Global Military Computer Market, By Type (Rugged, Embedded), By Platform (Airborne, Ground, Naval) opportunities and forecast 2020-2027
Covid-19 Impact on Military Computer Market:As the COVID-19 pandemic continuing its effect around the world, many defense and aerospace companies are facing its impact during this time around the world. For instance, commercial aviation companies in the U.S., France, Germany, and Canada are facing disruption in the production process and reduced demand as workforces staying at home, passengers stop traveling, and delay in delivery of new aircraft. Analysts expecting a drop from 3,000 to 4,000 aircraft during the pandemic period. On the defense side, contractors operating in the sector are in a better position, hence the impact of the pandemic is likely low in the short to mid-term. However, low demand due to budget constraints affecting the production as in aircraft manufacturing.
Market OverviewGlobal Military Computers Market is anticipated to witness significant growth during forecast period. The militaries in various countries are upgrading their current systems with the new and advanced ones including military computers. These computers are used in innumerable ways for several tasks. For instance, they provide direct network to allow the multiple lines of the communication between several parties in military. Efficient communication is key aspect in military as it can haste up the processes and allow for the more fluid decision-making, which is anticipated to drive the market growth during forecast period. North America is likely to be prominent region for military computers market due to presence of the major manufacturers, including Curtiss-Wright Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation in region. Europe is anticipated to be second-largest market owing to the growing demand for the military computers in the region.
Segment OverviewRugged computer segment is anticipated to be the larger during forecast period. These computers are designed to function in harsh environments and climatic conditions. These systems provide features such as HD graphics, USB interface, Ethernet connectivity, and Wi-Fi connectivity. These rugged computers permit military personnel to share and view crucial information from the remote areas. Hence, rugged computers segment is likely to register higher CAGR during forecast period.
The militaries are concentrating on deploying more technologically-advanced and portable computers in warzones. The ruggedness of the military devices such as handhelds, laptops, and wearable is necessary to function and survive properly in extreme conditions including extreme cold and heat. Similarly, governments across globe are showing interest in the military wearable as they provide the data regarding soldier’s location and health and are easy to carry for soldiers.
Regional OverviewNorth America military computers market is anticipated to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period. The growth is owing to high military budget of U.S. and the high level of advancements and sophistication in technology of the U.S. military defense systems. The U.S. Army uses the advanced systems, scope of adoption of the embedded computers is high. Undergoing R&D for military weapons and equipment for U.S. Army would also drive adoption of the military computers.
According to (SIPRI) Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the U.S. was the largest spender on the military with almost USD 610 billion in the year 2017 as USD 596 billion in the year 2015. The rise in the defense expenditure can be accredited to the rising arms manufacturing and the army modernization programs. For instance, in 2018, U.S. Army signed contract with the Lockheed Martin Corporation for the about USD 356 million for the close-combat tactical training, manned module modernization (M3) systems. Furthermore, growing adoption of the advanced technology by U.S. Army for improved data security and privacy is boosting market growth in region.
Competitor overviewIn Sept 2017, company Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s company subsidiary Defense Solutions signed contract with prime contractor to offer rugged airborne processing system technology for the use on defense platform. It includes the COTS modules along with CHAMP-XD2M the digital signal processor module. The original contract was valued at the USD 3 million and potential lifetime value of contract is projected at USD 6 million.
