Weapon Mounts Market Drivers and Opportunities

Deployment of New Weapon Stations Across Different Regions

The rise in number of weapon stations across different regions is one of the major factors propelling the procurement of weapon mounts worldwide. For instance,

• In April 2024, the US army deployed new missile launcher to the Philippines. The US Army’s new ground-based launcher, capable of supporting Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-6, appeared for the first time in the Indo-Pacific in a deployment to the Northern Philippines for military drills.
• In October 2023, the US Pentagon announced that the US Army air defense units are deploying to the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war come from Fort Bliss in Texas, Fort Liberty in North Carolina, and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

Such developments have been pushing the deployment of weapon mounts across different regions.

Deployment of Laser Weapons Across Range of Platforms

The deployment of laser weapons across airborne, ground, and naval platforms is one of the major factors likely to provide new opportunities for market vendors in the coming years. For instance,

• In 2022, the US Navy installed the first high-energy laser with integrated optical-dazzler and surveillance, or HELIOS, aboard Hawaii-based destroyer USS Preble (DDG-88).
• In March 2024, the UK conducted successful tests of its first-ever laser weapon, named "DragonFire" which has the capability to target and neutralize drones, offering a potentially low-cost alternative to traditional missiles.

Such factors are likely to boost the need for weapon mounts in the coming years.
