Counter UAV Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Adoption Kinetic Counter UAV Systems

Kinetic counter UAV systems are used by military bodies across the globe to completely take down a drone. It utilizes anti drone weight lines or nets which is generally launched with the help of compressed air, or another UAV. These devices help to capture the drone, neutralize it or destroy the same. Some time, unknown drones are sent within military boundaries to study the area or to keep a close eye to the opponents where-abouts. In such cases, destroying the complete drone ensures enhanced safety to the military forces.

Some of the major companies offer kinetic counter UAV systems include KWESST Micro Systems Inc. and Zen Technologies Limited amongst others. KWESST Micro Systems Inc., offers micro-drone for kinetic interdiction of small drones, including swarms, that can be launched by soldiers. It is a fully automatic drone which helps in the dentification of drones, track, hunt and neutralize them with kinetic technology. These systems also cover a range of 4km. The company in October 2021, announced the development of new counter UAV system in response to the rapidly increasing threat of loitering munitions.

Strategic Initiatives by Major Players

The rising terrorist attacks and political instability among various developed and developing countries is increasing the defense and homeland security forces to increase their procurement of advanced solutions such as radar systems, communication systems and anti-drone technologies amongst others. For instance, department of defense of US, European Union and other authorities like Indian defense ministry has increased their spending on procurement of anti-drones over the years. This is leading the counter UAV manufacturers to adopt organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as high investments, product offerings, and global expansion, further creating growth opportunities for the global counter UAV market.

Counter UAV Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the counter UAV market report is mainly divided into four regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World.

North America has dominated the market in 2023 followed by Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Further, Asia Pacific is also likely to witness highest CAGR in the coming years. The US accounted for major share in the North American counter UAV market. The anti UAV systems, according to the US Department of Defense (DOD), helps the US army to detect and neutralize hostile or attacking drones. Due to their size, construction material, and flight altitude, many smaller UASs are undetectable by typical air defence systems. As a result, the US Department of Defense (DOD) expects to spend at least US$ 636 million on counter-UAS (C-UAS) research and development in FY2022, as well as at least US$ 75 million on C-UAS procurement, a US$ 134 million increase over FY2021. As the US DoD continues to develop, purchase, and deploy these technologies, contributing to the market's growth.
