<strong>Military</strong> <strong>Drones</strong> <strong>Market</strong> <strong>Size</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

<strong>2016</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>2022</strong>: Radiant Insights, Inc<br />

<strong>Military</strong> drones are flying cameras <strong>and</strong> flying weapons that can be remotely controlled.<br />

<strong>Military</strong> drones are being used for lifting cameras above the ground so every person who<br />

wants it can use a camera <strong>to</strong> rise above the earth <strong>to</strong> look down from above can do military<br />

surveillance. Each drone can choose thous<strong>and</strong>s of vantage points, extending military<br />

strategic visualization beyond what has previously been possible.<br />

The military drones are able <strong>to</strong> achieve terrorist control tasks. They have been evolving air<br />

camera integration for surveillance systems capability. They are used for surveillance,<br />

reconnaissance <strong>and</strong> intelligence missions. They do 3D mapping <strong>and</strong> support ground<br />

troops. These are more energy efficient, last longer <strong>and</strong> have a significantly lower cost of<br />

operation than manned aircraft.<br />

Drone aircraft are sophisticated <strong>and</strong> flexible. They take off, fly <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> au<strong>to</strong>nomously.<br />

They enable engineers <strong>to</strong> push the envelope of normal flight. Reconnaissance drones can<br />

fly for days continuously. Remote, ground-based pilots can work in shifts.<br />

<strong>Drones</strong> are set <strong>to</strong> make every industry more productive with better, more flexible<br />

visualization. Drone uses provide the prospect of trillions of dollars in economic growth.<br />

<strong>Drones</strong> connect seamlessly <strong>and</strong> securely <strong>to</strong> the Internet <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> each other.<br />

According <strong>to</strong> Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, “Use of military drones represents a<br />

key miles<strong>to</strong>ne in provision of value <strong>to</strong> every military in every country. Cus<strong>to</strong>mized camera<br />

configurations are used <strong>to</strong> take pho<strong>to</strong>s <strong>and</strong> videos with stunning accuracy <strong>and</strong> ideal<br />

representations of activity by an enemy.<br />

Digital controls further au<strong>to</strong>mate flying, making ease of use <strong>and</strong> flight stability a reality.<br />

New materials <strong>and</strong> new designs are bringing a transformation of military drones forward.<br />

With further innovation, continued growth of military drone markets is assured.”<br />

The worldwide market for military drones at$4.4 billion worldwide in 2015 going <strong>to</strong> $6.8<br />

billion by <strong>2022</strong>. Multiple applications drive market growth, applications in surveillance<br />

<strong>and</strong> bombing terrorists. Lightweight military drones are used for visualization, attack


drones are used in all manner of military maneuver, military drones are used for<br />

infrastructure surveillance, aerial mapping, <strong>and</strong> logistics delivery.<br />
