The research analyst predicts the global defense
drones market to grow at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period. A defense
drone or UAV is an airplane without a pilot on board. Human pilots on the ground
control these machines through satellite-powered remote controls, or
autonomously through onboard computers. These drones are an essential tool for
modern defense forces because of their endurance and versatility, which makes
them suitable for intelligence gathering and support roles for military
operations. Drones can also be engineered to operate autonomously with onboard
instruments with different functionalities, which are controlled and directed
by instructors or an analyst operating out of a remote location in real time.
The global defense industry is driven by massive
investments in R&D, leading to the development of advanced technologies
that enhance endurance, survivability, and functions of UAVs or drones. For
instance, during 2015, the Ministry of Defense, India, announced its plans to
collaborate with Lockheed Martin to develop rotary engine-powered UAVs. The
rising competition between countries to possess modern and advanced weapons and
technologies in the defense sector is expected to drive the growth of the
defense drones market.
Product
segmentation and analysis of defense drones market
- Large defense drones
- Small defense drones
The large defense drones segment dominated the market
