SUMMARY
The continuous evolution of Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVs) and the emergence
of new capabilities, coupled with recent operational successes in Iraq and
Afghanistan, have led to the increased use of unmanned systems across the
operational spectrum. Unmanned systems, in the form of unmanned aerial, ground
and maritime vehicles, have become an integral part of modern military
operations and, indeed, of the modern military arsenal.
The concept of unmanned vehicles is no longer the exclusive domain of
aircraft. Land and naval vehicles and systems have benefited directly from
advances made within the aeronautics and aerospace sectors, as well as from
the growing integration of information systems as a result of the global
adoption of Network Based Operations (NBO) policies. These, in turn, have
opened up new opportunities for all sectors of the defence industry, but most
significantly within the land and naval sectors, where progress historically
has been slower than in the civilian and military aerospace industries.
Visiongain expect the global markets for both Unmanned Undersea Vehicles
(UUVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) to experience significant growth in
the period 2007-2020, driven by both military and commercial interests. The
global UUV market will see total revenues of $8.83 billion by 2020, while the
global UGV market will reach $1.35 billion in the same period.
The main market opportunities for UUVs will be in advanced sensor packages and
payloads, as well as in associated support and training packages, while in the
UGV market, the most significant opportunities will be in the military,
homeland security and law enforcement sectors.
The report answers key questions such as:
Where are the UUV and UGV markets now and how are they likely to develop? How
will new technologies affect the market? Where are the greatest opportunities
to be found in each market? What are the key drivers of UUV and UGV
development? What is the positioning of the main players in each market? Who
are the main companies involved in developing UUVs and UGVs? How widely are
UUVs and UGVs currently used, and how is this set to change in the future?
