 C5ISR is an acronym that stands for command; control; computers; communications; combat; and intelligence, surveillance, & reconnaissance. According to the U.S. Army, C5ISR is a technology designed to allow information dominance and decisive lethality for networked soldiers. Radios, night vision, workstations, smartphones, and electronic sensors are a few examples of the technology. It employs technology such as command and control (C2) systems, software-defined radios (SDRs), and satellites. It assists decision-makers to make critical decisions more accurately and effectively during wars. Moreover, emerging and developing countries are expected to expand their demand for network communications, national command & control (C2), sensor improvements, space capabilities, intelligence, and electronic warfare systems.

The major factors driving the C5ISR market growth include increase in use of unmanned platforms, rise in need for integrated solutions, surge in global terrorism, and rise in security concerns due to territorial conflicts. Unmanned platform is an integral part of the system, which includes the command, control, and communication (C3) systems. It has various uses in recent military applications such as search & rescue, real-time surveillance, reconnaissance operations, traffic monitoring, and hazardous site inspection. However, - high costs of designing and developing intelligence, surveillance, & reconnaissance (ISR) systems are hampering the growth of the market. On the contrary, increase in defense expenditure by major economies is expected to create new market opportunities in near future.

Rise in Need for Integrated Solutions

The U.S. Army issued a proposal to the industry seeking a highly versatile ground combat vehicle (GCV) as a part of the modernization efforts to provide its armed forces with a next-generation infantry-fighting vehicle. Army officials are in the process of standardizing the information technology architecture with almost all the current and future ground combat vehicles (GCVs). The aim is to minimize the weight and power of electronics, lower life-cycle costs, and increase interoperability while still supplying combat warriors with all of the data and communication capability required on the battlefield. For instance, in May 2021, the U.S. Army ordered an advanced ground robot FLIR Centaur, including additional spares, antennas, and payload mounting kits from Teledyne FLIR LLC.

Growing Security Concerns due to Territorial Conflicts and Global Terrorism

Territorial conflicts have historically been the major reason for wars, particularly when two governments disagree over specific bits of land. The causes of these kinds of conflicts include a mix of economic and political concerns, normative concerns, and competition for scarce natural resources. Moreover, in recent years, terrorist attacks increased drastically due to increase in power of terrorists. For instance, in January 2021, a deadly twin suicide attack had hit central Baghdad. In addition, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, a total of 8,302 terrorist attacks occurred worldwide in 2019, resulting in 25,082 deaths and 19,924 injuries. Increase in attacks leads to rise in C5ISR-enabled systems acquisitions and procurement by major economies, thus boosting the demand growth for the C5ISR market. Additionally, increase in security concern among countries due to rise in territorial conflicts is expected to increase demand for C5ISR systems across the globe.
