Missiles and Missile Defense Systems Market Dynamics

Over the last decade, militaries across the globe have realized the potential of UAVs in the rapidly evolving network-centric battlefield. UAVs are extensively used in multiple military applications, including maritime and land border surveillance, electronic warfare, target tracking and designation, and precision strikes. Besides these conventional roles, UAVs can be remotely piloted and equipped with varying degrees of autonomy to undertake pre-programmed flight plans. The older air defense systems are less capable of tracking UAVs due to their compact size, low radar cross-section (RCS), and reduced IR signatures. Therefore, countries are focusing on developing advanced air defense systems to counter the growing threat of UAVs.

Several countries have also directed their efforts toward the R&D and procurement of advanced next-generation conventional land attack and anti-ship missiles, featuring low RCS and reduced IR signatures. This makes it harder for the enemy’s radar and electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensors to detect and track these missiles. Low observable (LO) missiles enable armed forces to attack ground targets, with a reduced risk of being engaged by enemy defenses.
