The global command and control (C2) system market was valued at US$36.59 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2024-2034.

Focus on Information Dominance and Cyber Resilience

Achieving information dominance and ensuring cyber resilience are paramount objectives for military organisations seeking to maintain superiority in the digital battlefield. C2 systems equipped with robust cybersecurity features and secure communication protocols are essential for protecting critical command and control infrastructure from cyber threats, ensuring uninterrupted operational continuity, and safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized access or exploitation by hostile actors.

Demand for Networked C2 Architectures and Distributed Command Structures

The shift towards network-centric warfare concepts and distributed command structures has driven the adoption of networked C2 architectures that enable decentralized decision-making and agile mission execution. Flexible C2 systems capable of supporting distributed command nodes, collaborative planning environments, and adaptive command structures empower military commanders to respond rapidly to dynamic threats, exploit emerging opportunities, and maintain operational tempo in dynamic environments.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Command and Control (C2) System Market?

The pandemic highlighted the importance of resilient and secure communication systems in crisis situations. The demand for C2 systems that can maintain operational continuity in remote or socially distanced environments saw an uptick. Government agencies, military forces, and emergency responders sought solutions that could adapt to the new challenges presented by the pandemic, further emphasizing the role of C2 systems in crisis management.

The C2 system market relies on a global supply chain for various components and technologies. Disruptions caused by lockdowns, restrictions, and factory closures impacted the availability and delivery of critical components. This, in turn, affected project timelines and led to delays in the deployment and maintenance of C2 systems, causing operational challenges for defence and security organizations. C2 system providers and their clients faced challenges in maintaining remote work capabilities. Companies needed to adapt to new remote work practices, while government and military clients had to ensure secure remote access to sensitive data and control systems. This prompted investment in solutions for secure remote operations, leading to opportunities for C2 system providers offering such capabilities.
