Report 1: Artificial Intelligence, 2020 Update
The global AI platform market value was $28 billion in 2019. The market is expected to achieve a CAGR of more than 13% during 2019-2024. AI allows businesses to accelerate digital innovation and development, resulting in increased efficiency, lower operational costs, higher revenues, and improved customer experience. AI is increasingly involved in life-changing decisions, like welfare payments, mortgage approvals, and medical diagnoses. Controversies surrounding bias in AI models have received a lot of attention, prompting companies to update their internal AI development guidelines to build trust.

Report 2: Hypersonic Technologies
Hypersonic technology has a long history, stretching back more than half a century but has waxed and waned over the years. Recently, increasing multi-polarity (and certainly the war in Ukraine) have driven intense investment in hypersonic technology by countries such as Russia, China, and the US. Hypersonic refers to aerial projectiles (aircraft, missiles, rockets, and spacecraft) that can reach speeds through the atmosphere greater than Mach 5, which is nearly 4,000 miles per hour (6437 km/h). The Mach number indicates how many times the speed of sound an object is traveling. As objects travel faster, technical challenges such as atmospheric heating increase exponentially, a paradigm that has historically limited designers.

Report 3: Directed Energy Weapons
Directed energy weapons (DEW) are now rapidly transitioning from the sphere of experimental technologies to the actual battlefield as it reaches a sufficient level of maturity to warrant deployment. Indeed, though the potential benefits of DEW in terms of cost-saving, logistics, and accuracy have long been extolled by technical specialists around the globe, it is only in recent years that militaries such as China, Israel, Russia, the UK, and the US have finally been capable of fielding those technologies through integration with existing platforms or capabilities. The directed energy weapons spending was $4.1 billion in 2020. In terms of comparative total expenditure, the US accounts for the largest share of expenditure globally, followed by China and France.

Report 4: Electronic Warfare Market
The electronic warfare (EW) market size was valued at $12.80 billion in 2020 and is expected to achieve a CAGR of more than 1% during 2020-2030. The EW market is seeing increased demand from airborne platforms, which is driving continued investment in the airborne EW segment. The growing concern for electronic protection capabilities continued focus on directed energy weapons, and rapid changes in technological advancement domains are expected to drive global demand in the electronic warfare market. Furthermore, the pivot to peer or near-peer conflict is driving advanced technology in EW and will continue to do so for decades to come.

Report 5: Quantum Technologies in Defense
Several defense companies are investing in quantum as they seek to reap future benefits. States are increasingly dedicating resources to leverage the advantages of quantum by using the technology to improve networking for dispersed forces, as well as increasing communication security. Quantum’s use in network-centric conflict has the potential to reduce operational pauses and increase the speed of command, as well as increase shared situational awareness. IBM, Microsoft, D-Wave, Alibaba, Google, Honeywell, and, most recently, AWS now all offer quantum cloud services, as do start-ups such as IonQ and Rigetti. In terms of geopolitics, quantum computing is also turning into a major battlefront in the gathering technology war between China and the US. Governments are concerned about the potential to fall behind and be at a strategic disadvantage and have ramped up the logistics for its development of it.

Report 6: Loitering Munitions
Loitering munitions are a rapidly expanding segment within unmanned systems and munitions. Their ability to stay on target until a target has been acquired is what makes them especially useful for military operations. While loitering munitions have been in use for several decades, their use has increased significantly in the past years, with the coming decade expected to see unprecedented growth in the market. The loitering munitions market will benefit from increased modularity, increased use of artificial intelligence (AI), use of swarm technology, and increased sensor capabilities in the next ten years. Cobra, a Ukraine-based company, has developed a C-UAS drone that has interchangeable warheads as well as four different operating modes. Its ability to be fitted with kamikaze, kinetic, or reusable effectors will make it a viable competitor in several markets.

Report 7: Advanced Materials in Aerospace and Defense
Advances in materials and manufacturing will have a long-term impact on aviation and defense in the future. New metals and alloys will be used in both defense and commercial environments, driven by the constant desire to seek lighter, stronger, and more durable structures. Furthermore, advanced materials provide significant benefits to military capabilities through increased functionality, improved survivability, ease of maintenance, and lower life cycle cost. Most recently, the UK and Australia launched a joint effort program to seek further innovation in joining technologies with a new funding opportunity that will enable the integration of advanced materials onto military platforms.
