Description

This research provides a comprehensive overview of the US foreign military sales industry outlook.

Based on major arms segmentation, it categorizes the industry into:
• Missiles
• Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
• Fixed-Wing Aircraft
• Rotary-Wing Aircraft
• Unmanned Systems
• Others

The study analyzes the Department of Defense’s contracts for the calendar year (CY) 2024, including multi-year obligations to:
• Determine key industry drivers and restraints affecting growth through 2029
• Assess spending trends across major defense departments and sub-departments
• Identify leading major arms segments and examine segment-specific technology trends
• Examine the customer landscape and determine the top customer countries, their procurement priorities, and the largest recorded defense contracts
• Analyze the industry competitive landscape and highlight the market share of leading defense contractors

The research also explores evolving regional geopolitical dynamics and bilateral and multilateral defense partnerships, identifying emerging contracting and market expansion opportunities in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas.

The study underscores the importance of collaboration among US-based defense firms, academia, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop cost-effective, innovative solutions amid increasing competition from allied nations strengthening their domestic defense industrial bases. Synergistic partnerships with defense firms in allied nations can accelerate technology transfers, innovation, and co-development of new defense systems, and bolster supply chain resilience for US defense exporters.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
