Global military aircraft avionics market by flight control systems
In 2016, flight control systems accounted for around 44% in the global military aircraft avionics market. The introduction of automatic flight control systems (AFCSs) has improved stability and handling of aircraft as well as has enabled automation of flight in certain chapters of missions, thereby reducing the workload of the crew. They are equipped with sensors that monitor internal conditions like engine controls, total load, and flight speed as well as external conditions such as airspeed, altitude, and navigational information of a helicopter. The autopilot system enables functions such as point-to-point navigation and automatic tracking of the instrument landing system, which help in efficient and safer landing operations. Artificial feel system controls most of the operations of AFCSs and prevent any unauthorized pilot or potential hijacker from controlling an aircraft.
“AFCSs of aircraft are driving the market with their wide range of safety and reliable features. At present, an extensive range of systems such as systems on stability augmentation, visual flight rules, and autopilot are combined into one AFCS. Moreover, systems such as digital flight guidance system and digital flight control system are also used in aircraft AFCS. Significant investments are made to upgrade flight control systems with advanced technologies,” says Moutushi Saha, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on defense.
Global military aircraft avionics market by communication and navigation systems
Aircraft are fitted with systems to confirm communication between the ground base and the aircraft using radio systems which consist of radio transmitters and radio receivers. Currently, satellite communication (SATCOM) systems are also being incorporated for clearer and reliable communications. SATCOM link is a kind of long-distance communications link, which interconnect communications centers located strategically across the world and is a part of the defense satellite communication system and fleet satellite communications system. In telemetry, SATCOM data links assist in uploading real-time weather data from any remote operation area of the world. They are also used for long-range cross-continent telemetry applications. Navigation systems in aircraft have been dynamic in nature and are continuously evolving from time to time to advanced systems.
Global military aircraft avionics market by monitoring systems
Avionic systems provide cockpit displays by providing flight route pictures and flight instrument data. These displays provide situation information such as speed, position, altitude, vertical rate, GPS active waypoint. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been at the forefront of the Synthetic Visualization Studio research program which aims at converting NASA’s numeric data of earth and space research into a dynamic graphical tool which is later passed on to nations, benefiting them in their operations. Various major vendors are developing new and improved range of SVS products for diverse aircraft.
The top leading vendors operating in the global military aircraft avionics market are:
- Avidyne
- GE
- Honeywell Aerospace
- Rockwell Collins
- Thales
Other prominent vendors in the market include Aspen Avionics, Curtiss-Wright, Elbit Systems, ENSCO Avionics, ForeFlight, Hilton Software, L-3 Avionic systems, Sagetech, and Xavion.
