Summary
$54.34 billion is the projected size of the global command-and-control systems market in 2031, up from $40.83 billion in 2026, according to a MarketsandMarkets forecast.
5.9% annual growth is tied to military and government upgrades of legacy C2 networks, with demand centered on real-time situational awareness, secure communications and faster multi-domain decision-making.
6.8% is the expected CAGR for platform-integrated deployments, while software is forecast to be the fastest-growing offering and tactical systems to retain the dominant command-level share.
6.9% growth in Asia Pacific leads all regions as Japan, Australia, India and South Korea expand command networks, joint operations and interoperable air-and-missile-defense capabilities.
Will the massive $54 billion shift toward open-architecture command networks finally allow agile tech startups to dethrone traditional defense giants?
As militaries rush toward AI-driven command systems by 2031, could this heavy software reliance create catastrophic vulnerabilities in contested battlefields?
