Aerospace & Defense End User to Hold Significant Share
- Accelerometers are commonly utilized in the aerospace industry for various purposes, such as inertial navigation, industrial measurement, and guidance & control. Additionally, vibration sensors play a crucial role in monitoring turbine engine failures, which significantly contribute to increased maintenance expenses in this industry. Consequently, companies within the aerospace & defense sector are increasingly embracing Prognostic & Health Management (PHM) systems to prevent mechanical failures and reduce maintenance costs.
- Given that vibration is the predominant parameter for health monitoring in aerospace engines, the advancement of PHM systems is expected to contribute to the growth of the market directly.
- Also, an increase in situational awareness to drive operations, cost-effective maintenance, and an increase in asset utilization are some of the key factors driving the demand for aircraft health monitoring systems.
- Turbine engine failures are the primary cause of mechanical failures, which is increasing costs; hence, users are increasingly turning to prognostic health management (PHM) systems to prevent these losses and reduce maintenance costs. As vibration is the most common health monitoring parameter in the aerospace engine industry, the development of PHM systems is likely to have a direct impact on the growth of vibration sensors.
- Further, military and civilian vehicles' engines are measured by vibrometry sensors using micro-Doppler technology. This can enable the identification of prospective intruders or assailants at distances beyond the reach of conventional electro-optical sensors, in addition to providing extra non-imagery identification.
- In addition, vibrometry has the ability to analyze vibration signals for the assessment of power plants, concealed targets, and battle damage. One of the most important steps in getting the technology to the warfighter is automated digital signal processing for these vibration characteristics. Analysts can identify a target's engine type, engine speed, number of cylinders, vehicle type, or fingerprint by analyzing vibration patterns picked up from distant vehicles. The region's robust military and defense expenditure is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the studied market.
