Electro-Optics in Naval Market Analysis

With the naval expansion, there is an increase, and national security concerns continue to rise across commercial maritime activity regarding shipbuilding and investment in port infrastructure. Additionally, heavy investments in modernizing and upgrading electro-optic technology, an increase in the need for ISR capabilities, and adoption of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are among the major factors fuelling the electro-optic in the naval market growth. For instance, in September 2022, L3Harris Technologies Inc received a contract from the U.S. Navy worth US$ 8.9 million to supply electro-optics sensors for fire control applications across warship deck guns. However, the stagnant lifecycle of naval electro optic systems that reduces the product demand for retrofit installations is one of the major factors limiting the market growth. On the contrary, increase in sea-based situational awareness, a rise in the need for better sensor systems that are highly reliable and accurate for maritime patrol, and rapid developments and R&D investments are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.

Electro-Optics in Naval Market Overview

The naval electro-optics systems consist of multi-sensor imaging modules catering to the needs for surveillance, monitoring, fire control, and panoramic search-and-track. In addition, the electro-optic enables the detection of all airborne and surface threats, both symmetrical and asymmetrical, regardless of the time of the day and weather conditions. Moreover, for high sea and coastal security operations, electro-optic systems provide surveillance, fire control, and air defense systems for several surface vessels, including aircraft carriers, frigates, corvettes, ocean and coastal patrol boats, and high-speed craft. Moreover, electro optic sensors are operational in various airborne, ground, and naval applications, providing position and orientation data required for operation and target acquisition. Also, the sensors provide early-warning, abnormal activity monitoring, incident management, and comprehensive observation and reaction capabilities.

Electro-Optics in Naval Market Drivers and Opportunities

Continuous Growth of Global Defense Sector  

The change in the modern warfare system has been urging governments across the world to allocate high funds toward respective military forces. The military budget allocation enables military forces to procure advanced technologies and equipment from domestic or international manufacturers. Solider and military vehicle modernization practices are also on the rise across numerous countries. To strengthen military forces with advanced technologies, armaments, artilleries, combat aircraft, naval vessels, and armoured vehicles, defense forces across the world are investing substantial amounts in the aforementioned products. The continuous urge for new technologies for combat and noncombat operations by the defense forces is boosting defense spending across the world.

Increasing Number of Disputes and Threats to Naval Vessels

Due to the growth in maritime disputes and threats to naval vessel forces, countries are investing in advanced electro-optical systems for maritime applications such as threat detection, surveillance, and target identification. In addition, the growing number of territorial conflicts and border issues increases the risk for maritime assets, leading to an increasing emphasis on surveillance, threat detection, and target identification at sea. Moreover, navy forces are increasingly focusing on incorporating and integrating sophisticated and advanced sensor systems into their naval vessels. Additionally, it has become important for navy vessels to obtain motion imagery from electro-optic sensors that provide day-night and long-range eyes on the target. Also, it improves vessel’s ability to identify targets, supports weapon engagement through automatic tracking and fire control solutions through line-of-sight, and performs threat assessment. Moreover, the constant tensions among the countries such as China-India, India-Pakistan, China-Taiwan, Russia-China, US-Russia; also, the ongoing conflicts among the countries such as Russia-Ukraine, India-China, and China-Taiwan are some of the major factors generating the demand for electro-optic systems across the defense forces of these countries. Such tension among the countries have been pushing the requirement of naval vessel operations which is in turn driving the demand for electro-optic cameras, sensors, and laser range finders across different regions.
