[edit]Since the recovery from the 1997 economic crisis, Malaysian Army, along with other branches of the Malaysian Armed Forces, has regained momentum in its modernising programs.
| Modernisation program | Asset | Origin | Type | Quantity | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personnel equipment | ||||||
| Future Soldier System Program | Sapura SAKTI Soldier System | Soldier equipment | The Malaysian Army currently has a soldier modernisation program called the Future Soldier System (FSS). Under the FSS, The Malaysian Army plans to equip all soldiers with Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) such as high-cut ballistic helmets, individual body armors, ballistic eyewear and hearing protection. The programme also includes retrofitting issued M4 carbines with RIS kits, as well as equipping soldiers with a Glock pistol.[170][171] Sapura, a Malaysian electronics company, is offering their SAKTI Soldier System concept via work in three areas: Head Sub-System (HSS), Body Sub-System (BSS) and Weapon Sub-System (WSS). The FSS in conjunction with the Network Centric Operation (NCO) System, will give the three branches of the Armed Forces a shared situational awareness, interoperability and a common operating picture via an X-band satellite-based link and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system, with hopes to enable self-synchronisation for all three branches.[172] The programme will go through several phases, with Phase 1A (the implementation of the Mobile X-band satellite communication linked) and Phase 2 (the demonstration of the capabilities of the FSS with NCO) being successful and operational in 2017.[173] | |||
| Assault Rifle Program | CAR 816 | Assault rifle | Will be produced in Malaysia by Ketech Asia.[174][175] | |||

Bhd. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide CAESAR 6×6 to Malaysian Army as well as local assembly. At DSA 2022, BAE System Bofors from Sweden offered their Archer 6×6 SPH.
