The Global Fire Control Systems market is estimated at USD 6.75 billion in 2026, projected to grow to USD 17.69 billion by 2036 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.11% over the forecast period 2026-2036.

The defense fire control systems market is a crucial segment of modern military technology, enabling precise targeting, coordination, and execution of weapon engagements across land, air, and naval platforms. Fire control systems integrate sensors, radar, computing units, and control mechanisms to ensure accurate detection, tracking, and neutralization of threats. They serve as the operational core of tanks, artillery, naval guns, missiles, and aircraft-mounted weapons, transforming raw data into actionable firing solutions. As defense operations evolve toward greater automation and precision, fire control systems play an increasingly vital role in enhancing lethality, reducing human error, and improving real-time responsiveness. Global defense modernization efforts are focusing on digitalized, modular, and interoperable fire control systems that can adapt to multiple combat environments. This market continues to expand as militaries seek enhanced accuracy, faster response times, and integrated battlefield awareness.
Technological innovation has significantly elevated the capability and performance of defense fire control systems. The integration of advanced sensors, electro-optical systems, and radar technologies enables improved target acquisition and tracking in complex environments. Artificial intelligence and machine learning enhance fire control algorithms, allowing predictive targeting and autonomous engagement in dynamic combat conditions. Digital signal processing and real-time data fusion combine inputs from multiple sensors to generate highly accurate firing solutions. Network-enabled fire control architectures allow seamless communication between different weapon platforms, ensuring coordinated strikes. Additionally, miniaturization and ruggedization of components enhance system reliability and mobility across platforms. Emerging technologies such as augmented reality interfaces, laser targeting, and precision-guided munitions are further redefining the accuracy and efficiency of modern fire control systems, transforming them into intelligent, adaptive components of network-centric warfare.
The growth of the defense fire control systems market is driven by the increasing demand for precision engagement and advanced target management capabilities in modern warfare. Rising emphasis on reducing collateral damage and enhancing first-shot accuracy fuels investment in sophisticated targeting technologies. Military modernization programs worldwide are prioritizing systems that can integrate with smart weapons, unmanned platforms, and real-time surveillance networks. The proliferation of asymmetric threats and high-speed aerial or missile targets necessitates fire control systems with advanced tracking and predictive capabilities. The shift toward multi-domain operations-integrating land, sea, air, and space assets-also requires interoperable fire control architectures. Furthermore, defense forces are investing in automation and artificial intelligence to reduce operator workload and improve decision-making speed. Collectively, these factors underscore the growing importance of intelligent fire control systems as enablers of precision and efficiency in modern defense strategies.
Regional trends in the defense fire control systems market reflect varying levels of defense modernization, threat perception, and technological capability. North America remains a leader in advanced fire control technologies, driven by strong defense R&D and extensive integration across next-generation weapon platforms. Europe is focusing on collaborative development of digital and modular systems that enhance interoperability within allied forces. The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly upgrading its defense infrastructure, emphasizing indigenous production and integration of advanced fire control solutions into armored and aerial systems. The Middle East is investing heavily in precision engagement capabilities to address regional security challenges, particularly in countering missile and drone threats. Latin American and African nations are gradually adopting upgraded systems through international partnerships and technology transfers. Across all regions, the trend is toward integrated, networked, and sensor-driven fire control systems that enhance accuracy, speed, and situational awareness in complex combat environments.
Leonardo DRS, Inc. has secured a firm fixed-price IDIQ contract valued at over $99 million to supply the U.S. Army with next-generation Mortar Fire Control Systems (MFCS). As part of the agreement, the company will manage the production and delivery of fire control systems, along with fielding services to support the Army's mortar Weapons and Fire Control programs. The MFCS enhances the Army's existing mortar fire control capabilities by integrating operations with the digital battlefield. The system combines a precise weapon pointing device, an inertial navigation and positioning system, and digital communication features within a rugged fire control computer. This enables mortar crews to exchange digital call-for-fire messages, determine weapon orientation and location, and compute ballistic solutions with improved responsiveness and accuracy.
