Restraints: High cost and Maintenance time for Fleet modernization
Fleet modernization is crucial for enhancing military vehicle capabilities, extending service life, and meeting evolving operational requirements. It involves upgrading, retrofitting, and, in some cases, replacing vehicles in a fleet to ensure they remain effective, reliable, and mission-ready. Fleet modernization also involves replacing outdated military vehicles with new ones. Fleet modernization includes proper availability of spare parts and maintenance support as new vehicles may use different parts and systems than older vehicles, which can make it difficult to find spare parts and maintenance support. The process of modernization can be complex and expensive, making it difficult for the military to afford the modernization of their entire fleet. This leads to delays in repairs and can increase the cost of sustainment. The transition from old to new vehicles can also be troublesome to military operations as for new vehicles it may require training and stimulation for military personnel. This can take time and resources, and it can impact the readiness of forces. It is important to modernize the fleet to ensure that the military has the most capable and reliable vehicles. Fleet modernization includes the integration of advanced technologies.

Challenges: Lack in resource allocation
The lack of resource allocation in military vehicle sustainment is a concern that can have comprehensive effects for a nation’s defense capabilities. Government and defense organizations are facing challenges when it comes to allocating sufficient resources to support the maintenance, repair, and modernization of their military vehicle fleets. Military vehicles, particularly advanced platforms like tanks, heavy tactical vehicles , and other combat vehicles require specialized expertise, advanced technology, and high-quality spare parts for effective maintenance and upgrades. One of the primary issues contributing to this resource allocation shortfall is budget constraints. The funds available for sustainment activities may not be appropriate with the scale and complexity of modern military vehicles due to limited budget competing priorities, economic conditions, and political considerations. This can lead to delayed maintenance, reduced readiness levels, and increased operational risks.. These resources often come at a premium, and if budgets are not adjusted accordingly, the sustainment efforts can suffer for military vehicles. Defense organizations mostly focus on short-term objectives and immediate needs, neglecting the importance of long-term planning.
