Global Battlefield Management Systems Market 2016-2020

Market overview of the global battlefield management systems market

A battle management system provides the military unit with an integrated common operating picture (COP), which utilizes collaborative planning tools to enhance the decision-making skills of the troops. The rising political tension between countries like Russia, Ukraine, US, Mexico, China, India, and Pakistan is expected to result in the increased adoption of new and modernized systems and technologies. This growing need to strengthen the battlefield capabilities of countries is a critical factor that results in this market’s moderate CAGR of nearly 4% by 2020.

The augmented need to modernize military vehicles is the key driver for the growth of this market. The upgradation of military vehicles offers advantages like easy navigation, improved surveillance performance, enhanced communication between vehicles, and better implementation of advanced weapon systems. These benefits help ground forces to increase the chances of survival in a battlefield and also increases their situational awareness.
