The report, from Allied Market Research, predicts that the global digital battlefield industry will grow from $38 billion in 2021 to $156.8 billion by 2031 for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%.
"Increase in adoption of 5G network for high-speed data collection, rapid developments in robotics technologies, big data analytics and artificial intelligence, and strong budget for military and defense drive the growth of the global digital battlefield market," the report states.
