The article examines the current state of the global military avionics market for 2020–2025 and analyzes the positions of leading companies by defense revenue. Key factors for the growth of the military avionics market have been identified. The current state of key military avionics technologies has been assessed, considering its rapid development and integration of advanced solutions from various industries. Programs to modernize domestic military avionics and to expand defense budgets have been analyzed. Innovations in military avionics, aimed at increasing autonomy, integration, network-centricity, and situational awareness, have been systematized to enhance the combat effectiveness of aircraft. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the military avionics market and, on this basis, identify directions for modernizing military equipment. The main challenges for the development of the military avionics market include: the consequences of the war, limited funding, technological lag, and integration with NATO standard weapons. The destruction of production facilities, the relocation of enterprises, and the loss of personnel create significant obstacles to stable operations. The development of new avionics systems requires significant and long-term investments. Promising key products and systems are: navigation systems (integrated satellite and inertial systems that provide accurate determination of the aircraft’s location even in conditions of GPS signal suppression); on-board computers and displays (development of Glass Cockpit elements); electronic warfare systems (radar radiation warning stations, active and passive jamming systems, missile defense systems with infrared homing heads); weapons control systems (digital systems that allow integrating modern high-precision weapons, in particular Ukrainian-made, into the aircraft arsenal).

Keywords: military avionics, defense revenue, key technologies, defense budget, cybersecurity.
