1 Executive Summary

The global UAV payload market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX%

The global UAV payload market is expected to value US$XX billion by the end of 2012, which is estimated to

increase to US$XX billion by 2022, representing a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. Market demand

is anticipated to be driven by increased UAV procurement by several countries across the world and

continuous requirement formulations in areas such as persistent surveillance, suppression/destruction of

enemy air defense (SEAD/DEAD), and communications relays and combat search and rescue (CSAR).

Another major factor that is expected to drive the market over the forecast period is the increasing

incorporation of UAVs in civilian applications such as Homeland Security, disaster management and border

surveillance. The global market is expected to achieve a cumulative value of US$XX billion during the forecast

period.

2 Global UAV Payload Market Size and Drivers

2.1 UAV Payload Market Size and Forecast 2012–2022

2.1.1 Global UAV payload market to show positive growth during the forecast period

The global UAV payload market valued US$XX billion in 2012 and is expected to increase at a CAGR of XX%

during the forecast period, to reach its peak of US$XX billion by 2022. The market consists of three

categories: radars and communication, sensors and detection, and weaponry. The radars and communication

segment is expected to account for XX% of the global UAV payload market, followed by the sensors and

detection segment with a share of XX%. The weaponry market will account for the remaining XX% market

share. During the forecast period, the cumulative global expenditure on UAV payload is expected to reach

US$XX billion.

2.2 Global UAV Payload Market – Regional Analysis

2.2.1 North America dominates the global UAV payload market

North America accounts for the highest spend in the global UAV payload market; the majority of expenditure

can be attributed to the US. The US DoD plans to increase its inventory of UAVs by XX% in the next ten years

from the existing XX units, which in turn will drive the payloads market. Focus towards the creation of network-

centric systems, and peacekeeping operations in Iraq and Afghanistan has pushed UAVs to the forefront of

ISR missions driving the growth of radars, and detection and electro optical sensing payload systems. In

addition, there is a significant change in the aerial combat activities of the US military with the new breeds of

Hunter-Killer UAVs, which catalyzes the demand for light and medium weight missiles and weaponry payload

systems.

These factors make North America the leading spender in the global UAV payload sector, accounting for XX%

of the global market. Europe and Asia-Pacific are also expected to account for a significant portion of the total

UAV payload market during the forecast period, with shares of XX% and XX%, respectively, largely driven by

the efforts of countries such as the UK, India, and China to modernize their armed forces. Latin America, the

Middle East, and Africa cumulatively account for XX% of global UAV payload expenditure.

2.3 UAV Payload Sub–Sector Market Size Composition

2.3.1 Radars and communication payloads expected to constitute the largest share of the UAV

payload market during the forecast period

UAVs carry a number of different payloads in accordance with varying mission requirements but radar and

communication payloads form the backbone of the navigation and information dissemination capabilities of

UAVs. As such this segment of UAV payload is expected to account for the majority of spending directed

towards UAV payload procurement. Spending in this segment is driven by technological advances that have

been achieved in the field of advanced radar technology and communication systems. Most of these

innovations focus on developing smaller and lighter versions of existing systems while improving their core

capabilities. An example is the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which is derived from the large AN/APY-7

system that equips the E-8 JSTARS. Technological advancements aimed at equipping UAVs with these

radars have led to the development of smaller mini-SAR, micro-SAR and pico-SAR devices such as the AESA

antenna SAR system from Selex Sensors and Airborne Systems that weighs less than 10 kg. It is expected

that with the growing demand for sophisticated UAV payloads, areas such as Synthetic Aperture Radar and

Signals Intelligence will witness rapid R&D investment resulting in widespread procurement. The North

American region is the largest spender in this category followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.
