Military Drone Market

Market Leader - Military Drone Market

The military drone market is projected to grow from USD 12.0 billion in 2022 to USD 17.0 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2027.

Drones are remotely piloted aerial vehicles that have various applications in the defense sector. These vehicles are used in several military applications, such as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition (ISRT); combat operations; and battle damage management. The use of drones in new applications, such as cargo delivery in the defense sector, is expected to drive the growth of the military drone market globally. These drones can be used for resupply missions for soldiers on battlefields. Drones are commonly termed UAVs and are mostly known for their widespread use in various military missions, such as military attacks and border surveillance.

Military drones are guided autonomously, by remote control, or by both means, and carry some combination of sensors, electronic receivers and transmitters, and offensive ordnance. Utilized for strategic and combat zone reconnaissance, they can also intervene on the front lines — either by designating targets for precision-guided munitions dropped or fired from manned systems, or directly, by dropping or firing these munitions themselves. The earliest UAVs were known as remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) or drones. They were small radio-controlled aircraft first used during World War II for target training for fighters and antiaircraft guns. Today, all major military powers and even some militia groups employ battlefield surveillance UAVs to extend the view of the ground and naval forces and to enhance the reach and accuracy of their supporting fire.

Continuous technological advancements have not only reduced the cost of materials but also resulted in the miniaturization of components used to develop new and advanced drones capable of repeatedly flying for more extended periods. These drones have improved flight control systems using advanced software. However, the lack of proper air traffic management for drones acts as a significant challenge to the growth of the military drone market across the globe.
