What Trends Are Shaping The Defense Support and Auxiliary Equipment Market?
The primary companies in the defense support and auxiliary equipment market are turning their focus towards creating domestically built submarines in an attempt to gain a stronger foothold in the market. A domestically constructed submarine is one that is planned, developed, and built within the confines of the country, without dependence on overseas technology or expertise. Submarines play a crucial role in defense support equipment, serving to defend naval assets and vessels from attacks within the marine environment. In an noteworthy achievement for replenishing outmoded naval capacities, Taiwan, an East Asian nation, introduced its first domestically built submarine in September 2023. This diesel-electric attack submarine, named Hai Kun after a mythical Chinese fish, was launched in Kaohsiung, a southern city, at the CSBC (China Shipbuilding Corporation) Shipyard. Key features of this submarine include digital sonar systems, consolidated combat systems, and other auxiliary equipment systems, such as periscopes.
