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  Malaysia 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]
