2017 to 2021 Battlefield Management System Market Demand Outlook Compared to 2022 to 2032 Forecast

The battlefield management system market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% for the forecast period.

Due to steadily changing fighting situations in a few nations across the world, the interest in trend-setting innovative weapons is expanding at a fast rate. A few nations across the world are financially planning to secure the development of BMS gear and parts to be prepared in the event of war.

Trend-setting innovations like expanded reality and computer-generated reality are totally changing procedures and are prompting development in government towards warrior modernization.

Situational Awareness to Support the Decision Making Process

Situational awareness gives the capacity to distinguish, process, and basic data from different sources. The progress of any air, maritime, or military activity relies on the precision of knowledgeable decisions. High-level knowledge, observation, and surveillance advances incorporated with order and control capacities give air, ground, and sea arrangements with constant situational mindfulness data for key independent direction. The Mission Expert battle vehicles are coordinated with the front-line executives' frameworks for exact and ongoing situational awareness.

Regional Analysis

North America was estimated to have the largest market share in 2021 with 29.6%, and South Asia and the Pacific are estimated to be the fastest growing region for the battlefield management system market with a CAGR of 4.9% for the forecast period.

There are many manufacturers of BMS operating in North America, historically this region has spent massively on its defense and military infrastructure, and only recently has it decided to cut down on the expenditure. The countries USA and Canada, both have a presence in numerous international military tie-ups and the militaries also have large manpower and artillery at their disposal due to which management of these resources becomes important.

South Asia and Pacific expenditure is estimated to grow due to government initiatives to allow private companies to manufacture hardware and software solutions for military purposes and rising border tensions in this region.

Large Military Investments in the USA Help the Battlefield Management System Market Grow

The USA makes significant investments in battlefield management systems in order to introduce cutting-edge technologies in the defence sector. The market for battlefield management systems has benefited from the vast use of cutting-edge technologies in the area.

The USA government is still working to improve its capabilities in the air, land, and sea domains. Makes significant investments in the global military. The USA is increasingly putting an emphasis on soldier-level military modernization. The battlefield management systems market is experiencing significant prospects as a result of the battlefield's adoption of technologies like AI and IoT. The global market for battlefield management systems is being driven by the aforementioned causes.

As military technology advances and becomes more widely accessible, competitors quickly develop capabilities that endanger the troops. The USA military is creating battlefield management systems to prevent such threats. These systems assist in giving commanders exact real-time information so they can make judgments and execute extremely effective control during operations on the battlefield.

Application of Battlefield Management System Estimated to Grow in India

The Defence Ministry of India will order prototypes from the two consortia that are vying to provide India's new battlefield management system (BMS) within the next six months. The projected US$ 6 billion systems will be created under Make in India act and will only be available to Indian businesses. According to the Defence Ministry, the two development companies Tata Power SED and state-owned Bharat Electronics state-owned with Larsen & Toubro both presented their comprehensive project reports last month.

Implementation of AI and ML for Battlefield Management System in Russia

The development of weaponized AI by Russia is ascribed to the strategic outcome and dangers of autonomy as well as to the country's drive for power or the global AI race. One of the important areas for the future of defence strategy has been identified as the modernization of technology with artificial intelligence. One important feature of AI is that it can be integrated with systems to provide a variety of functions and technologies that can be used to create a tactical edge over competitors.

With significant investments in the military, the business sector, and state-sponsored actors, Russia is leading the way in its AI agenda. It has been claimed that the USA may be outmatched in the fields of artillery, armour, space, air defence, and cyberspace as a result of Russia's growing embrace of cutting-edge technologies and contemporary warfare capabilities.

What role does the Battlefield Management System play in Ground Forces?

Battlefield Management Systems (BMS) are essential to modern warfare, enabling commanders at all levels to make faster and better decisions based on reliable operational information provided in real time, and monitored sensors can quickly close the shooter loop. Future force operations will be combined and composed of all weapons and inter-service elements. These operations require units and subunits from other armies to act subordinately or in cooperation with each other.

The key to success is effective command and control of all forces, so commanders at all levels, especially top-level, need relevant information to improve their decision-making and leadership skills. Here, the use of information technology has the power to improve the operational efficiency of commanders and forces at all levels by enabling the sharing, filtering, and processing of currently available but unintegrated digital information.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons, ground forces held the highest market share of 46.5% in 2021.

How does Command HQ-based BMS support the growth of the Battlefield Management System market?

Battlefield Management Systems (BMS) provide absolute situational awareness by efficiently displaying critical data to field commanders. The system provides an integrated and common operational picture with the help of collaborative planning tools. This allows tactical commanders to make quick, informed decisions and control battlefield operations with great efficiency.

Improving system reliability is an important factor in countries choosing battlefield management systems. The inclusion of advanced data distribution units allows real-time situational information to be collected and distributed to various command centers. Additionally, using GPS tools to get a complete picture of the battlefield provides critical information for mission planning and control.

Due to these factors, command HQ-based BMS was estimated to hold the highest market share of 43.3% for the year 2021.

Why the demand for Battlefield Management System Devices is increasing?

The Battle Management System, combined with technology such as Soldier Data Terminals, Soldier Interface Units, Tactical Communications Equipment, and Vehicle-Mount Displays, enables armed forces to anticipate, characterize, and coordinate operations against enemy forces. Technological improvements such as SINCGARS Tactical BMS and Weapon Integrated BMS have enabled soldiers and vehicles to be tracked in real-time.

During the forecast period, recent innovations such as SINCGARS Tactical BMS (Tactical BMS for Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System) and WINBMS (Weapons Integrated Battle Management Systems) are expected to boost the demand. These systems provide real-time position monitoring, detection, command messaging, IP networking, and embedded GPS. WINBMS also offers encrypted data transfer.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons, devices are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% for the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

Although this market is dominated by companies that operate in the defense industry, companies that have a strong standing in providing software solutions and electronic components have also entered the battlefield management system market. The key vendors are either based in North America or Europe.

• In June 2021, Atos announced the successful delivery of SICS, the command and control system for the SCORPION program, to the French Defence Procurement Agency. Atos was further entrusted with the development and maintenance of the system.
• In February 2020, Saab AB entered an agreement with the Australian Department of Defence and provided the Royal Australian Navy with its battlefield management system, apart from this development SaaB AB also undertook the modernization of 9LV CMS, its naval combat management system.
