Loitering munitions, a distinct niche of a broader military UAV market, emerge as a tactical weapon of choice and budget conscious solution for militaries around the world. The very concept of a disposable drone brings to the market a drove of interesting tactical and technical solutions, mission-wise, integration-wise, engine-wise, payload-wise and operation-wise. Though the loitering munitions concept had been around for decades, it was the Israeli defense industry that actively developed and brought it to the wider market. Despite the current Israeli lead in the field, other military powers, both large powerful and small regional are increasingly looking to expand their loitering munition capabilities both through acquisition and national development.
The report forecasts the robust (two-digit) growth rate of the loitering munitions market, with incremental improvement in endurance, payload capacity and reach in all size groups.
The report analyzes latest trends and developments in the loitering munition market:
- Wankel engines to power loitering munitions – marriage made in heaven;
- Disposability factor as a driving force in improving operational characteristics;
- Lifecycle: Missile-UAV-Missile;
- Loitering munitions as swarm warfare, focus on swarm-oriented command and control platforms;
- Autonomy: GPS plus inertial navigation, Fire-and-forget, weaponization of AI, edge computing;
- Payloads: low cost ISR sensors, mission-defined warheads (anti-tank, fragmentation or thermobaric);
- Proliferation of loitering munitions in local low tech conflicts;
- Emergence of IED-class drones
- Low procurement costs, low maintenance and operational simplicity drive adoption by budget-constrained militaries.
The report provides detailed year-by-year forecasts (2019-2024) for the following loitering munition market segments:
