Global Ballistic Targeting System Software Market 2016-2020

Outlook of the global ballistic targeting system software market

The ballistic targeting software (BTS) is extensively utilized by professional shooters, hunters, and military services, and is used for the training of all types of shooters, including hunters, snipers, and target shooters. Though the market for BTS software is small, it is anticipated to grow steadily over the forecast period. Factors such as the ability of BTS to augment the firearm performance will result in its augmented adoption during the predicted period. With the help of BTS software, a user can compare the bullet trajectory and other parameters and make an informed shot. The ability of this software to predict the accuracy and trajectory of the shot, even in the case of a moving target, will lead to the steady growth of this market. Technavio’s market research analyst has estimated this market to grow at a CAGR of over 4% by 2020.

The integration of Bluetooth and wireless technology will be the key driver for this market. Precision shooting depends on several factors like wind direction, wind speed, and muzzle velocity. It also involves the use of several devices like the weather tracker and the rangefinder. In the BTS software, these factors have to be entered manually. However, with the integration of the Bluetooth technology, weather data from weather trackers and range information from rangefinder can be shared to a remote personal digital assistant (PDA) with GPS capability.
