North America Anti-Drone Market

The North American anti-drone market is projected to reach USD 5.22 billion by 2030 from USD 1.79 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 23.8% from 2025 to 2030. The regional market is driven by the escalating drone incursions across military installations, airports, borders, and critical infrastructure, necessitating advanced detection and mitigation capabilities. Strong federal investment from the US Department of Defense and homeland security agencies accelerates the deployment of multi-layered counter-UAS architectures. Rising use of drones for illicit cross-border activities and surveillance further expands demand for AI-enabled sensing, autonomous tracking, and directed-energy solutions. Technology innovation and regulatory focus on airspace security continue to reinforce growth prospects across the region.

Major players in the North American anti-drone market include RTX (US), Lockheed Martin (US), Anduril Industries (US), Moog Inc. (US), Boeing (US), Accipiter Radar (Canada), and Northrop Grumman (US), among others. Product launches, collaborations, and acquisitions are key strategies adopted by players to increase their market share, enhance their product portfolios, and expand their presence in the regional market.
