Naval (Modern Naval Warfare) – Report Bundle (6 Reports)
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
“Naval forces chiefly form the sea component of the three-pronged approach in conflict. That is why naval power is crucial in neutralizing threats on the surface of the sea as well as under it. Modern-day navies must deal with threats from various angles, from maritime drones to uncrewed vessels. Therefore, navies are investing hard in new technologies day in, and day out to eliminate threats from all possible approaches.”
As a part of this bundle, you will gain access to in-depth insights available in the following reports:
- High Intensity Warfare
- Littoral Warfare
- Drones for Maritime Operation
- Unmanned Surface Vehicles
- Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
- Arctic and High North (Militarization)
Report 1: High Intensity Warfare
The concept of high intensity warfare (HIW) entails geopolitical and socio-economic turmoil on such a scale that all areas of global trade are at risk of feeling the detrimental impacts of such a conflict. There is also an issue of scale, as a HIW scenario has the potential to remain geographically limited in its immediate scope, as seen with the brief conflicts in Georgia in 2008 or Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020, while also having the potential to gradually escalate into an armed conflict on a larger scale, as we are noticing in the Russian invasion of Ukraine in Europe. It is, for this reason, that understanding the HIW theme is critical to anticipating the immediate impacts of a conflict for both clients and suppliers within the global defense market. Companies with a seemingly niche product portfolio or expertise can see significant shifts in demand and return on investment as factions engaged in high intensity warfare develop creative means of deploying those solutions in new domains or scenarios. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has provided several stark examples of this, including the use of Bayraktar TB-2 UCAVs to hunt surface vessels or the adaptation of the fighter-launched Brimstone Air-to-Surface Missile (ASM) to function as a Surface-to-Surface Missile (SSM) fired from makeshift platforms.

Report 2: Littoral Warfare
The littoral warfare environment encompasses the maritime, air, land, space, and cyber domains as well as the information space. Warfare in the littorals has certain characteristics not found on the open ocean. These distinctions are especially pronounced in narrow seas, owing to their small size, short distances, and the presence of many offshore islands, artificial islands, coastal cliffs and mountains, constructions such as oil & gas platforms and wind-power plants, and shallowness of the water. The operating areas of both enemy and friendly forces encompass not only littoral waters but also coasts, offshore islands, and parts of the interior within the range of shipborne weapons. Future conflicts in the littoral would be characterized by short notice, rapid escalation, limited duration, and high intensity leading to increased mortality as well as danger of collateral damages. Coastal cities, with their location, population concentrations, transportation infrastructure, and above-average income levels, have become strategic points of control for those seeking profit or support for their cause. Control of the littorals will therefore be a vital mission of military forces. This future threat environment calls for new thinking and a shift in the operational approach.

Report 3: Drones for Maritime Operation
According to GlobalData the global military UAV market, valued at $8 billion in 2021, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.15% over the forecast period, to reach $15.9 billion by 2031. Most of today’s UAVs are designed for ISR, search and rescue and constabulary missions. Advanced navies seek to enhance their utilization of UAVs in logistic transport and other naval operations such as anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), mine counter measure (MCM), and electronic warfare (EW). General Atomics is one of the largest UAV manufacturers, selling the Reaper and Predator UAV to the US and allies worldwide. To meet growing military demands for accurate ISR and strike capabilities, the company’s focus is on providing long-endurance, mission-capable UAVs equipped with integrated sensors and data link systems.

Report 4: Unmanned Surface Vehicles
The use of autonomous systems is increasing significantly every day in the military field to reduce costs and keep humans out of danger. Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) also have the potential to be used as force multipliers in many areas of naval operations, with their modular structures and their ability to carry many different payloads. Leading shipbuilders such as HII, Fincantieri, Austal, and BAE systems are competing for the highest share of the growing USV market. GlobalData expects that the global USV market will be worth US$3.1 billion in 2031, up from US$2.1 billion in 2021. The demand for USVs is anticipated to be driven by the autonomous MCM capability enhancement and distributed fleet structure initiatives undertaken by the US, China, the UK, and France.

Report 5: Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
GlobalData expects the global unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) market to be worth $750.5 million in 2030, up from $525.1 million in 2020. The demand for UUVs is expected to be driven by the autonomous MCM capability enhancement and distributed fleet structure initiatives undertaken by the US, China, Russia, the UK, and France. Atlas Elektronik is a leading manufacturer of unmanned surface and underwater vehicles such as SeaFox, Cobra, SeaCat, and ARCIMS. In January 2021, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) awarded a £25 million contract to Atlas Elektronik UK to deliver three autonomous uncrewed minesweeping systems to the Royal Navy. As per reports, the Navy is eager to be on the front line of innovation and is pushing to integrate new technologies and the digitization of its fleet to prepare for the future operating environment.

Report 6: Arctic and High North (Militarization)
The Arctic region is becoming increasingly important as climate change-induced ice melt exposes valuable resources for the first time. Technological advances, such as new icebreakers, are facilitating widespread exploitation of these resources and are pushing more actors, both state and commercial, into the region. After a short period of stagnation in the wake of the cold war, Arctic countries, especially Russia, have been enhancing their military activities. The increasing great power competition and threat perceptions in the Arctic region have forced Arctic countries to increase their defense expenditures. US military forces have begun to pay more attention to the Arctic in their planning and operations. The Department of Defense (DOD), the Navy, the Air Force, and the Coast Guard have all issued Arctic strategy documents in 2019 and 2020. Moreover, Non-Arctic countries such as the UK, France, the Netherlands, and China are aiming to increase their footprint in the region through military training, economic cooperation, and scientific research.
