This research service covers Asia-Pacific defense markets with an emphasis on operational requirements, technology trends, and the competitive environment. It includes current and future spending estimates for research and development, procurement, and operations and maintenance. Platforms including surface ships, submarines, fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned vehicles; as well as combat systems such as missile defense, electronic warfare, and command & control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (C4ISR) will be discussed. Political and territorial tensions remain high in the region. Many nations have a desire to modernize their forces, become more self-sufficient, and participate in global defense export markets. This is leading countries to increase defense spending, seek market information that will help identify opportunities to improve their own forces, and develop products for export. The market research presented was obtained from secondary and primary sources, and combines quantitative and qualitative information. Also discussed is how dual-use civilian and military technologies such as satellites, geospatial, cloud computing, mobility, robotics, gaming, autonomy, social media, and cybersecurity are utilized. Insights are provided on current and anticipated program spending and industry leaders, which will help firms identify growth opportunities and formulate go-to-market strategies to assist them with improving their relative market share. The purpose of this study is to highlight nations' defense spending and technology trends for aircraft, ships, and combat systems. The regional defense industry competitive structure is outlined to help market participants better understand how to increase direct sales and partnerships in the region.--BEGIN PROMO--
