For over 40 years, MS&T has provided comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and innovations in military training and simulation, supporting the defense sector with in-depth analysis and expert insights.

The military simulation and training market is poised for significant growth over the next decade. As of 2023, the global market was valued at approximately $10.3 billion and is projected to reach $15.6 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%.

Key Market Drivers

Technological Advancements: The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) is transforming military training methodologies. These technologies enable more immersive and realistic training environments, enhancing the effectiveness of training programs.
Increasing Defense Budgets: Rising defense expenditures globally are fueling the demand for sophisticated training solutions. Countries are investing heavily in simulation and training systems to ensure their military personnel are well-prepared for modern combat scenarios.
Need for Cost-Effective Training: Simulation and training systems provide a cost-effective alternative to live training exercises, reducing the need for expensive equipment and logistics. This is particularly important as defense budgets, while increasing, still require efficient allocation of resources.
Saving the Lives Of Our Warfighters: Whether through better tactical and device based training or improved battlefield and post action medical training, the need to equip personnel to best operate and protect themselves is paramount. To quote the Spartans; ‘he who sweats more in training bleeds less in war.’

Halldale Group is evolving its editorial approach to deliver more curated, high-value content for the global training and simulation community. As part of this direction, our coverage will place greater emphasis on analysis, sector trends, and developments that advance industry-wide training conversations.

Due to increasing submission volumes, the publication of individual company press releases is now prioritized for industry partners and organizations that actively engage with Halldale Group through our events and initiatives.
