Global Airborne Surveillance Market Outlook 2018-2023 by Type, Product Type, Application and Geography - Growing Demand for UAVs in Commercial Applications

DUBLIN, July 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Airborne Surveillance Market by Type (LiDAR, Radar, Imaging System), Product Type (Manned, Unmanned), Application (Military, Defense & Security, Commercial (Surveying & Mapping, Inspection, & Monitoring)), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The airborne surveillance market is expected to be valued at USD 4.42 Billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 5.81 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period. The growth of this market can be attributed to the availability of low-cost UAVs, the growing use of UAVs in commercial applications, amendments in laws, and rapid technological advancements.

This report segments the airborne surveillance market based on type, product type, application, and region. The airborne surveillance market, on the basis of type, has been segmented into LiDAR, radar, and imaging systems. Radar systems are expected to dominate the airborne surveillance market. This is mainly because of the growing adoption of radar systems for airborne surveillance in military, defense, and security applications for various platforms such as fixed-wing and rotary-wing, manned and unmanned aircraft, and small tactical UAVs (STUAVs).

The airborne surveillance market has been segmented, on the basis of product type, into manned system and unmanned system. The airborne surveillance market for unmanned system is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The growing use of unmanned systems has been observed in both military and commercial applications. Unmanned aerial vehicles have always relied on already developed aviation technologies to meet their relatively modest performance criteria. Today's UAVs employ the latest sensor and communication technologies to deliver a capability. Different military unmanned systems or vehicles include high-altitude long-endurance (HALE), medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE), tactical, strategic, and others. For military unmanned systems, major demand is derived from radar and imaging systems, while for commercial unmanned systems, major demand is derived from LiDAR and imaging systems. Drones are now being used with laser scanners, as well as other remote sensors, as a more economical method to scan smaller areas. Drones are now updated with LiDAR technology for a variety of applications such as agriculture, mining, surveying, forestry, and monitoring.

The airborne surveillance is broadly classified into two applications such as military, defense, and security; and commercial applications. Currently, military applications account for a major share of the airborne surveillance market, where the majority comprises radar and imaging systems. The airborne surveillance market for commercial applications is expected to grow rapidly because of the wide adoption of drones in various commercial applications such as surveying, mapping, infrastructure inspection and monitoring, agriculture, and others.

North America is expected to account for the largest share of the airborne surveillance market during the forecast period. The market in North America has been further segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico, and is dominated by manufacturers such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin (US), Raytheon (US), and BAE Systems (US). Countries in North America, mainly the US, have a huge defense budget as compared to Europe or APAC, thus leading to the increasing demand for airborne surveillance systems in North America. The US is expected to be the major contributor to the airborne surveillance market in North America.

The presence of major players in the US is expected to drive the airborne surveillance market growth in this region. Also, the relaxation in regulations in Mexico has led to the increase in research and development for drones and UAVs in the country. Owing to the amendments by the FAA and the US government, it has raised an interest for the companies to invest in drones and UAVs in the US. The production of UAVs is expected to increase in the next few years, as amendments in rules allowed the commercial use of drones in 2016. Since August 2016, the FAA has approved more than 300 waivers for the use of drones in many places/locations.

Major players in this market include Airbus (France), Boeing (US), Saab (Sweden), BAE Systems (UK), Raytheon (US), Lockheed Martin (US), Leonardo (Italy), FLIR Systems (US), Northrop Grumman (US), L-3 Wescam (Canada), Leica Geosystems (Switzerland), Teledyne Technologies (US), Safran (France), Thales (France), and Israel Aerospace Industries (Israel).
