FOCUS Investment Banking Presents C4ISR Industry Review and Outlook

Overview

The United States Military is increasingly focused on electronic warfare and cyberattack defense. These priorities are reflected in the Department of Defense (DoD) budget as well; 40% of the DoD’s military budget is allocated towards the procurement of military electronics and technologies. A large amount of capital must be spent on the upgrades needed to achieve this level of modernization, a primary driver of demand within this space. The DoD is expected to invest approximately $30B in electronic warfare capabilities over the next 3 years.

The military’s shift from physical fighting to electronic warfare and cybersecurity has created M&A opportunities for industry players, who are growing their companies by acquiring smaller companies with specialized capabilities within the C4ISR space.
