Global Military Submarine Photonics Mast and Antenna Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global military submarine photonics mast and antenna market

Research analysis on the global military submarine photonics mast and antenna market identifies that the rise in submarine component upgrade programs will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 6% by 2021. Submarines are manufactured with an average service life of 40 years which will cause their components such as hydraulic systems, propulsion systems, batteries, and electronics to witness increased wear and tear over time. In order to maintain good performance levels and lower risks, there is the need to replace these components when required. Moreover, governments around the world are coming up with numerous upgrade programs to keep track of the submarines and modernize the current components of a submarine with new components. For instance, three of Pakistan Navy's Agosta 90B submarines were equipped with SERO 250 periscope and OMS 200 optronic mast by Airbus DS Optronics in 2016. The company substituted the old search and attack periscopes with the latest search periscope and low profile optronic mast. These update programs are expected to generate a high demand for subsystems including photonic mast and antennas. 

The rising adoption of SWIR for photonics mast will be one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the military submarine photonics mast and antenna market. Submarines are required to capture high-quality images even in the harsh environmental conditions. To get clear pictures, SWIR systems are being equipped in photonics masts due to their improved imaging abilities. Since the longer wavelengths of SWIR systems can easily pierce through such environments, they are more effective than the visible imagers. Additionally, the SWIR systems can also be used as additional sensors for greater resolution and to keep an eye on human targets using long-range optics.
