Global C4ISR Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2024-2030

Introduction C4ISR is a military terminology, it is by the C2 (Command, Control) evolved, usually translated as command automation system. It is abbreviated of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence Surveillance, Reconnaissance. C4ISR system to provide military information command and management system, improve command efficiency. Now C4ISR has become the nerve center of modern army. Kosovo war is the first large-scale military use of C4ISR system by US. This system is the United States in 1962 formed a strategic command and control system, when the main purpose is to cope with nuclear war, so without the overall argument and the overall design of the case, the rush to the military and the Ministry of Defense of the existing system And equipment together to form the initial strategic C3I system. Since there was no set of specialized management agencies, coupled with the data format is not uniform, interconnection has difficulties, so until the early 70s or a loose consortium. After the unified management and planning, and transformation of the computer and other key equipment, unified data format and the implementation of the standardization, so that the system is in good running condition. In the 1991 Gulf War, the United States enabled the system, played an important role in the Gulf, but also exposed poor compatibility, interoperability and poor information sharing capabilities and equipment aging. After the war, after a large-scale update and improvement, become today's C4ISR system.
