How Are New Trends Impacting The Size Of The Search Detection And Navigation Instruments Market?

Firms in the marine sector are increasingly finding value in navigation tools that integrate augmented reality (AR). AR is an innovative technology that superimposes digital data onto the physical world. Sailors greatly benefit from navigation systems that have AR for tasks associated with ship maintenance and other relevant operations. An example is the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines' (MOL) plan to equip 21 of their very large crude oil carriers (VLCCs) with AR navigation systems. This revolutionary system overlays real-time video images and voyage specifics to visually aid crewmembers in their watch-keeping and ship operation duties. The real-time benefits offered by AR technology are likely to result in a higher demand for instruments that utilize such high-tech advancements.
