This research service focuses on the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) contracting information for research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E); procurement; and services. The analyst has segmented contracting data by military department and overall leading firms. The data and insights provided pertain to calendar year (CY) 2022 DoD contracting information.
DoD C4ISR contracts reflect the DoD's aim to sustain equipment; modernize networks; and develop faster and more accurate situational awareness, decision-making, and collaboration to deter potential adversaries.
Contract awards data is an estimate drawn from DoD published information and does not include classified information. Contracts are awarded by a variety of organizations within each of the military departments. Segmentation and contracting estimates are made at the analyst’s discretion.
The purpose of this study is to discuss the leading DoD C4ISR contractors and technology areas of interest. The DoD C4ISR market is mature and stable. This study will outline and provide commentary regarding competitive firms and contracting trends. The main goals are to understand the current state of the DoD C4ISR competitive environment and point out both high spending areas and opportunities to participate in the DoD C4ISR market.
