The defense industry requires technological advancements to ensure successful combat operations which will propel the unnamed sea systems market growth. As contemporary military establishments become outdated, advanced means and methods of warfare will take over. Defense agencies are investing heavily to improve the combat and surveillance capabilities of their naval platforms, with a major trend being the adoption of smaller and lighter next-generation sensors that consume less energy. Vendors are focusing on improving sensor payload and communication capabilities, leading to increasing demand for upgrades and replacements.
Maritime security is crucial to international trade and political stability, and the protection of ports and critical infrastructure is necessary. Therefore, there is a growing need for maritime policing, including the use of unmanned sea systems that are highly beneficial for surveillance applications. These systems will be used for safeguarding maritime interests, countering piracy and international terrorism, combating illegal immigration and smuggling, and patrolling exclusive economic zones.
To address the growing maritime threats, naval agencies are developing and deploying multipurpose surface vessels. As a result, the global unmanned sea systems market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
Undersea warfare plays a significant role in the defense strategies of major countries. Stealth-submerged platforms, such as unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), are now the most viable means of intelligence gathering. The importance of maritime and undersea warfare is a crucial component of both current and future military operational plans. Extensive investments in research and development, coupled with the use of technology and high-fidelity training, have enhanced the stealth capabilities of undersea vehicles. This transition from traditional manned platforms to unmanned sea vehicles has revolutionized naval warfare. China is deploying advanced nuclear attack and ballistic missile submarines worldwide and developing nuclear ballistic missiles to neutralize enemy units. Similarly, in June 2020, the French Navy successfully test-launched an M51 SLBM from a Le Triomphant-class SSBN.
As countries focus more on undersea warfare strategies, they are increasingly prioritizing innovative and advanced lethal platforms that can provide a competitive advantage over adversaries during combat. These naval platforms work together with aerial and ground systems to enhance a country's overall defense capabilities. Therefore, growing investment in undersea warfare capabilities is expected to drive the growth of the global unmanned sea systems market during the forecast period.
Although an unmanned sea system offers various operational opportunities for naval forces, it also poses unique design challenges and operational restrictions. Several limitations related to speed, extended range, payload carrying capacity, and endurance can hinder the effectiveness of these systems. One of the significant challenges for underwater unmanned systems is communication distortion caused by water waves and obstacles like ocean debris, which can damage the systems. As a result, the real-time communication capabilities of these systems when submerged can significantly decrease, impacting mission effectiveness. To function effectively, these systems require various payloads, including sonar, sensors, cameras, and manipulators. Malfunctioning of any of these payloads can greatly impact the operational effectiveness of the entire system, which is challenging to address underwater.
In addition, the absence of an adequate power supply can cause these systems to fail to operate for an extended period. To address this challenge, vendors are working on improving the battery life of unmanned sea systems, which is a complex and technically challenging task. These challenges could potentially hinder the growth of the global unmanned sea systems market during the forecast period.
By Type
The market share growth of the UUVs segment will be significant during the forecast period. UUVs are the submerged platforms used by naval agencies for underwater mine detection and termination applications. UUVs are remotely operated by naval personnel, or they can be operated in autonomous mode without requiring any direct human input. Owing to the increasing investments in maritime warfare capabilities, the roles of UUVs are expected to change during the forecast period.

The UUVs segment was valued at USD 2,940.09 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. UUVs offer multiple advantages to naval agencies in a network-centric scenario, which include the extended reach of operations and discrete operational capabilities with minimal exposure to manned assets. The continuous developments in UUV technology have led to the ability to deploy multiple systems from a common platform, thus leading to an extended network of sensors that can provide critical data in a timely manner. As a result, the demand for UUVs across different naval organizations is increasing.

APAC is estimated to contribute 34% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
North America is a leading revenue-generating region in the global unmanned sea systems market, with the US and Canada as the leading countries. Increasing research and investments in the development of unmanned sea systems are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market in the region. Additionally, owing to the growing efforts toward the modernization of its naval combat capabilities, the US Department of Defense (DoD) is likely to procure a greater number of advanced unmanned sea systems for the US Navy. The US DoD is preparing to move billions of unmanned sea systems, including USVs and UUVs, to the shipbuilding program from its internal budget. To prepare the country to meet the challenges posed by the ever-increasing Chinese naval fleet, the US plans to deploy a 500-plus ship fleet, thus enhancing the abysmal readiness rate of the new 300-ship fleet. Owing to the increase in budget allocation, new funding, and changes in the fleet type, it is expected that the demand for unmanned sea systems will increase in the US during the forecast period.
