According to
the study “Global
Military UAV Market 2018-2028”, advanced technology is implemented in
manufacture of military UAV’s for various combat missions that are too
challenging for a manned aircraft. The introduction of microelectronics
components in UAV’s is an added advantage and vendors offer modern tactical
UAVs that are smaller and lighter which drives the growth in military UAV
market. Miniaturized UAVs are adopted in surveillance applications and
manufacturers are focussed on developing cost-efficient equipment which
enhances the operational capability of small UAVs. With the advent of advanced
technology in materials science, composite-based materials are used in the
manufacture of lightweight UAV. It was estimated that UAVs will soon replace
combat planes and helicopters in the military sector.
Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles are known as UAV which are battery powered aerial vehicles or
drones operated without the presence of pilot. UAV is used in military
intelligence, commercial, recreational, scientific, surveillance, and
agricultural applications. UAVs assist in the rapid deployment of troops and
high mobility military operations in battlefields. The adoption of UAV’s has
increased drastically that has led to the development of low-cost alternatives.
Unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) is one such development that is used to fire
small bombs that are significantly less expensive than the large air-to-surface
missiles. Small bombs are more flexible and allow commanders to use them on
soft targets like hostile ground troops or unarmored military trucks.
Therefore, UCAVs are used extensively by the military agencies and missiles
suppliers are investing in small bombs that are more effective during a combat.
Alternative energy-powered UAVs are the latest equipment used globally.
Manufactures are experimenting with alternative fuel cell technologies to reduce
the dependence on fossils fuels.
The global unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) market is geographically spread across Americas, APAC, and EMEA. The
leading players in the global unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market are Israel
Aerospace Industries, EMT Ingenieurgesellschaft, AAI Corporation, BlueBird Aero
Systems, Singapore Technologies Aerospace, Airbus, Boeing, General Atomics
Aeronautical Systems Inc., AeroVironment, Aeronautics Ltd., Elbit Systems Ltd.,
Northrop Grumman Corporation, Dassault Aviation SA., Sunbirds, Denel Dynamics,
Korea Aerospace Industries, BAE Systems and Saab. Global UAV market is highly
competitive due to many prominent players. The entry of new players is
restricted in the military UAV market due to uncompromising safety and
regulatory policies and requirements.
Sunbirds is
one of the global leading manufacturer of UAV’s and has launched a
solar-powered UAV that is embedded with a primary sensor or camera with thermal
imaging property which is useful in military. Solar powered UAVs are adopted by
militaries, defense agencies, paramilitary forces, and other national security
agencies for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions
because they can perform activities beyond the scope of human ability. Global
military sector industry accounts for a large quantity of CO2
emissions during military operations that have led to the development of
innovative solar energy-based UAVs. The concern over depletion of fossil fuels
is directly related to climate change which is driving the need for solar
energy in various applications.
The need for
round-the-clock vigilant surveillance to detect incoming threats is driving the global military UAV’s market. New-age solar-powered UAVs are used to fight insurgencies and to provide ISR assistance. Globally, Americas
is the major revenue contributor in the military UAV market due to the
increased need for surveillance and security operations. This trend has
resulted in the deployment of long-endurance UAVs within all military forces. As per the global statistics, Americas account for a major share in the solar-powered
unmanned aerial vehicle market over the next few
years. Lightweight UAV’s consume less power compared to
the existing UAV avionics systems. The introduction of lightweight UAV’s is to
minimize the financial wastage involved during any destruction of the drones in
large numbers on various missions.
