Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Electro-Optics in Naval Market Growth
Global economic stability has been completely upended by COVID-19 pandemic, which has halted businesses, paused production lines for defense electronics, temporarily shut down shipbuilding companies, and disturbed routine operations at several manufacturing facilities. The defense electronics industry is attempting to manage and mitigate the harmful effects of the crisis, as it appears that few enterprises have been spared. Furthermore, the supply chain interruptions stopped manufacturing activities. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic had a marginally negative impact on the global electro-optics in naval market growth. However, in 2021, the industrial manufacturing operations have returned to their normal pace, and the global electro-optics in naval market size is expected to surpass the 2019 market levels by 2023.

Technology-Based Insights
Based on technology, the global electro-optics in naval market is segmented into camera, sensor, and laser range finder. The camera segment held the largest share of the electro-optics in naval market in 2021. The electro-optic camera technology in maritime imaging systems provides a critical capability to enhance navigation, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. In addition, high-performance maritime imaging systems provide total situational awareness during daylight and low-light camera imaging for long-range vessel detection, identification, and threat assessment. Moreover, the camera utilizes advanced sensors and cutting-edge algorithms to detect a range of threats and thermal anomalies passively. Generally, the camera weighs less than 55 lb and offers a 982mm focal length on a stabilized platform. Also, its features include a split screen; picture-in-picture; multi-field-of-view spotter scope; medium-wave infrared (MWIR) thermal camera; and short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera to see thorough mist, smog, smoke, and haze. Thus, automatic processing for object detection imposes specific demands on the image quality, such as stable performance with high detection rates.
The electro-optics in naval market players are mainly focusing on partnerships to create customer value.
- In 2022, The Israel Ministry of Defense signed a US$ 95 million contract with Elbit Systems Ltd to purchase advanced electro-optical systems for the IDF Ground Forces. The systems include long-range deployable observation systems, thermal weapon sights, and night vision equipment. These systems will provide the IDF with observation capabilities, target acquisition, and enemy exposure in various combat scenarios during day and nighttime.
- In 2022, L3Harris Technologies signed a contract worth a potential US$ 593 million for EO/IR sensor for the U.S. Navy. The contractor would then manufacture up to 21 SPEIR initial production units and 21 wide and narrow fields of view components of the system.
