"Smart Market Solutions to Help Your Business Gain Edge over Competitors"
Airborne surveillance is used for monitoring activities & behavior in the surrounding, detecting & tracking aircraft in flight. The gathering of surveillance is in visual imagery or video format. The surveillance is carried out from airborne vehicles such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, and others.
The airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) systems communicate with friendly aircraft, direct fighters towards any flying unidentified object or hostile aircraft, provide data on threats and targets, help fighter aircraft extend their sensor range and make offensive aircraft more difficult to track
Rapid advances in aerial surveillance hardware such as forward-looking infrared (FLIR), micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs), and high-resolution imagery that are capable of identifying objects at very long range is driving the growth of the market.
Key Market Driver -
• Rising demand for UAVs for surveillance • Availability of low-cost UAVs • Rise in technological advancements
Key Market Restraint -
• High cost involved in procurement and deployment of the LiDAR sensor system • Lack of skilled proffesionals
Moreover, rising demand for commercial UAVs along with availability of low cost UAVs is also expected to fuel the market growth. Furthermore, the rising expenditure of various countries such as the U.S. on mapping several terrains is also anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period.
The Boeing E-3 Sentry developed by the Boeing Company provides weather surveillance, communications, command, and control and is used by the United States Air Force, Royal Air Force, Royal Saudi Air Force, French Air Force, and NATO.
The airborne surveillance market is segmented based on type, system, application, and region.
Based on type, the market is segmented into radar, LiDAR, imaging system. The radar segment is predicted to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to rising adoption of radar systems for aerial surveillance in military & defense sector.
Increase in expenditure by the government of several countries on 3D mapping of terrains will fuel the growth of the market for LiDAR UAVs
Based on the system, the market is divided into manned system and an unmanned system. The unmanned system segment is expected to account for major share in the market during the forecast period. The rising use of unmanned systems has been observed in both military and commercial applications. For military unmanned systems the demand is for radar and imaging system, whereas in commercial unmanned systems the demand is for LiDAR and imaging system.
Based on the application, the market is classified into commercial and military. The commercial segment is further divided into agriculture & forestry, inspection & monitoring, engineering, surveying, & mapping, and insurance. In agriculture & forestry, 3D mapping has become important to implement an effective irrigation system and evaluating forest inventory. Rise in use of drones for engineering, surveying & mapping for planning and construction of railways, roads, etc is fueling the growth of the market
The military segment is further classified into search & rescue, law enforcement, border surveillance and ISR & targeting. The ISR & targeting segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Some of the key players in the air and missile defense radar market include Lockheed Martin Corporation (the U.S.), The Raytheon Company (the U.S.), General Dynamics Corporation (the U.S.), Northrop Grumman Corporation (the U.S.), Reutech Radar Systems (South Africa), Thales Group (France), Saab AB (Sweden) and among others.
By Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and rest of the world
North America is anticipated to account for the major share of the market during the forecast period. The growth of the market in North America can be credited to the rise in the adoption of aerial surveillance in this region.
Europe plays a vital role in increasing the growth of the market. Owing to the aggressive investment of European countries such as France and Germany in UAV LiDAR technology, the market is expected to witness substantial growth in this region.
