Research analysis on the global defense satellite-based navigation systems market identifies that the increasing development and launches of satellites will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The increasing dependence on the US' Navstar, which is a network of satellites that provide GPS navigation services for military and civilians, has induced several countries to launch their own network of satellites in space. The Chinese military launched its first BeiDou satellite navigation system in 2000, which is currently operating 16 satellites that service the APAC. Such satellite launches will propel the usage of satellite-based navigation systems by the defense forces, which will subsequently drive market growth. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will generate a revenue of more than USD 1.6 billion by 2021.
The introduction of adaptive navigation system (ANS) will be one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the defense satellite-based navigation systems market. The use of ANS helps overcome major challenges including the need for improving IMUs that require fewer external position and alternate GPS sources for external position fixes. Additionally, it also exploits non-navigational electromagnetic signals such as commercial satellite and television and radio signals to provide additional points of reference for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT).
This market is highly competitive and has the presence of a few multinational and regional suppliers. The market is competitive and the vendors compete based on innovative technologies and are focusing on upgrading their existing models based on quality and reliability.
The leading vendors in the market are -
The other prominent vendors in the market are BAE Systems, Harris, Moog, Northrop Grumman, and KVH Industries.
During 2016, the airborne navigation systems segment accounted for the major shares of this market. The procurement of new military aircraft and the growing preference of the governments towards upgrading the older aircraft with newer navigation systems than building new aircraft, will drive the growth prospects of the market in this segment.
This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the market by 2021. Countries in the region have the need to upgrade the aging fleet of military vehicles and subsystems with new navigation systems that can provide better geographical reach and enhance performance. The US Army has signed a contract worth USD 1.5 million with KVH Industries to supply tactical navigation systems for armored vehicles. Similarly, the US Air Force has also entered a navigation system contract with Raytheon to upgrade the miniature air launched decoy-jammer.
