The global C4ISR market size was estimated to USD 93,803 million in 2018 and expected to grow at a significant CAGR 3.6% during the forecast period 2019-2025. C4ISR stands for command, control, communication, computers, surveillance, and reconnaissance. C4ISR system is a combination of hardware and software where the lack or absence of any of these components will turn the system into a handicap that is incapable of functioning properly. C4ISR systems integrate weapons with organic control systems and electronics hardware for resolving the problem of fatalities in the war field. The major aim of these systems is providing awareness to support real-time and near real-0time decision making at all levels of authority. With C4ISR systems, military forces are capable of conducting and operating weapons for surgical missions over satellite networks.

The demand for the C4ISR system is estimated to increase during the forecast period due to its increasing adoption in military and defense. A military operation is dependent on the capability of defense organizations for gathering enough intelligence and for analyzing this information, coupled with new and innovative command and control structures. Military operations can be at huge risk due to the absence of the ability to collect and analyzing information about the movement and intentions of the enemies. Thus, the requirement of such systems for analyzing information fuel the growth of the global C4ISR market.

The global C4ISR market can be segmented on the basis of platform and application. On the basis of the platform, the market is further analyzed as land, air, and naval. Among these, the land segment which is estimated to hold the significant position in the market due to a considerable amount of investment in command and control systems for land platform for improving interoperability. Furthermore, the air segment is estimated to exhibit a significant rate of CAGR owing to increased demand for unmanned aerial vehicles, geospatial solutions, and cybersecurity. Further, on the basis of application, the global C4ISR market is diversified as control and command, communication, intelligence, and surveillance and reconnaissance. Among these, surveillance and reconnaissance segment is anticipated to be contributing significantly in the global market due to the increase in demand for various surveillance and reconnaissance systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles, radar, and sonar.

On the basis of regional outlook, the market is analyzed into four major regions includes North America (US and Canada), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific) and Rest of the World, that contribute significantly to the growth of the market. Among these regions, North America is estimated to dominate the global C4ISR market due to contribution from major economies such as the US and Canada. In addition, advancement in technologies, as well as increasing investment by the government for C4ISR systems in the North American region, will further fuel the growth of the market in the particular region. Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to exhibit a significant growth owing to increasing demand for sensors upgrade and intelligence warfare systems.

There are various companies that are involved in the global C4ISR market such as BAE Systems PLC, Collins Aerospace, L3 Technologies Inc., Harris Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp., Lockheed Martin Corp., and others such as Cubic Corp., Serco Inc., and General Atomics. To stay competitive in the market, the players in the market adopt various strategies such as partnership and collaboration, and product launch. For instance, Northrop Grumman Corp. in November 2018, established a partnership with Harris Corporation and Comtech PST for demonstrating existing technologies for the Next Generation Jammer Low Band, which will fly on the EA-18G Growler for providing advanced airborne electronic attack capabilities. The system will provide the ability to combat increasingly advanced threats, enhancing the adoption of this system.
