Global Sensor-based Gun Systems Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global sensor-based gun systems market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global sensor-based gun systems market to grow at a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period. To strengthen the land border security potential, several countries across the globe including the US, India, South Korea, and Israel are making extensive investments in the development and procurement of advanced solutions such as sensor-based systems and weapons, which helps them intelligently track and neutralize unauthorized intrusions. The growing incidences of cross-border terrorism and illicit trafficking of weapons has prompted the defense agencies to make investments in homeland security and ensure control over cross-border infiltration. By the end of 2016, the Indian Army will install the first batch of automatic sensor-based guns along with the border fences. These systems can detect and neutralize unlawful trafficking autonomously. With increasing efforts on ensuring enhanced border protection system, the market for the sensor-based gun system is likely to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.

According to our sensor-based gun systems industry analysis, there has been an increasing inclination among security agencies to incorporate their law enforcement personnel with advanced military grade arms and ammunition to ensure enhanced homeland security. Owing to such requirements, manufacturers are developing smart guns that cannot be used by anyone without the authorized personnel. Yardarm Technologies has come up with an Internet-connected gun, which employs sensors that send alerts to the police station as and when the gun is taken out of the holster. The gun not only tracks locations but also collects and distributes important information pertaining to the concerned agencies.

Segmentation by product type and analysis of the sensor-based gun systems market

• Sensor-based man-portable guns
• Sensor-based turret guns

Sensor-based turret guns or sentry gun systems occupied majority share in the market during 2015.  These guns are operated from a location that enables protection and improved visibility to the personnel, which has increased their preference among the defense forces. The use of sensors in these gun systems allows the replacement of human counterparts in demilitarized areas, as these can independently aim and fire at targets. Owing to the growing concern for securing international borders, many countries are developing innovative unmanned systems, which will increase the procurement of such sensor-based turret guns during the forecast period.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the sensor-based gun systems market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

EMEA dominated the market during 2015 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. The constantly increasing terrorist activities in the Middle East has propelled several European countries to secure their international borders to counter illegal civilian migrations. The use of sensor-based turret guns is anticipated to play a significant role in improving the deterrence potential of the joint forces in the region. Also, with many countries tightening their border protection, the use of sensor-based turret guns will increase drastically over the forecast period.
