The large size of the sector means that companies break it up into different areas such military aircraft or armored vehicles or even further such as aircraft radar systems or vehicle camouflage gear to identify and quantify the micro factors that drive the overall industry. This makes it easy for interested people to get an in-depth look into the market and form ideas and opinions based on the reports culled from the data.
