Main Military Sensors Market Drivers

Primary factors driving military sensors market are growing military modernization drives around the world, advancement in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS), rising adoption of UAVs in modern warfare, and increasing requirement for battlespace awareness among defence force. Battlespace situational awareness nowadays is becoming more critical tracking movements of enemies and communicating important information to military personnels. Militaries worldwide are increasingly deploying sensor systems like electro optics/infrared sensors to strengthen their defense equipment capabilities. These systems enable militaries to continuously monitor the battlefield in full-motion videos in real-time and helps in detecting and tracking enemies. Rise in the usage of electro optics/ infrared sensors in surveillance applications, is positively impacting the military sensors market growth.

Demand for nuclear-capable ballistic missiles and hypersonic are increasing rapidly due to increasing geopolitical tensions between countries, growing focus of governments on improving deterrence capabilities of militaries and strengthening national security. As of January 2023, U.S army is developing long-range hypersonic weapon (LRHW), which will be armed with hypersonic missiles that can travel more than 3,800 miles per hour and missile component of LRHW is currently being develop by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Indian military in December 2022, tested Agni-V, which is a nuclear capable ballistic missile in the Indian ocean region. This missile can hit targets, which are beyond the range of 5,000 km. Increasing deployment of such types of missiles and systems, will create lucrative growth opportunities for military sensors manufacturing companies to expand their business.

Increasing adoption of MEMS based devices leads to the development of micro gyros for navigation and positioning, micromirrors for steering laser beams and microbolometers for infrared imaging. MEMS fabrication techniques empower framework engineers to miniaturize mechanical components and coordinated them with microelectronics, subsequently empowering modern capabilities and upgrading execution at the same time. Moreover, increasing demand for new generation missile and air defence system and rising integration of anti-jamming features with navigation systems are further propelling the growth of military sensors market. Growing need to analyse mental health of soldiers, incorporation of advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) and increasing demand for lightweight and small sized sensors are supplementing the growth of military wearable sensors market. However, increasing cybersecurity concerns and lack of accuracy and operation complexities associated with MEMS navigation sensors are restricting the growth of military sensors market.
