Missile Defense – Value Chain Analysis
The key components of the missile defense value chain are BMS, C2, and support systems, missiles & interceptors, radars & sensor systems, and directed energy & hypersonics. Certain segments of the missile defense value chain such as radars & sensor systems or missiles & interceptors are better established within the global defense market and consequently more accessible than emerging areas such as directed energy weapons and hypersonic technologies development.
BMS, C2, and Support Systems: The BMS, C2, and support systems value chain is predominantly populated by major defense primes with broad expertise in the C4ISR systems market, with the increasing digitization of the modern battlefield driving demand for enhanced interoperability and connectivity between different capabilities, systems, and domains. The BMS market is currently dominated by primes supporting long-running BMS programs, such as Lockheed Martin with the Command, Control Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system or Northrop Grumman’s work on the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS).
