Robotic Warfare Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Domain (Land, Marine, and Airborne), by Capability (Unmanned Platforms and Systems, Exoskeleton and Wearables, Target Acquisition Systems, and Turret and Weapon Systems), by Mode of Operation (Remotely Operated, Autonomous, and Semi-Autonomous), and by Application (Reconnaissance and surveillance, Combat, Logistics, and Search and Rescue) Forecast Period (2023-2030)

Published: Jan 2024 | Report Code: OMR2028033 | Category : Advanced Technologies | Delivery Format: /

Robotic Warfare market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Robotic warfare, also known as autonomous warfare or robotized warfare, refers to the use of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out military operations. This includes a wide range of systems, from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones to autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The Increasing Demand for Unmanned Platforms and Systems is one of the key drivers of the market. Unmanned platforms and systems, such as drones, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and unmanned underwater vehicles (AUVs), are becoming increasingly popular in the military due to their ability to perform dangerous or difficult missions without putting human soldiers at risk. These systems offer a number of advantages over traditional manned systems. Unmanned platforms can be programmed to carry out tasks with a high degree of precision. This is particularly beneficial for tasks such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strikes.  Unmanned platforms can be more cost-effective than traditional manned systems in the long run. This is because they require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan.

Segmental Outlook 

The global Robotic Warfare market is segmented on the Domain, Capability, Mode of Operation, and Application. Based on the domain, the market is sub-segmented into land, marine, and airborne. Based on the capability, the market is sub-segmented into unmanned platforms and systems, exoskeleton and wearables, target acquisition systems, and turret and weapon systems. Based, on the basis of mode of operation, the market is sub-segmented into remotely operated, autonomous, and semi-autonomous. Further, based on application the market is sub-segmented into reconnaissance and surveillance, combat, logistics, and search and rescue.

The Unmanned Platforms and Systems Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Robotic Warfare Market

Among the Capability, the Unmanned Platforms and Systems sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global robotic warfare market. This is primarily due to the increasing demand for unmanned systems, such as drones and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), for various military operations. These systems offer several advantages over traditional manned systems, such as the ability to perform dangerous or difficult missions without putting human soldiers at risk, and the ability to collect data from areas that would be too dangerous for humans to enter. Unmanned systems are increasingly being used for ISR missions, as they can provide a constant stream of data from areas that would be too dangerous or difficult for humans to access.

Unmanned platforms are equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and communication systems, enabling them to perform complex tasks such as target acquisition, damage assessment, and electronic warfare. For example, UGVs can be equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal imagers to navigate challenging terrains and identify potential threats. A real-life example of the use of unmanned platforms and systems in robotic warfare is the deployment of drones for airstrikes. Drones have been used to carry out targeted strikes against enemy combatants and infrastructure, with the advantage of reducing the risk of civilian casualties. For instance, the United States has employed drones for airstrikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.

Regional Outlook

The global Robotic Warfare market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe.  The United States has the world's largest defense budget, allowing it to procure and field a vast array of robotic warfare systems. This substantial investment has driven the growth of the market and established North America as a dominant player. North American companies have formed strategic partnerships with other leading defense contractors worldwide, expanding their reach and expertise in the global robotic warfare market. These partnerships have facilitated knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and joint development of advanced systems.

Global Robotic Warfare Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030

global robotic warfare market growth, by region

The European Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Robotic Warfare Market

Among all regions, the European region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of this region is due to various reasons. Modern warfare is becoming increasingly complex, with a greater emphasis on information warfare, cyberwarfare, and hybrid warfare. Robotic systems can help to address these challenges by providing 24/7 surveillance, collecting and analyzing data, and carrying out complex tasks. The use of robotic systems can help to reduce casualties by removing human soldiers from harm's way. This is especially important in urban warfare, where the risk of civilian casualties is high. Europe is facing a number of threats from its neighbors, including Russia, China, and Turkey. Robotic systems can help Europe maintain its military superiority by providing it with a technological edge over its adversaries. 

Europe is already using robotic systems for a variety of military applications, including reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA), explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and combat support. For example, the French military is using the TALON unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for RSTA missions, while the British military is using the Black Hornet nano-UAV for EOD missions.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the Robotic Warfare market include Boeing Co., General Dynamics Corp., Lockheed Martin Corp., Northrop Grumman, RTX Corp., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in May 2023, UAE’s EDGE acquired a majority stake in MARS Robotics at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA 2023). The deal handled EDGE an 80 percent ownership of MARS Robotics. According to the deal MARS Robotics will work closely with EDGE’s Advanced Concepts, which focuses on the rapid design, development, and deployment of advanced and innovative technologies.
