Global Airborne Weapon Delivery Systems Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies BAE Systems, Boeing, Elbit Systems, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin as the key vendors in the global airborne weapon delivery systems market. This industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by application (fixed-wing fighter aircraft and rotary wing and UCAV) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global airborne weapon delivery systems market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global airborne weapon delivery systems market will grow steadily at a CAGR of over 8% by 2021. It has been observed that the unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAVs) are becoming a low-cost alternative to conventional airborne attack platforms and according to this market research and analysis this will be one of the primary growth factors for this market. Military agencies and missile suppliers are investing in enhancing the capabilities of small bombs that are fired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to the changing conventional approaches for carrying out air-to-surface missile attacks. The development of small missiles that is supported by the miniaturization of guidance technology will encourage military agencies to invest in the procurement of such missiles, subsequently fueling the growth of the airborne weapon delivery systems market.

One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the airborne weapon delivery systems market in the coming years is the development of miniaturized UAVs. Technology providers are emphasizing on designing miniaturized electro-optic/infrared imaging (EO/IR) systems that can be fitted with small UAVs and are capable of dissipating sufficient heat without compromising the performance of a miniaturized UAV.  This will induce vendors to encourage the production of EO/IR systems within the defense sector as the sensor suits that are used in thermal imaging cameras will enhance target detection and surveillance capabilities of miniaturized UAVs.

Segmentation by application and analysis of the airborne weapon delivery systems market

• Fixed-wing fighter aircraft
• Rotary wing and UCAV

With the countries across the globe focusing on minimizing the number of troop casualties in high-risk missions and conduct unmanned attacks in enemy territories, there is an increase in the deployment of rotary wing and UCAV. The UCAV is equipped with synthetic aperture radar, forward-looking infrared cameras, laser designator, and electronic countermeasure systems and transmits data through a secured communication link.  It can also receive commands, controls, and mission planning-related data from the mobile ground control system.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the airborne weapon delivery systems market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

European countries including Egypt, France, Germany, and the UK have developed and procured several attack aerial platforms to ensure efficient action during emergency situations. This will help them have greater control of these situations and improve combat readiness in times of crisis. Owing to the initiation of a number of anti-extremist missions, the demand for airborne weapons and their delivery systems is likely to increase in this region during the next few years. This market study estimates that EMEA will be the major revenue contributor to the airborne weapon delivery systems market by 2021.
