Cloud is used across the ADS sector
Cloud encompasses the provision of IT infrastructure, operating systems, middleware, and applications hosted within a data center and accessed by the end-user via the internet. Documents and data stored on the cloud can be accessed more easily than traditional server storage, improving maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), environmental, social, and governance (ESG) monitoring, and some aspects of security. According to the analyst, the total cloud computing market will be worth $1.8 trillion in 2029, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3% from $786 billion in 2024.
Cloud will be key for coping with the data deluge
Cloud computing has transformed the way that companies operating in the aerospace, defense, and security (ADS) sector consume IT resources. This technology has enabled shared IT infrastructure and services, which create a flexible, scalable, and on-demand IT environment. In a world where companies operating in the ADS sector must deliver actionable insights from a rapidly growing volume of data, ready access to information has become a competitive advantage. Simply maintaining old IT architectures risks companies and militaries being outmaneuvered by their opposition due to slow response times.
However, despite the benefits of cloud, concerns over security and legacy systems have slowed its adoption and created data siloes, significantly undermining interoperability between business units, suppliers, and military domains. If it is to respond quickly to market disruption and emerging geopolitical threats, the ADS sector must dismantle its data siloes while maintaining the security of its systems.
Cloud enables adjacent technologies
Cloud computing provides scalable infrastructure for handling Big Data volumes, velocities, and varieties, while offering on-demand computational power and scalable storage for AI and machine learning. In IoT and edge computing, the cloud acts as a central platform for ingesting and processing device data, while complementing edge computing by managing devices and aggregating data for deeper analysis. For the aerospace, defense, and security sector, these technologies mesh together to improve situational awareness while providing flexible platforms for prototyping AI and autonomous systems.
