NEW YORK, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

DoD C4ISR

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0885222/DoD-C4ISR.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Aerospace_and_Defense

This research service focuses on the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, and surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) budget spending. Included in this service are research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E), procurement, operations and maintenance (O&M), and services. Contract activity for the DoD C4ISR for 2011 is also included. The DoD C4ISR 2013 Budget is comprised of the Army, Navy/Marine Corps, Air Force, and Joint Service spending plans and is included in this study. This study indicates which technology products and services are emphasized in DoD C4ISR budget spending. The base year for financial spending is 2011, and the market forecast is from 2012 to 2017.

Executive Summary

•2013 programs for Department of Defense (DoD) command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), electronic warfare/information operations (EW/IO), and multipurpose technologies total $xx.xx billion.

•This is a decrease of $x.xx billion, or x.x percent from 2012 levels.

•C4ISR funding through 2017 has a negative x,.x percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Mature technologies and proven services will be the focus.

•Procurement is the largest spending category with $xx.xx billion requested for 2013 and a negative x.x percent CAGR through 2017.

•The Air Force has the largest share of funding at $xx.xx billion and a negative growth rate of x.x percent.

•Command and Control (C2) is the largest technology segment at $xx.xx billion in 2013 with a negative x.x percent CAGR through 2017.

•In 2012, the DoD awarded $xx.xx billion through xxx prime contracts to xxx companies. Lockheed Martin continued as the top C4ISR firm with $x.xx billion in new prime contracts.

•The top 10 firms had xx.x percent of the contract value in 2011. Networks is the largest technology area with $xx.xx billion, and this category had the most contracts at xxx.

C4ISR Overview—Definitions

•This research service is an overview of program funding and contract activity for the DoD C4ISR activities. C4ISR provides situational awareness of the battlefield.

•Due to the close operational and technological relationship with C4ISR, electronic warfare/information operations (EW/IO) data is also included.

•EW/IO gains frequency spectrum and information systems dominance.

•The research service forecasts do not include classified programs and budgets. A substantial amount of the total C4ISR market information is not accessible to the public.

•Program funding is derived from the DoD 2013 budget request and includes designated portions of OCO funding. Contract data is based on the 2011 calendar year.

•C4ISR systems inherent in new-build tactical ground vehicles, ships, and aircraft platforms are included if distinctly specified by program, contract, or contract modification.

•Program funding and contract values do not always align year-to year, due to a combination of administration costs, multiyear contracts, and technology use across segments.

•Program and contract segmentation, with funding forecasts beyond 2013, are made at the analyst's discretion.
