Internet of military things: Leading technology trends revealed

GlobalData has identified ten key technology trends that will impact the IoMT theme over the next 12 to 24 months. The Internet of Things (IoT) in the defence industry, also known as the Internet of Military Things (IoMT) or Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT), is in its early stages. GlobalData forecasts that leading companies in C4ISR, cybersecurity, autonomy, and other related fields, such as Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Thales, BAE Systems, L3 Harris Technologies, Leonardo DRS, and Airbus, will be part of the IoMT revolution. Below are some of the key technology trends impacting the IoMT theme over the next 12 to 24 months, as identified by GlobalData. AI is a key element for the optimal use of IoMT, as it allows for more efficient analysis of the vast amounts of data that flow at a high rate from an increasingly large number of edge devices.
