U.S. DoD 2011 Budget
Frost & Sullivan, March 2010, Pages: 60
This research service is an outline of the United States Department of Defense 2011 Budget plan. The study summarizes DoD research, operations, procurement and services spending. A forecast of future DoD spending is included. The base year for the financial spending is 2009, and the market forecasts is from 2010-2015. The intent of this study is to indicate which segments of products and services spending the DoD is emphasizing, so firms can invest in these areas of growth. Market drivers and restraints, success factors for operating in the defense market, industry challenges, and the relative attractiveness of various sectors is also included.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled U.S. DoD 2011 Budget provides end-user overviews, industry challenges, and types of services required. It also analyzes military component services and offers a competitive overview of the major market participants. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following platforms: domestic bases, foreign bases, R&D facilities, ground equipment, communications infrastructure, manned aircraft, missile defense, computers and software, surface ships, spacecraft, submarines, and unmanned vehicles and sensors. The technologies analyzed include satellite communications, software-defined radio, ruggedized computers, analysis and reporting software tools, radars, and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR).
Market Overview
DoD Spending to Remain Stable with Expanding Ground Forces Supplies, Services, and Technologies Compensating for the Slimmer Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation Programs
Despite the cuts in research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) programs for immature technologies that do not have direct relevance to the existing ground forces operations, the U.S. defense budget has remained stable. While sectors such as space-based assets have had to make do with reduced funds, other areas including medical services, armored ground vehicles, and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) are expanding, thereby improving the overall defense spending. The Department of Defense (DoD)’s spending is also likely to get a boost with the continuing combat operations, nation building exercises, and beefing up of the Army, Marines, and special operations forces (SOF). In addition, worn-out equipment, expanded ground force tables of organization/equipment (TO/TE), and renewed emphasis on building foreign partnerships encourage DoD spending.
“Medical, logistic, and administrative services, ground vehicles, unmanned vehicles, missile defense, and C4ISR assets are the most attractive segments for the U.S. DoD till 2015,” says the analyst of this research. “They offer the best combination of program funding and market accessibility by partnering with the large primes.” While equipment acquisition and services are likely to receive top priority, the DoD is expected to reduce its air and naval platforms. Further, the operational borders between the DoD and other Federal Agency assets and missions are likely to blur. The increasing use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems in all segments and the increasing presence of European and Asia Pacific competitors could go a long way in prompting the U.S. Government to allocate higher funds to the DoD.
Equipment of all types in the U.S. DoD need to be reset, upgraded, or replaced. For instance, the Army alone intends to buy nearly 40,000 trucks by 2013, creating a plethora of opportunities for suppliers. Companies involved with engineering, maintenance, repair, and sustainment services of all types are likely to experience a windfall. “Continued emphasis on irregular warfare will require many more contractors and trainers with language and cultural expertise,” notes the analyst. “Commercially mature social networking, web search, as well as analysis and dissemination tools will experience higher demand.”
