The 2025 edition of this Strategy Playbooks report analyses the overall Strategy Focus and provides insights into the Key Strategies & Plans being pursued by the World's Top 5 Aerospace & Defense Companies for the near to medium term horizon amid a complex, difficult & challenging global macroeconomic environment marked by surging defense spending globally which grew by 7+% year-on-year and almost touched the $2.5 trillion level in 2024 amid rising geopolitical tensions & conflicts, looming uncertainty over a transactional approach to U.S. foreign policy alienating traditional allies and renewed trade wars under Trump Administration 2.0

The report provides a comprehensive analysis into the Strategy Playbooks of the World's Top 5 A&D Companies featuring detailed insights into the overarching, near-to-medium term strategy focus and key strategies & plans being crafted by the companies to adroitly navigate the emerging market landscape and effectively capitalize upon tailwind and windfall, in terms, of growth opportunities.

The report provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis on the industry as well as the companies, ranging from defense budgetary analysis to covering all major existing & upcoming defense programs and market developments. An insightful & comprehensive SWOT framework analysis is also included on the OEMs; providing a comprehensive scan, assessment & analysis of the prevailing internal as well as external business environment of the company. The framework outlines the company's core, inherent strengths & weaknesses as part of the internal environment assessment and outlines potential growth opportunities as well as threats as part of the external environment assessment

The Global Aerospace & Defense industrial base, consequently, is in a major upswing phase as the dark shadow of geopolitical conflicts returns with the traditional, rule-based world order facing a serious challenge from the revisionist powers and traditional geopolitical fault lines experiencing renewed tectonic friction and triggering the outbreak of armed conflicts across the Middle East and Europe. Consequently, it has led to soaring global demand for missiles, missile defenses & interceptors, drones, fighter jets, armor, rotorcrafts and ammunition.

The resurgence of Russia as Europe's regional hector and China's military ascendancy as the regional bully in the Asia-Pacific, along with the Gordian knot of a nuclear-armed North Korea and almost-nuclear Iran; collectively poses a serious challenge to the U.S.-led traditional world order while also threatening European and APAC-based allies as Trump's return to White House and transactional approach to foreign policy has caused visible fissures among traditional allies in the West translating into a clear, significant and anticipated geopolitical advantage for Putin who is effectively holding the Trump card.

The latest geopolitical developments have led to massive efforts being undertaken across most regions globally to revitalize defense industrial bases and to ramp-up production rates for core defense systems and for rapid upgrade, modernization and recapitalization of in-service, Cold War-era legacy defense systems with the initiation of joint FCAS, GCAP and MGCS programs across Europe being prime examples. China's aggressive deployment of 5th generation J-20 jets, active development of J-36 & J-XX/J-50 6th generation fighter jet platforms and H-20 long-range bomber present the most formidable challenge to American air power, aerial dominance & unchallenged overmatch in the 21st century. The response from the U.S. defense industrial base, in form, of the development of B-21 Raider LRSB, NGAD, featuring adaptive cycle engines, and Future Vertical Lift (FVL) programs packs a real & credible punch

The report also identifies key driving & restraining forces for the industry & assesses their potential degree of impact through a force field analysis.
