Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US DoD Unmanned Aerial System Market" report to their offering.

The Department of Defense (DoD) unmanned aerial systems (UAS) market is currently transitioning from procurement of new systems to providing support and upgrades for existing systems. There will be few new start programs over the next decade, creating intense competition for them between the top UAS companies in the market.

Program funding is derived from the DoD FY 2015 president's budget, and contract data is based on FY 2014 UAS-related contract obligations taken from the Federal Procurement Database System. The base year is 2013 and forecasts span 2014 to 2019.
