Global Military Aircraft Avionics Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global military aircraft avionics market

The global military aircraft avionics market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of more than 3% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for the installation of SVS (synthetic vision system) in aircraft will drive the growth prospects for the global military aircraft avionics market during the forecast period. SVS in aircraft is used to overcome the issues associated with limited outside visibility for the pilot. Prior the development of SVS, a number of imaging sensors have been used to enhance the visibility for the pilot. These sensors consisted of both active or passive sensors that were used to penetrate weather phenomena such as fog, darkness, rain, haze, and snow. Generally, under foggy weather conditions and heavy precipitation, the infrared sensors and high-frequency radars do not perform properly. As a result, SVS were developed as it helped the pilots to fly safer with increased positional awareness regardless of the weather conditions. The various elements of SVS include enhanced intuitive view, hazard detection and display, integrity monitoring and alerting, and precision navigation guidance.

The increasing research work in green avionics will further drive the prospects for market growth during the estimated period. It includes research on lead-free products that vendors of the global military aircraft avionics market will have to switch to in the near future. Lead products are highly toxic in nature and are used for coating and soldering of the electronic components in an aircraft. To replace the use of toxic lead materials, lead-free products must be developed even though their production is expensive.

Segmentation by application and analysis of the military aircraft avionics market

• Monitoring systems
• Flight control systems
• Communication and navigation systems

Flight control systems segment accounts for the maximum market share during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. Automatic flight control systems (AFCSs) are equipped with sensors that monitor internal conditions (engine controls, total load, and flight speed) as well as external conditions (airspeed, altitude, and navigational information) of a helicopter. They assist in efficient and safer landing operations and prevent any unauthorized pilot or potential hijacker from controlling the aircraft.

Segmentation by geography and analysis of the military aircraft avionics market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

In terms of geography, the Americas is the largest market for military avionics during 2016 and will continue its market dominance until the end of 2020. The US Department of Defense has been investing large sums of money to modernize and upgrade its fleet of military aircraft with modern aircraft systems and components. New fighter jets are being developed by the government of the US in collaboration with few other countries in this region.
