Increasing government funding on defense equipment such as autonomous military aircraft to enhance the efficiency of military operations also boosts the demand for the market. For instance, in September 2021, the UK government invested nearly £400 million in the Royal Air Force (RAF) to upgrade the capabilities of two of its most important assets: the C-17 Globemaster airplane and the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. £324 million will be invested in the UK's C-17 fleet. As part of a contract with the US Air Force, this will upgrade hardware and software to improve airlift capability. As part of a £64 million contract with Boeing Defence UK (BDUK), the UK's fleet of Mk5 and Mk6 Chinook helicopters will be improved with cutting-edge defensive systems, making them more difficult for adversaries to detect. Hence, increasing government spending on autonomous military aircraft is a key factor in driving the market. The major constraint of autonomous military aircraft is its vulnerability to jamming and spoofing. Securing GPS signals to ensure that they cannot be tampered with by enemy forces acts as the inherent liability of GPS to jamming and spoofing and acts as a major challenge. In particular, communication links between the controller and the autonomous military aircraft are extremely vulnerable and the required target accuracy is difficult to achieve due to navigation errors. Due to this, the aircraft is misdirected and becomes either unusable or a threat to their personnel equipment. For instance, in April 2022, Russian forces since the invasion of Ukraine, have been engaged in jamming the satellite navigation systems of commercial aircraft. According to Benoit Roturier, the head of satellite navigation at France's civil aviation authority DGAC, the report stated that the pilots were informed there had been disruptions near the Black Sea, the Kaliningrad region, and close to Eastern Finland. Such factors are expected to harm the demand for autonomous military aircraft and may have an impact on the growth of the market. Autonomous military aircraft companies are making efforts to embed artificial intelligence (AI) and specialize in the development of software, including machine learning and AI, that are core capabilities for these advanced systems. The ability of a system to decide on the most suitable action from sensor data input to fulfil the intent for operations by making guesses without human input can be achieved by AI technology. Through edge processing, aircraft do not have to send information to the cloud and thus may achieve greater performance, information security, and autonomy. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking to advance artificial intelligence technologies for individual and team aerial dogfighting tactics.

According to an Air Force Technology publication on April 7, 2020, COVID-19 disrupted defense supply chains. The production and assembling activities have been stopped by the big companies owing to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Therefore, the production and disruptions are deteriorating the distribution and supply of military drones, which, in turn, is expected to decline the military drone sales during 2020. Drone swarm technology is growing in popularity in the military drone market due to its cost efficiency and high firepower. Drone swarms are a large group of small drones that coordinate with each other to perform actions such as a survey of enemy territories, search and rescue, and attacks on hostile objects. Drone swarm technology involves the production of several small, cheap drones rather than one large, expensive drone, therefore offering military drone manufacturers and end-users efficiency in terms of cost and time. With the use of advanced swarm technologies, the military and armed forces can effectively carry out lethal drone strikes in multiple places at once. For instance, Microsystems developed a drone swarming system called the WOLF-PAK, which has the capability to fly small drones in groups and make them split away from the group whenever necessary. In February 2022, Halcon, a subsidiary of EDGE Group, a UAE-based provider of military weaponry and related technologies, unveiled the Hunter 2-S, a tube-launched swarming drone system. The Hunter 2-S is an unmanned aerial vehicle from the Hunter 2 series. These drones are anticipated to communicate with one another in order to track targets, hold positions, and engage with the proper targets. The drones can communicate with each other through a main channel using a specific algorithm, which sends messages to all of the drones and assigns each one of them a specific mission to fly to the target. In July 2020, UAS Drone Corp., an Israel-based company that designs, develops, and manufactures unmanned aerial systems, acquired Duke Robotics, Inc. With these acquisitions, the main focus is on Duke Robotics' business to expand its presence in the military drone market with TIKAD – a UAS Octocopter Integrated with a Six Degrees of Freedom ('6 DOF') Robotic Gimbal system which enables remote, real-time firing of small arms and light weapons.
