Report 1: Thematic Research – 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 2: Thematic Report: Counter-Drone Technologies
True swarm technology will drive the widespread adoption of C-UAS systems. Russia has deployed UAVs extensively in the conflict in Ukraine and reportedly deployed a drone swarm in a military exercise in 2020, although these claims have been questioned by analysts. China has identified drones, particularly drone swarms, as a key feature of its defense modernization plans. Due to the development and advancement of drone technology, the cultivation and procurement of robust C-UAS systems capable of countering a range of UAV threats will be essential. Furthermore, the potential for the weaponization of commercially available small UAS (sUAS), such as the installation of grenades and mortar on recreational quadcopters as seen in Ukraine, will continue to drive capable C-UAS systems on all scales. Besides, systems capable of countering massed platforms, likely using HPM weapons, will need to be developed.

Report 3: Thematic Research – 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 global directed energy weapons spending was $4.1 billion in 2020. As unmanned platforms continue to proliferate across the air, land, and maritime domains of modern armed conflict, observers have highlighted the potential benefits which could be achieved by combining these two emerging technologies. In terms of comparative total expenditure, the US accounts for the largest share of expenditure globally, followed by China and France.

Report 4: Thematic Report: 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 near 4,000 miles per hour (6437Km/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. Although, in the next decade, the missiles segment will be driven by multiple high-value procurement programs worldwide, including the AGM-181 LRSO, Next-Generation Interceptor (NGI), Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), and Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) by the US, Kh-95 and Kh-47M2 Khinzhal by Russia, Dong Feng-21 by China, and AGM-88 HARM by Saudi Arabia, among others.

Report 5: Thematic Report: High Altitude Platform Systems
High-altitude platform systems (HAPS) are autonomous aerial vehicles that fly at very high altitudes in the stratosphere. There are three types of vehicles that together comprise the HAPS currently under development. These are aerostatic balloons, aerostatic airships, and aerodynamic fixed-wing aircraft. The platforms are commonly composed of airframes, power systems, and various payloads, dependent on the intended mission. In commercial applications, one of the most promising value propositions is the use of HAPS to provide communications. Companies such as SoftBank are actively exploring the use of HAPS to increase connectivity in urban areas with a view toward 6G requirements. In defense applications, HAPS are being developed to provide a persistent, yet flexible ISR capability. Many of the major HAPS programs under development rely upon solar energy to power the platform. The primary benefit this brings is persistence, allowing the platform to remain on station for long periods without refueling.
