Naval Combat Systems Industry Overview
Some of the prominent players in the market are Leonardo S.p.A., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Thales Group, and General Dynamics Corporation. Leonardo is one of the major suppliers of weapon systems onboard naval vessel programs in countries like Canada, France, and Germany, among others. For instance, Leonardo was awarded a contract to provide four OTO 127/64 Light Weight (LW) Vulcano naval guns with the Automatic Ammunition Handling System (AAHS) as an optional solution for the new Canadian Surface Combatants (CSC) program, currently being constructed by Irving Shipbuilding Inc. Many players in the market are working together to develop advanced and innovative combat systems for various militaries worldwide. This is expected to help the technology transfer and enhance the mission capabilities due to the integration of different spheres of technologies in the end product. For instance, currently, Saab AB, BAE Systems PLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation are working together to deliver a combat system integration for the Hunter class frigates to Australia. In addition to conventional weapon systems, the naval forces are integrating advanced laser weapon systems onboard a naval vessel for precise targeting. Such partnerships are expected to help the growth of the market and revenues simultaneously for each of the players during the forecast period.
