Anti-Drone Market Trends


Rising military sector is boosting the market growth

The military sector is rapidly growing which attributes for a major share of the Market CAGR in 2022. This is due to the increased use of drones by adversaries and insurgent groups for spying and attacking military infrastructure across borders. Such incidents have necessitated the R&D of sophisticated C-UASs that can identify, track, and disable the drone and locate its operator simultaneously. To facilitate the R&D efforts a significant part of the defense budget is allocated toward such systems to facilitate R&D efforts. Also, several armed forces are focusing on enhancing their counter-drone capabilities. In this regard, during FY 2021, the Japanese MoD allocated a USD 20 million budget toward the R&D of C-UAS technology. 


The MoD made provisions worth USD 4.8 million to research microwaves that can be used in a C-UAV system. Likewise, with the growing threats to naval vessels, as of July 2021, the French Navy announced its plan to test the HELMA-P laser effector, the anti-drone system developed by CILAS for naval vessels. The Navy plans to begin an assessment for their use in the maritime environment in 2022, and following the assessment, the armed force will test then onboard surface vessels in the coming years. Such developments are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.


Additionally, The increased use of these unauthorized flying test devices in the backyard and windows has increased threats to national security worldwide. These aircraft systems have a variety of sensors that can record video and audio regardless of time and place. To combat them, manufacturers are increasingly developing new UAV reduction technology limiting drones in aviation. Governments and companies worldwide increasingly invest in developing and marketing counter-drone technology to address such threats. Manufacturers incorporate different types of techniques for drone detection into their anti-drone systems to improve their overall performance, which drives the Anti-Drone market revenue.


Anti-Drone Market Segment Insights


Anti-Drone by Application Insights

Based on application, the Anti-Drone market segmentation includes detection radar, EO/IR, acoustic, and others. The detection radar segment dominated the market, due to the unauthorized; drones can be neutralized with the help of this machine after the detection, classification, and identification of the particular device. The defense forces mainly use these machines and technologies, which help them, provide maximum security against the unauthorized entry of drones in restricted areas and bases. The potential attacks can be avoided with the help of these systems as it monitors the entry and exit of every drone spotted on the premises.


Anti-Drone Interdiction Insights
