Mine Detection System Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Procurement of Mine Detection Systems

The frequency of armed conflicts between countries is increasing at an alarming rate, prompting a higher need for nation's defense forces to strengthen their security measures. Additionally, both developed and developing nations have experienced a significant rise in military expenditure over the years. For instance, according to the data published by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in 2022, the global military expenditure experienced a rise of 8.4% compared to 2019. A substantial portion of the budget allocation is defined toward the procurement of countermeasure technologies, including mine detection systems across different armed forces and law enforcement agencies.

Integration of Mine Detection Systems with Unmanned Systems

Mine countermeasures are undergoing a major transformation, owing to the evolution of disruptive technologies, from traditional mine hunting with grey ship minehunters to unmanned autonomous vehicle utilization for the same. Unmanned and autonomous systems that operate above and below the water have steadily progressed over the previous decade, reaching degrees of maturity that are now capable of being used as a mine detector. Ensuring the safety of naval personnel and keeping them out of casualty are the most critical aspects of mine countermeasures. The use of unmanned and autonomous technologies is a huge step forward in this arena. This has influenced companies such as Thales group to offer mine detection products that can be easily integrated with unmanned autonomous vehicles.
