New Report on Global UAS Indigenous Programs

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global UAS Indigenous Programs " report to their offering.

Indigenous unmanned aerial system (UAS) development and manufacturing capabilities are advancing rapidly worldwide. North America and Europe lead the world in technological capabilities, along with Israel. While those regions will continue to build on the successes of advanced UAS programs, countries in Asia, the Middle East, and South America will provide significant competition for international UAS programs in military and commercial markets. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the current indigenous UAS manufacturing capabilities by global region and estimate the future capabilities for countries that show potential but are not currently leaders in the market.

Executive Summary

• Indigenous unmanned aerial system (UAS) development and manufacturing capabilities are advancing rapidly, worldwide.
• North America and Europe lead the world in technological capabilities along with Israel. While those regions will continue to build on the successes of advanced UAS programs, countries in Asia, the Middle East, and South America will provide significant competition for international UAS programs in military and commercial markets.
• UAS-related partnerships between established market leaders and companies in growing markets will accelerate indigenous capabilities. Specific countries seeking to establish more robust defense industrial bases through partnerships include Brazil, India, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
• Barriers to growing indigenous UAS capabilities are centered around subsystems and sensors rather than the platforms themselves.
• By 2024, China will be a UAS market leader, along with the US, Europe, and Israel, in both military and commercial applications. While Chinese payloads may not be as advanced as the other market leaders, customers that cannot purchase from other market leaders due to trade restrictions will line up to pay for some capability rather than no capability at all.
