Modern logistics systems such as the GCSS-Army are designed to assist units in anticipating, allocating, and synchronizing the flow of critical supplies to operating positions. It is one of the largest ERP systems with more than 160,000 users. These new systems automate cost management and improve financial visibility, as they integrate electronic financial and planning systems.”
According to the report, one of the main factors affecting the market positively is the need for modernization of the US military. It has become common practice for the US Army to boost the technology infrastructure by outsourcing certain functions to external suppliers. Many suppliers aid army bases worldwide by boosting communication systems and providing fiber-optic cables and secure wireless communications to these installations. A paradigm shift is emerging in the use of technology through the adoption of IP-based multimedia communication systems as opposed to circuit switch voice technology.
Further, the report states that a major challenge is the burden on the national exchequer, which has to fund military operations. The US is engaged in many military operations around the world. This has affected its national economy and has forced it to cut its military spending. Protests by activists, political establishments, and the general population have forced the US government to make cuts in the budget allocated for the armed forces.
