Executive Summary

Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) encompass both hardware and software systems designed to procure accurate and real-time intelligence on adversary forces, employing advanced technologies to identify and mitigate potential threats. The primary objective of airborne ISR is to gather information about enemy activities, observing their behavior and monitoring their movements. The strategic utilization of ISR data can offer early warning of potential threats, enabling military forces to enhance their efficiency and coordination.

The key components of airborne ISR solutions include systems, software, and services. Airborne ISR systems involve the integration of hardware into military and civilian aircraft, facilitating on-board and off-board collection of targeting data for customized airborne mission systems. Deployed on military aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned systems, these solutions serve defense and homeland security purposes, supporting activities such as search and rescue operations, border and maritime patrol, target acquisition and tracking, critical infrastructure protection, and tactical support.

This airborne ISR market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The airborne isr market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $28.31 billion in 2023 to $30.34 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as military conflicts, geopolitical tensions, increased defense budgets, the threat of terrorism, and government initiatives.

The airborne isr market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by a growing demand for persistent surveillance, economic expansion, environmental monitoring, and an increase in military modernization efforts. Key trends expected in this forecast period include the miniaturization of devices and the use of micro UAVs, the integration of autonomous and AI-enabled systems, the adoption of hyperspectral and multispectral imaging technologies, the utilization of space-based ISR, and advancements in data fusion and integration.

The growing threats of terror attacks are expected to drive the demand for airborne ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) systems. Terrorist attacks involve violence perpetrated by individuals or groups with the aim of instilling fear within the population and furthering specific political objectives. With an increase in such attacks globally, there is a heightened need for airborne ISR systems. Governments and various security agencies are investing significantly in technologically advanced systems to detect and prevent potential terrorist threats, aiming to maintain peace and security. Notably, data from the Institute for Economics and Peace in March 2023 indicated that terrorist attacks became more lethal in 2022, averaging 1.7 deaths per attack, up from 1.3 deaths per attack in 2021. This rise in the severity of attacks underlines the escalating need for airborne ISR systems and software to combat these threats effectively.

The increasing proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things) devices is poised to augment the growth of the airborne ISR market. IoT devices, which encompass a range of network-connected computing devices, can be integrated into airborne ISR systems to gather and transmit data from diverse sources like sensors, cameras, and other devices. According to a report by IoT Analytics in September 2021, the number of global IoT connections surged by 8% to reach 12.2 billion active endpoints. Projections suggest that by 2025, the number of IoT connections could surpass 30 billion, averaging nearly four IoT devices per person. This surge in IoT devices plays a crucial role in bolstering the growth of the airborne ISR market.

Rapid technological advancement represents a significant trend gaining traction within the airborne ISR market. Major companies operating in this sector are prioritizing the provision of advanced technological solutions to meet the escalating demands of end-users and solidify their market positions worldwide. These companies are integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, robotics, satellite systems, evidence reporting, geospatial reporting, quantum technology, and more into their airborne ISR services. For instance, in June 2021, CarteNav Solutions, a Canada-based situational solutions company, developed the AIMS-ISR mission system software. This software offers multi-sensor controls, geo-referenced moving maps, evidence reporting, SIGINT, custom mapping, and additional mission optimization solutions aimed at reducing human error while conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. This exemplifies the industry's commitment to leveraging sophisticated technology for enhanced data collection and analysis concerning an enemy's activities, movements, and strength.
