EO/IR Systems Market Size to Reach USD 20.36 Billion by 2026; Agreement between U.S. Marine Corps and Lockheed Martin to Stimulate Growth

May 12, 2020 | Aerospace & Defense

The global electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems market size is predicted to reach USD 20.36 billion by 2026. The growing inclination towards miniaturization for the development of innovative, efficient and portable EO/IR systems for ISR applications will consequently aid the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the development of lightweight laser designators to improve the efficiency of military operations will foster growth of the market in the foreseeable future, mentioned in a report, titled “Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Systems Market Size, Share and Industry Analysis, By Systems (Imaging System and Non-Imaging System), By Technology (Cooled and Uncooled), By Sensor Technology (Staring Sensor and Scanning Sensor), By Imaging Technology (Multispectral and Hyperspectral), By wavelength (Ultraviolet, Near Infrared, Short Wavelength Infrared, Medium Wavelength Infrared, and Long Wavelength Infrared), By Platform (Airborne, Land, and Marine/Naval), By End User (Commercial and Military), and Regional Forecast, 2019- 2026”. the market size stood at USD 13.15 billion in 2018 and is predicted to exhibit a CAGR of 5.84% between 2019 to 2026.


Contracts Won by Leonardo DRS to Soar Market Sales


Leonardo DRS, a US-based defense contractor announced that it received contracts for Electro-Optical/Infrared programs worth up to $800 million. The Department of Defense contracts include, a ten-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract from the U.S. Army to manufacture the Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder 3, a next-generation lightweight precision laser targeting system, allowing forward observers to call for precision-guided munitions onto targets. The contract involves a transaction of $231 million for a period of 10 years. Moreover, Lockheed Martin signed an agreement with the U.S. Marine Corps for the development of electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) fire-control systems in Marine Corps AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters. The TSS equipment for Marine Corps Viper helicopter gunships is part of the Marine Corps H-1 upgrades program for the remanufacture of legacy aircraft with state-of-the-art designs to convert the Marine Corps' existing fleet of AH-1W SuperCobra attack helicopters to the AH-1Z Viper. The order of five AN/AAQ-30 target sight systems (TSS) worth $11.8 million from Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control segment will boost the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems market trends.
