Unmanned Systems

The drone defense system market is estimated to grow from USD 801.8 Million in 2016 to USD 15,968.2 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 64.64% from 2016 to 2022. Need for countermeasure systems to detect counter drones and identification systems to detect unregulated commercial drones hovering in airspace are the factors fueling the growth of the drone defense system market.

Based on application, the drone mounting segment of the drone defense system market is projected to grow at the second-highest CAGR after the ground station segment during the forecast period. Drone mounting systems are installed majorly on military drones for detection, identification, and mitigation of other nearby drones. Increasing incidences of terrorist attacks is expected to drive this segment.

Based on technology, countermeasures segment of the drone defense system market is projected to grow at the second-highest CAGR after the identification & detection segment during the forecast period. There is a growing need for the development of drone countermeasure technologies due to the increasing incidences of security breach and attacks by terrorist groups.

Based on end user, the military segment of the drone defense system market is projected to grow at the second-highest CAGR after the commercial segment during the forecast period. The defence industry across the globe is focusing on the development of systems that are capable of tracking and identifying enemy drones and countering them.

The drone defense system market in Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Deployment of surveillance drones by countries of Asia-Pacific region is expected to boost the development of robust drone defense systems for military. China is a major player in the Asia-Pacific drone defense system market and is a leader in the manufacturing of advanced drone defense systems for defense use.

Drone Identification Market

Technological, regulatory, and legal issues associated with countering of drones and airspace traffic management act as challenges for the growth of the drone defense system market. Moreover, lack of security mechanism makes drones vulnerable to hacking and might render identification systems ineffective.

Key players profiled in the drone defense system market report are DroneShield (Australia), Dedrone Inc. (U.S.), Thales Group (France), Kelvin Hughes Limited (U.K.), Orelia SAS (France), Advanced Protection Systems Sp. Z.O.O (Poland), Blighter Surveillance Systems Ltd. (U.K.), and Aaronia AG (Germany), among others. New Product launches was among the key strategies adopted by the leading players to sustain their position in the drone defense system market. Providers of drone defense system systems are focusing on product offerings to increase their revenue shares. Companies in this market are also focusing on designing drone defense system systems for diverse applications by implementing new functionalities. The strategy of new product launches accounted for a share of 45% of the total developments that took place in the drone defense system market between January 2013 and February 2017.
