Conclusions from the April 2008 release of Vector's Armor Procurement Forecast for US Military Ground Vehicles:
- Vector Strategy projects that $21 billion of armor for US military ground vehicles will be procured by the Department of Defense for US military forces between 2008 and 2013 (six years inclusive).
- Specific vehicle and armor programs driving FY08 and FY09 armor procurement include new up-armored HMMWV procurement, Frag Kit #6 for HMMWVs, base vehicle protection for MRAPs, EFP protection for MRAPs, LTAS implementation on FMTVs and HEMTT A4s, new Stryker vehicle procurement and survivability enhancements, and Abrams and Bradley Urban Survival Kits.
- Vector Strategy sees FY10 as a year of transition between the peak armor procurement of FY07 to FY09 and the more “steady-state” procurement rate of FY11 to FY13.

Conclusions from Vector's Material Requirements and Supply Chain Analysis:
- Vector Strategy projects that $9 billion of material will be required for the procurement of armor for military ground vehicles between 2008 and 2013 (six years inclusive).
- Material requirements in fiscal year 2008 represent a surge market due to MRAP vehicle armor procurement and EFP protection for HMMWV’s and MRAP’s.
- In 2008, Vector projects that metals represent 66% of total material requirements (by weight), non-metals represent 17%, and transparent armor represents 16%. These proportions change significantly by 2013 to reflect a transition to non-metallic based armor solutions.
