Research and Markets: European Air ISR Command and Control (C2) Market Assessment

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/494953/european_air_isr_c) has
announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "European Air ISR
Command and Control (C2) Market Assessment" to their offering.

The European Air ISR C2 Market Holds Promising Opportunities with Radar
Equipment and Aircraft at the End of their Life Cycle

The air ISR C2 market in Europe is fiercely competitive. With the European
Defence Agency (EDA) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) active in the
region, the armed forces of the European countries are anticipated to upgrade
and procure more defence systems. As C2 systems are the vital and critical
components of any troop, especially in the frontlines, the air ISR C2 market
holds huge potential in Europe as well as globally. Regular procurement and
upgrades of these systems are necessary for armed forces in order to maintain
their battle readiness. Radar equipment and aircraft for the armed forces are
almost reaching the end of their life cycle, thereby providing more opportunity
for market participants. "Partnerships and joint ventures are the key trends in
the market, allowing participants to exchange innovative ideas and arrive at
unique and novel products," says the analyst of this research. "Meeting European
Union (EU) and NATO standards are a trend in all defence-related markets as it
facilitates reciprocal operability among member countries."

However, achieving interoperability among the member countries and increasing
multinational operations make it challenging to meet the specified standards.
Countries would need to have interoperability, if not uniformity, in the
products procured, in order to achieve network-centric capabilities. This
factor, along with shrinking budgetary allocations for defence R&D, remains a
key challenge. Budgets across Europe are dwindling as some of the R&D
necessitates significant investments. The risk is that all the money invested
does not always reap dividends.

"Investing in R&D for new technology and products would be of great value to
industry participants as the objective of end users is to surpass their
adversaries in all defence-related products and services," concludes the
analyst. "Collaborating on these R&D activities would result in information
sharing amongst industry participants and yield a better product for end-users,
paving the way for enhanced business opportunities."
