Description

The EMEA AI & Analytics in Military and Defense Market was valued at USD 3.9 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% to reach USD 12.6 billion by 2034.

The market growth is driven by the rapid modernization of defense forces, rising geopolitical tensions, and growing reliance on AI-powered decision-making systems. Increasing demand for autonomous defense technologies, real-time situational awareness, cyber resilience, and multi-domain operational coordination is accelerating AI integration across land, air, maritime, and cyber domains. Military organizations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa are investing heavily in AI-enabled platforms to enhance threat detection, accelerate data analysis, and strengthen mission readiness. AI adoption is being pushed by the need for real-time intelligence processing, as modern battlefields generate massive volumes of mission-critical data from sensors, drones, satellites, and surveillance systems. Defense agencies increasingly rely on AI analytics to extract insights, predict hostile actions, automate response mechanisms, and connect multi-domain operations. The ongoing shift toward autonomous systems and mission-planning tools is transforming how military forces strategize, manage intelligence, and respond to emerging threats, positioning AI as a central pillar of next-generation defense capability development.

Among the technology segments, the Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) category generated USD 1.1billion in 2024, sustained by increased deployment of satellite monitoring capabilities, drone-based reconnaissance systems, and advanced sensor networks across European and Middle Eastern defense forces. Strong investments in AI-powered image analysis, automated threat identification, and high-resolution remote sensing are enabling militaries to achieve superior detection accuracy and reduce response times across critical missions.

The airborne segment was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2024 due to its critical role in enabling real-time situational awareness, long-range surveillance, and rapid-response capabilities. This segment includes fighter aircraft, special mission aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). AI integration is rapidly transforming airborne defense operations by enhancing autonomous navigation, threat detection, target recognition, and multi-sensor data fusion.

Europe EMEA AI & Analytics in Military and Defense Market generated USD 3.02 billion in 2024, supported by strong adoption of AI-driven defense modernization programs, NATO-backed digitalization initiatives, and substantial defense budgets across Germany, France, Italy, and the UK. Countries such as Germany are leading with large-scale investments in AI-driven command systems, autonomous surveillance networks, and cyber defense capabilities. The region’s strategic emphasis on interoperability, data-sharing frameworks, and multi-domain coordination is accelerating the integration of advanced analytics into core defense infrastructure.

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.
