This Frost & Sullivan research service focuses on US Department of Defense (DoD) command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) budget spending. The study includes research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E); procurement; operations and maintenance (O&M); and other services.
C4ISR spending for the fiscal year 2025 DoD budget request is the foundation of this research. The DoD C4ISR 2025 budget request covers the Army, Navy/Marine Corps, Air Force/Space Force, joint service spending plans, and major program spending requests. The base year for financial spending is 2023 and the market forecast is from 2024 to 2029.
Electronic warfare (EW) programs are included because of the close operational and technical relationship across C4ISR sectors. This study also outlines growth opportunities for research and development, procurement, and O&M.
This study is not an inventory of US DoD C4ISR system types, numbers, technical specifications, or platform installations. Program segmentation, inclusion, large multi-year programs, and funding forecasts are at the analyst’s discretion.
