Market Overview

The global military simulation and training market is experiencing rapid growth due to increased investments in defense technologies and a rising demand for advanced, realistic training solutions. As military forces face evolving security threats and operational challenges, there is a growing need for simulation systems that offer immersive, real-time decision-making scenarios. These systems, which include virtual, constructive, and live simulations, are crucial for preparing military personnel for combat and peacekeeping missions.

Technological innovations such as VR, AR, mixed reality, AI, machine learning, and big data analytics are transforming military training by offering more realistic and adaptable scenarios. These technologies enable dynamic simulations that respond to trainee decisions, making training more effective and scalable. Additionally, synthetic environments and multi-domain simulations help connect various areas of warfare, enhancing readiness across ground, cyber, and space operations.

Defense investments in countries like Belgium, which plans to allocate 2.5% of its GDP to defense by 2034, are expected to significantly impact military training. This investment will modernize air defense systems, acquire new fighter jets, and improve transport capabilities, all of which will require advanced simulation training to ensure military personnel are prepared to operate and maintain new technologies effectively. Belgium’s strategic role in NATO will also demand sophisticated training solutions for complex missions.

 

Recent Strategic Collaborations in Military Simulation and Training (2024)

In 2024, several technology and defense companies formed strategic collaborations to advance military simulation and training solutions. Key partnerships include HAVELSAN and INTRA Defense Technologies to enhance military simulation technologies, Rheinmetall and Hologate developing XR and VR solutions for training, and Vertex Solutions and RYAN AEROSPACE showcasing flight simulators using mixed reality and VR. Additionally, FORC3 and Calian collaborated to strengthen proposals for the Canadian Army, while Zen Technologies partnered with AVT Simulation to develop next-gen immersive training systems. These collaborations aim to improve military readiness and modernize defense training technologies globally.

 

Advancements in Aerial Military Simulation Training Across the Globe

Aerial military simulation training has become essential in modernizing armed forces worldwide. The U.S. Air Force utilizes the Virtual Cockpit Simulator for a range of aircraft, while the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) employs AI-powered simulators to enhance helicopter pilot training. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II Training System exemplifies the evolution of aviation training, providing comprehensive solutions for pilots and maintenance personnel.

In China, realistic training exercises in the Taklamakan Desert, featuring mock-ups of advanced U.S. aircraft, focus on air and naval combat readiness. Similarly, India’s integration of simulation technology, like the C-295 full-motion simulator, boosts pilot training for complex missions while preserving resources.

QinetiQ Germany’s UAV demonstrations highlight the shift towards uncrewed systems in training exercises, enhancing realism and efficiency. Additionally, events like Aero India 2025 showcase India’s self-reliant defense technologies, including the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), integrated with simulation systems to bolster military preparedness and innovation.

 

Recent Contracts in the Global Military Simulation and Training Market

  • Raytheon (December 2024): Raytheon was awarded a $191.1 million contract by the Missile Defense Agency to deliver modeling and simulation services for U.S. Army and Navy missile defense systems. This contract, which will run until October 2027, aims to enhance training and operational readiness. The work will be carried out across multiple locations, including Huntsville, Alabama; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Woburn, Massachusetts.
  • Combat Robotics India (November 2024): In partnership with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Combat Robotics India developed the “Astra” simulator for unmanned vehicles. This sophisticated simulator collects extensive operational data, which helps researchers refine the design and functionality of unmanned vehicles to meet the ever-evolving requirements of the armed forces.
  • Lockheed Martin (July 2024): Lockheed Martin secured a USD 4.6 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to create AI tools for dynamic airborne missions. The project, part of DARPA’s Artificial Intelligence Reinforcements (AIR) program, aims to enhance modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques to support multi-ship, beyond visual range (BVR) missions and improve real-time decision-making in combat scenarios.
  • BAE Systems (February 2025): BAE Systems has been awarded a USD 251 million contract to support the U.S. Navy’s AEGIS Combat System. Under this agreement, BAE Systems will provide a range of services, including systems engineering, testing and evaluation, logistics, system acquisitions, and cybersecurity, to bolster the capabilities of the AEGIS Combat System.

 

APAC Witnessing Fastest Growth Rate

The APAC region exhibits diverse revenue distribution in the military simulation and training market. In 2024, China led with the largest revenue share at 30%, driven by its strong manufacturing capabilities, large consumer base, and government support for technological advancements. India followed closely with 28% of the revenue share, fueled by its expanding economy, increased defense budget, and the growing adoption of simulation tools by its 1.4 million-strong army.

South Korea and Indonesia contributed 6% and 5.5%, respectively, with South Korea benefiting from its advanced technology sector and Indonesia seeing growth due to urbanization and government investments in infrastructure and digital transformation. Taiwan accounted for 4%, supported by its electronics and semiconductor industries, while Japan held a 3% share, driven by technological progress. Australia, with a 1% share, had a smaller but significant presence due to the demand for high-quality products and services.

Overall, while China and India dominate the revenue contribution in the APAC market, other countries also play a key role in shaping the regional dynamics.
