Key Market Issues
As a peace-loving country, Switzerland promotes armed neutrality, which implies that the country does not ally with any side in the event of war, but trains its armed forces for self-defense and internal protection. In line with this principle, Switzerland cannot form military alliances unless the nation faces attack from an external force. The country is also prevented from giving consent for the transit for foreign forces. In such a scenario, the defense expenditure of the country is likely be impacted, and the government will direct their budget towards the development of banking, timepiece and tourism industries, in order to boost growth, the employment rate and overall economic prosperity. This is likely to be a disappointment for foreign defense companies, which will see Switzerland as a less attractive destination for defense related investments, affecting the transfer of technological knowledge and other offset programs.

Key Highlights
Most of the equipment currently maintained by the Swiss armed forces', including arms and ammunitions, is old and nearing obsolescence, approaching the end of a useful service life. Utilization of this equipment is anticipated to increase the maintenance and repair expenses. As a result, the Swiss government is on track to boost its expenditure on the acquisition of high-end and more advanced military systems. This equipment is expected to enhance the fighting strength of the country's armed forces. In 2011, the government decided to retire its obsolete F-5 Tiger fighter jets under the Tiger-Partial Replacement TTE program. They will be replaced with the purchase of 22 Gripen jet fighters planes from Sweden's Saab AB, over the next 10 years, with the first delivery expected to come in late 2018. In this regard, the Swiss defense department has assigned a fund of US$342.0 million in the budget of 2013. Additionally, the government intends to add military trucks, vans, 1-axle trailers, and armored personnel cars to its fleet of vehicles. Switzerland also intends to incur expenditure on the design, testing and procurement of superior armor material.
