------------------------------------------
Unmanned vehicle robotic technologies have witnessed radical evolutionary developments over the last couple of decades making the unmanned systems industry a lucrative avenue for tapping business opportunities. A bright and robust future awaits the market for unmanned systems, encouraged largely by the global war on terrorism and the ever increasing government budgetary outlays for military and defense. On cards is rapid expansion of application areas ranging from discreet surveillance platforms and information collection to strike/combat procedures in military operations to non-military commercial/civilian applications, such as, inspection of industrial facilities and crop spraying, among others. UGVs and UMVs especially represents rapidly growing segments of the unmanned systems industry.
Rapidly changing battle management strategies and the growing focus on reducing battle damage, death, and risk to soldiers has and will continue to drive growth in the Unmanned Marine and Ground Vehicles market worldwide. While strong defense budgets have helped the Unmanned Marine and Ground Vehicles market to stay afloat, economic, social and financial consideration have interestingly helped bolster market prospects even further, especially so during the recession. The industry has successfully weathered the recessionary downturn primarily because the business case for unmanned vehicles like UMVs and UGVs goes beyond the temporary weakness in market climate. Unmanned technologies offer reduced risk and greater cost benefits to military crews as compared to manned technologies. For instance, unmanned vehicles are cheaper and faster to produce than manned vehicles thus making them attractive during periods of financial uncertainty like the present. This makes UMVs and UGVs one of the few recession resilient sub-sectors of the defense industry. The military cost reductions offered by unmanned systems, together with un-quantifiable benefits in protection and safety of human lives, make the use of these systems indispensable despite a lower procurement budget.
Hence, mission modularity and economic/social cost have held up demand for unmanned systems even as military budgets declined in certain countries. The ever-present urgent and persistent need to improve the operational safety of military procedures will continue to drive strong demand for UMVs & UGVs into the future.
Increased focus on R&D, and technology developments augur well for the future of Unmanned Marine and Ground Vehicles market. Ground robotics programs supporting the advancement of state-of-the-art sensor-based autonomous control and navigation, technological advancements geared towards accelerating the locomotion, vision sensors, processing and computing abilities of UGVs and development of sophisticated tracked and wheeled vehicles will allow UGV market to attract new opportunities in the short to medium term period. Significant developments in battery technology, including improvements in fuel cells and lithium-ion battery technologies for extending range and speed of unmanned vehicles bodes well for the future of this market.
Currently, igniting interest in the research space is the human-machine interface system. Virtual reality displays are new areas of research that offer prospects for non-invasive, brain-actuated control of robots. In conclusion, technology development will help UMVs & UGVs to assume increasingly important and critical military roles thus expanding the application avenues and demand further. Work-Class Unmanned Vehicles is also forecast to witness strong demand in the upcoming years in both the military and oil and gas industry. A significant portion of development and technology advancements in this space has been contributed by the oil and gas industry, especially so in the field of sub-sea robotics.
As stated by Global Industry Analysts's new market research report on Unmanned Marine and Ground Vehicles, the US remains the largest regional market for Unmanned Vehicles. Strong military budget, and dedicated R&D programs prove to be primary growth factors for unmanned marine and ground vehicles market in the US. The global Unmanned Ground Vehicles market is expected to witness increased interest stemming from its unrivalled benefits offered in protecting land forces/troops and minimizing collateral damage through accurate target acquisition and unmanned teaming strategies. The military and defense sector continues to remain the primary revenue contributors for the UGV market. Unmanned Marine Vehicles on the other hand are used in both commercial and military applications, such as, offshore drilling, hydrographic survey, harbor and port security, maritime security, antisubmarine warfare and mine warfare, among others. Improved weaponisation of UMVs, especially unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) will drive gains in the defense end-use application market. In the non-defense sector, growth will be driven by increased use of unmanned marine vessels in environmental monitoring/surveillance, search/rescue operations, marine biology, habitat mapping, and hydrographic explorations, among others.
