Press Release Body = Palo Alto, Calif. -- November 14, 2005 -- Despite technological challenges, airborne command and control customers demand net-centric technologies in order to exploit growing information availability. Networked C2 platforms shorten
the decision cycle and decrease manpower requirements on the battlefield.

Developing command and control systems that are reliable, secure, accessible, and fast poses a significant challenge. In order to succeed, companies need to offer products that enable easy and convenient networking of weapons systems in a secure, integrated and wireless information web.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (www.defense.frost.com), North American Airborne Command and Control Market, reveals that the Airborne C2 Industry earned revenue of $4,562 million in 2004. It is estimated to reach $6,477 million in 2006.

A number of companies are bringing already proven technologies to the market. Internet Protocol based networks are quickly making in-roads to more traditional radio communications. Many companies have already demonstrated the power and adaptability of self-forming, self-healing, network technologies.

To ensure continued U.S. access to European markets, and to foster competitive pricing, policy makers in Washington are enacting policy changes that relax the rules for foreign competition.

“Traditionally, the lack of European competition in U.S. markets is a result of U.S. protection of its industrial base, export control regulations, and the small scale nature of the European defense complex,” observes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Darren A. Corbiere. “However, trends indicate shifts that are creating serious
challenges to U.S. contractors.”

“To ensure success, companies of all sizes, especially smaller independent firms that are looking to enter into this market might want to consider partnering with Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies,” says Corbiere. “Such relationships are crucial to long term and repeated contract opportunities.”
