Description

The Canadian and United States military have spent a considerable amount of money to purchase avionics for new aircraft and as retrofits for older aircraft. As pressure on the budgets of both countries forces reassessments of that spending the military services will need to think strategically about the future procurements and methodologies. The market is defined as the spending for avionics products and services by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) with government contractors. Research was conducted in July and August of 2012 and used the DoD and RCAF budget materials from calendar year (CY) 2012 and the contracts awarded in CY 2011.
