Abstract
The continuous evolution of unmanned vehicle systems and the emergence of new
technologies, coupled with recent operational successes in Iraq and
Afghanistan, have led to the increased use of unmanned systems across the
operational spectrum. Unmanned systems, in the form of unmanned aerial, ground
and maritime vehicles, have become an integral part of modern military
operations and, indeed, of the modern military arsenal.
Undoubtedly, unmanned systems have potential to register significant growth,
but unlike Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Maritime Vehicles (UMVs)
and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are rapidly-emerging markets. This latest
report - The Emerging UMV and UGV Markets 2008-2018 - analyses the market for
UMVs and UGVs. It looks into the future and identifies the key companies and
issues that will affect the market. Visiongain believes the US is at the
forefront of UMV and UGV development, but do you know which other markets have
potential for growth?
Visiongain notes that there are almost 150 UUVs being used by the US Navy
alone. Visiongain believes the UMV market should exceed nearly $160 million by
2009. Do you know that the UGV market is growing rapidly? In 2004 the US army
was using 162 robots in Iraq and Afghanistan. That grew to 5,000 in 2007 and
will continue to climb to 6,000 in 2008. Visiongain believes UGV market will
exceed $450 million by 2009, but do you know the market value in 2013, or even
in 2018? This report will share all the information on market valuation with
key market analysis and forecasts up to 2018.
Our new Emerging UMV and UGV Markets 2008-2018 report examines those markets
critically, through comprehensive primary and secondary research. Importantly,
visiongain discusses UMVs and UGVs in the context of the wider defence and
industrial markets. In addition to consultation with experts in industry, this
research involved a detailed study of relevant documents, industrial reports
and current developments. Importantly, visiongain applied techniques such as
financial forecasting and analysis of drivers and restraints. The result is a
comprehensive market-based report with detailed analyses and informed opinion.
Why you should buy this report
In our Emerging UMV and UGV Markets 2008-2018 report you will find answers to
the following questions:
- Where are the UMV and UGV markets now and how are they likely to develop?
- What sales will the worldwide UMV and UGV markets generate from 2008-2018?
- What are the most important technological issues for the UMV and UGV
sectors?
- Which are the main companies involved in developing UMVs and UGVs?
- Is UUV market bigger than USV market?
- Is UUV non-military market bigger than military market?
- How widely are UMVs and UGVs currently used, and how will patterns of
usage change in the future?
Visiongain believes UUVs are at the stage where they have become useful for a
number of missions such as, port monitoring, ship tracking/inspection,
intelligence gathering, surveillance, mine countermeasures (MCM), tactical
oceanography, navigation, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and mapping.
USVs have also proven viable for certain applications, especially port and
harbour security, fixed and mobile asset security (such as oil rigs and piers,
as well as maritime intercepting operations). A number of leading companies
are already interested in this sector and are fast developing systems there.
Companies specialising in defence-relevant engineering cannot afford to miss
potential opportunities in this market area. Our report will help those
organisations to understand this market sector and assess its potential from
the present onwards.
