The global military artificial intelligence market is projected to more than double in the coming years, reaching $29 billion by 2030. This data comes from a new analytical report by research firm Grand View Research, which was published on June 27, 2025, and distributed via the GlobeNewswire service. According to the study, the market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2024. The strong and steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is driven by a combination of factors, chief among them being rising geopolitical tensions worldwide, large-scale military modernization programs by leading global powers, and rapid technological breakthroughs in artificial intelligence itself, making its application in defense increasingly effective. The report states that investments are being actively directed into several key segments. The main market growth drivers are identified as the development and deployment of autonomous systems (including drones, ground, and naval robotic platforms), intelligent platforms for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), the application of AI in cybersecurity systems, and intelligent decision support systems in command and control. Artificial intelligence is penetrating deeper into all aspects of military technology, from predictive maintenance of equipment to guidance systems and autonomous target recognition. This forecast quantitatively confirms the global trend towards a new arms race, which is increasingly unfolding not in the quantity of traditional hardware, but in the realm of technological superiority, where AI plays a decisive role.
