Changing nature of warfare

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones, and autonomous weapons are offering new capabilities for reconnaissance, surveillance, and precision strikes. The rising adoption of UAVs for asymmetric and urban warfare is supporting the market growth. Conflicts in densely populated cities present unique challenges for military forces, such as concerns about collateral damage, civilian casualties, and infrastructure destruction. Additionally, urban warfare can take many forms, ranging from guerrilla attacks to militia patrols to gang violence. As per the Hindustan Times, on 31 January 2024, security forces have unearthed a 130 meter-long and 6-foot-deep tunnel constructed by Maoists in Chhattisgarh. These tunnels provide both offensive and defensive advantages in guerrilla warfare.

Increasing number of geopolitical tensions and security threats

There is a rise in the number of geopolitical tensions and security threats across the globe that are leading to fatalities. The Journal of Peace Research claims that fatalities from organized violence increased by 97% as compared to the previous year, from 120,000 in 2021 to 237,000 in 2022. Geopolitical tensions and threats are leading to the increasing need for enhanced surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Military drones and autonomous surveillance systems offer valuable intelligence gathering without harming human lives. They can monitor borders, track troop movements, and gather information on potential threats, thereby improving situational awareness and preparedness.
