The demand for military embedded systems capable of collecting, processing, and disseminating data in challenging environments drives market growth. Defense agencies worldwide are investing in the modernization of their armed forces to maintain strategic superiority and address emerging threats. This includes upgrading legacy systems with advanced embedded technologies to enhance mission effectiveness, survivability, and operational capabilities.
 

The proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and autonomous systems in military operations drives the demand for sophisticated embedded systems. These systems require robust processing, sensor fusion, navigation, and communication capabilities to operate autonomously and effectively execute missions in complex environments. For instance, in January 2023, GET Engineering, announce the launch of its latest Compact Embedded System for both military and industrial uses, that are complaint with MIL STD 704 F, MIL STD 1275 D power, & MIL-STD 461 EMI filters. The system design is unique to the company, that allows for mixing & matching protocols, will also functionality in the complex systems.
 

With the increasing connectivity and integration of embedded systems into networked environments, there is a heightened risk of cyber-attacks. Vulnerabilities in embedded systems could be exploited by adversaries to gain unauthorized access, disrupt operations, or compromise sensitive data, posing significant security risks to military assets and personnel. The reliance on global supply chains for components and subsystems in embedded systems introduces vulnerabilities related to the security and integrity of the supply chain. Malicious actors may target the supply chain to insert counterfeit or compromised components, leading to potential security breaches or system malfunctions within military embedded systems.
