This industry research report presents a detailed analysis of the key trends and drivers that influence market growth. It also segments the global counter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) defense system market by application (civil and military) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA). The key leading vendors analyzed in this market research are Airbus Defense and Space, Blighter Surveillance Systems, Finmeccanica, SRC, and Thales Group.
Technavio’s market research analysts estimate the global counter UAV defense system market, to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2016 and 2020. Counter UAV defense system is a combination of radars, infrared cameras, and navigators that recognize drones and limit their risk capabilities. UAVs, especially multi rotors, are gaining popularity in the commercial market. The Americas is the highest revenue-contributing region in the global counter UAV defense system market. The acquisition of different unmanned systems will increase the implementation of counter UAV defense systems in the Americas during the forecast period.
The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the counter UAV segments by technology.
“One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the introduction of drone defender. Due to the recent increase in the number of unwanted drones hovering over the city, a new technology called the drone defender was developed by Battelle. Drone defenders do not destroy pirate drones but utilize pulses to disable them. The pulses projected by these defenders intervene with the communication signals of the pirate drone and forces them to break into protocols and return to the ground slowly. The commercialization of these defenders will foster the prospects for market growth until 2020,” says Abhay Singh, Lead Analyst, Aerospace & Defense, Technavio Research
The civil sector is expected to witness the highest adoption of counter UAV defense systems during the forecast period, and will account for an impressive market share of more than 55% by 2020. Recently, the use of civil UAVs for agriculture and farming, weather and disaster monitoring, oil and gas inspection, aerial photography and filming, scientific research and power, and utility industry surveys has increased globally. Since the usage of such systems across commercial industries poses threats of hacking by terrorists and anti-social elements, the need for counter UAV defense systems will increase significantly in this sector.
