UAV JAMMERS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Commercialization and increasing popularity of the drones in commercial and entertainment applications have led to the considerable increase in the privacy concerns among the population. These include the developed economies such as the U.S, owing to the drones that are equipped with high-quality cameras, which can invade individual’s private and confidential information relating to the property. This is expected to be the major factor fueling the demands for UAV jammers over the forecast period.

These equipment and devices provide a range of specialized jammers, which are designed to disrupt the remote control of the unmanned aerial vehicles inclusive of the drones, quad copters, and other GPS controlled aerial vehicle. Unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to find substantial applications in streamlining shipping costs along with several other mission-critical applications such as visual monitoring and wind turbine inspection. Aerial vehicles can also be utilized to smuggle drugs, crash into buildings, breach security, drop bombs, shoot guns, and other illegal activities. The requirement to keep these activities in check and avoid such malpractices, UAV jammers are expected to find substantial demands specifically in the defense and law enforcement applications over the forecast period.

Military & defense segments are expected to hold the prominent market share, however, expected benefits post its utilization in the commercial segment will provide substantial demands in the commercial and law enforcement agencies. In 2016, the UK law enforcement agencies expressed their consensus to utilize the unmanned aerial vehicle detection and jamming technologies at public events, which were at risk of terrorist attacks. Increasing participation of tech giants namely Airbus and Lockheed Martin are majorly investing in the sector to provide efficient jamming systems to curtail the risks of these systems. For instance, in 2016, Airbus introduced its next-generation anti-drone equipment featuring a high-tech solution for small flying robots, which was showcased at the Consumer Electronics Exposition.
