Frost & Sullivan: U.S. DoD Spending on C4ISR Loses Steam as General-purpose Equipment Gains Traction PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, July 12, 2012 - DoD spending trends point to a growth in demand for inexpensive, tried and tested platforms MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Straitened economic circumstances and troop withdrawals are expected to reduce command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) funding, restricting the Department of Defense's (DoD's) spending to applications that have direct relevance to counter- insurgency or terror operations. Planned force structure reductions, particularly for ground forces and satellite assets, will curtail C4ISR spending and instead, turn the DoD's attention to intelligence and special operations. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.defense.frost.com), DoD C4ISR, finds that the 2013 U.S. DoD C4ISR budget request is $42.97 billion and will decline at a moderate rate through 2017. C4ISR spending is about 6.9 percent of the total DoD budget.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California

July 12, 2012

/PRNewswire/ -- Straitened economic

circumstances and troop withdrawals are expected to reduce command,

control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and

reconnaissance (C4ISR) funding, restricting the Department of Defense's

(DoD's) spending to applications that have direct relevance to counter-

insurgency or terror operations. Planned force structure reductions, particularly

for ground forces and satellite assets, will curtail C4ISR spending and instead,

turn the DoD's attention to intelligence and special operations.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.defense.frost.com),

DoD C4ISR

finds that the 2013 U.S. DoD C4ISR budget request is

$42.97 billion

and will

decline at a moderate rate through 2017. C4ISR spending is about 6.9 percent

of the total DoD budget.

"While research, development, test & evaluation (RDT&E) spending will reduce,

the following: repair, maintenance, training, information assurance, and

operational services will continue to be funding priorities," said Frost & Sullivan

Senior Industry Analyst Brad Curran. "The DoD budget will be mostly

earmarked for acquiring cost-efficient, general-purpose equipment."

There will be fewer platforms of all types, as the DoD will eschew high-end

platforms in favor of proven and reliable designs that afford maximum

flexibility.

Most of the available C4ISR equipment has reached the end of its serviceable

life and is awaiting upgrades. The DoD is looking to spruce up neglected

'conventional' capabilities as missile defense and electronic warfare require

substantial investments to keep pace with the advances made by potential

adversaries. Electronic warfare and information operation activities will

experience the fastest growth rate till 2017.

The DoD is perceptibly leaning toward multi-purpose technologies that fuse

various collection disciplines and standardize reporting. Processing and

dissemination of full-motion video will also continue to be an area of robust

growth.

There has been a surge in the adoption of practical, rapid, inexpensive

platforms such as aerostats and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tools like

wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi). C4ISR services such as language and cultural skills,

maintenance, engineering, integration, training, project management –
