North America Unmanned Systems Industry Overview
The North American unmanned systems market is fragmented due to several players providing unmanned systems for military, law enforcement, and commercial applications. Some prominent players are The Boeing Company, Elbit Systems Ltd, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, and AeroVironment Inc. To expand their share in the market, the companies are robustly investing in research and development of new unmanned systems with advanced capabilities.
For instance, in June 2022, Teledyne FLIR Defense unveiled the Kobra 725 modular UGV with new capabilities and upgrades compared to its predecessor, the Kobra 710. The new UGV is integrated with new technologies such as AES-256 encryption, field-swappable radio modules, full-HD cameras, and wide-angle visual/thermal mobility cameras, which is suitable for military applications like Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)/counter-vehicle-borne IED missions, weapon integration, remote CBRN detection, and surveillance, among others. Such developments are expected to drive the market in the region during the forecast period.
