Military drone refers to unmanned aerial vehicles that are specifically used for military purposes such as border surveillance, battle damage management, combat operations, communication, delivery, and anti-terrorism weaponry. The main types of military drones are fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and hybrid. A fixed-wing drone is a plane that doesn't have a human pilot on board. Fixed-wing UAVs can be commanded remotely by a human or autonomously by onboard systems. The different types of drones include MALE, HALE, TUAV, UCAV, SUAV and involve various technologies such as remotely operated, semi-autonomous, autonomous. It is used in search and rescue, national defense, military exercises, and others. The global military drones market is segmented - 1) By Drone Type: MALE, HALE, TUAV, UCAV, SUAV 2) By Type: Fixed-Wing, Rotary Wing, Hybrid 3) By Technology: Remotely Operated, Semi-Autonomous, Autonomous 4) By Application: Search and Rescue, National Defense, Military Excercises, Others The global military drones market size will grow from $14.54 billion in 2022 to $15.88 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. 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 drones is expected to grow to $20.64 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.8%. Increasing government funding for military drones to enhance efficiency in military operations boosts the demand for the production of military drones. For instance, in May 2021, according to an article published by the National Defense Industrial Association, a US-based trade association for the United States’ government and defense industry, in fiscal year 2021, the US Defense Department allotted $7.5 billion for a range of robotic platforms and associated technologies. For the purchase of unmanned systems, the Navy and Air Force each received about $1.1 billion, the Army received $885 million, the Marine Corps $70 million, and SOCOM $90 million. Hence, the increasing government spending on unmanned drones is driving the military drone market demand. Major players in the military drones market report are Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, AeroVironment, General Atomics, Textron, Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Thales, China Aerospace Science And Technology Corporation. Production and delivery are the two factors likely to limit the development of the military drone market during 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak impacted the supply chains for various industries, including the auto industry, electronics industry, food industry, pharma industry, and defense industry across the globe. Many manufacturing plants are operating at minimal capacities or have shut down their operations completely. 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. Duke Robotics is a cross-disciplinary association of research labs and teaching faculty conducting world-class research and training future generations of thinkers and creators.

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. Border security robots that are based on hybrid wireless sensor networks were introduced to address concerns about national 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. With the acquisition, the two businesses are expected to diversify their drone manufacturing technology. The product offerings and engineering advancements of Draganfly are perfectly complemented by Dronelogics.
