C4ISR (pronounced “sē - fôr - ī - es - är”) plays a key role in the military defense and operational stability of governments, businesses, and societies worldwide today, and indications are that it will only become more important moving forward, given its growing role in how decisions are made, threats are addressed, and agreements are enforced. The world’s nations are in a race for C4ISR superiority – a significant national advantage – and the ability to lead through innovation could determine who wins.
