World Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) System Markets

Frost & Sullivan, June 2001

Rising Demand for Information Sustains Industry Growth

By providing critical data quickly and without danger to human lives, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are meeting the tremendous demand for information by civil, commercial, and military organizations. UAVs provide
textured data over great distances in nearly real time, helping governments and militaries with peace keeping, intelligence gathering, and combat operations. Meanwhile, civilian applications as diverse as agriculture monitoring and weather tracking will boost industry growth over the long term.

This Frost & Sullivan research analyzes the world markets for tactical, strategic, lethal, and non-military UAV systems. With its identification of
drivers and restraints, assessment of emerging opportunities, and expert forecasts, this study gives current market participants and potential entrants a
detailed map to an expanding field.

Commercial Markets Poised for Expansion

UAV applications are set to explode in the commercial market once airspace regulations are defined and published, states the author of this study. Currently, the complexity of controlling airspace shared by both manned and unmanned systems presents a controversial barrier to the civilian UAV market segment. Whereas the military can use their own airspace or request special use of restricted airspace, civilian users have no such privileges. Market participants must commit to working with national airspace management organizations to develop, establish, and manage unmanned aerial systems in commercial airspace. This research pinpoints potential obstacles
and traces industry progress towards overcoming them, enabling your company to develop the most effective plan for the future.

Marketing Beyond Military Customers is a Must

Manufacturers must enhance their ability to market beyond the military, says the author. The potential uses for UAVs outside the armed forces are numerous.

Expanding to new markets will mean that manufacturers will need to quickly learn their new clients' objectives. Every system designed to date has received customizations due to unique mission requirements. This report highlights potential end-user markets and offers strategic recommendations to help your company maximize its potential.
