The military robots refer to robots specially designed for military applications. These are remotely controlled military robots for tasks such as transport, search, rescue, gunfire or attack, airborne and underwater surveillance, image capturing, bomb disposal, carrying wounded military personnel, and detecting mines. The main platforms in military robotics are land, marine, and airborne. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are the common name for land or home robots (UGVs). Wheeled or tracked robots are the most frequent, but footed robots with two or more legs are also prevalent (humanoid or resembling animals or insects). The different payloads include sensors, cameras, LCD screens, weapons, radar, and others and are used in ISR, search and rescue, combat support, transportation, EOD, mine clearance, and firefighting. The various sectors include the armed forces and homeland security. The global military robots market is segmented - 1) By Platform: Land, Marine, Airborne 2) By Application: ISR, Search and Rescue, Combat Support, Transportation, EOD, Mine Clearance, Firefighting 3) By Payload: Sensors, Cameras, LCD Screens, Weapons, Radar, Others 4) By End User: Armed Forces, Homeland Securities The global military robots market size will grow from $18.8 billion in 2022 to $20.39 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the global military robots is expected to grow from $28.42 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.7%. The military robot market growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of land-based military robots by various countries for border security.

The primary objective of the border patrol robots is to save the lives of security personnel deployed for border surveillance. Border patrol systems that utilize the PIR sensor for human detection and a metal detector for explosive detection can accurately detect border intrusions with minimum human involvement. The system also uses a wireless camera to continuously monitor the border. Based on the fact that autonomous military systems can cut down costs, improve effectiveness, enable more broad military operations, and most importantly, help keep security personnel out of harm, various countries are adopting military robots for border security. The increasing adoption of military robots by various countries, therefore, is expected to drive the military robot market growth. Major players in the military robots market are Lockheed Marin Corporation, Northrup Grumman Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation, BAE Systems, Aerovironment, Inc., Irobot, Boston Dynamics, Thales Group, Elbit Systems Ltd., and Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. The decline in the defense budget in developed economies across the globe acts as a restraint on the industry. For instance, in April 2022, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a Sweden-based international research institute on arms control, arms transfers and non-proliferation, the global military burden—defined as global military spending as a share of global gross domestic product (GDP)—fell by 0.1 percentage points, from 2.3% in 2020 to 2.24% in 2021, as a result of a sharp economic recovery. US military expenditures totalled $801 billion in 2021, a 1.4% decrease from 2020. The cost of the US military decreased slightly from 3.7% of GDP in 2020 to 3.5% in 2021. The decline in the defense budget in some developed economies across the globe is expected to hamper the military robot market. Multi-mission robots are designed to carry out multi-domain operations in the military. Unlike humans, robots do not suffer from physical and mental exhaustion. With continuous advances in electronic component technology and miniaturization, the operational flexibility of robots has increased tremendously. They exhibit greater resistance to the impact of bombs and weapons, ensuring greater security. Today's robots are equipped with mission-specific tasks and individual munitions. The payloads that these robots carry may be integrated in line with the mission requirements. For instance, the 710 Kobra is a heavy-duty, multi-mission robot designed by American robot maker iRobot Defense & Security (now Endeavor Robotics Holdings) to provide increased safety and mission effectiveness for soldiers, first responders, and security personnel. In April 2020, Draganfly Inc., a Canada-based manufacturer of drone and UAV technologies, acquired Dronelogics Systems Inc. for USD 1.74 million.
