The Global Airborne ISR Market 2009-2019

The Global Airborne ISR Market 2009-2019

Our latest defence report – The Global Airborne ISR Market 2009-2019 – covers the exciting opportunities presented by one of the defence industry’s growing markets. Our market study examines leading users of airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems, and explores the operational requirements which are driving global growth in this sector. We assess the commercial prospects and outlook for companies offering airborne ISR systems. This analytical report defines the current state of the airborne ISR systems market and discusses its potential for growth from 2009 onwards, with market forecasting at the global and national levels.
Based on our research, global government spending in 2009 on airborne ISR systems, both manned and unmanned, will total $16.4bn. We also analyse, quantify and forecast the manned and unmanned airborne ISR systems markets separately.
Worldwide, a multitude of factors are driving increased research, development, procurement and deployment of airborne ISR systems. The success of airborne ISR systems in Iraq and Afghanistan has reinforced their perceived importance and is increasing demand for further airborne ISR capability. A shortfall in persistent surveillance capability is also leading to increased interest in unmanned systems capable of loitering for hours or even days. Furthermore, the cancellation of the Satellite Based Radar (SBR) is also driving increased interest in airborne ISR platforms, both manned and unmanned.
There are an increasingly wide range of airborne ISR systems ranging from airliner based AWACS systems, to small turboprop aircraft, all the way down to lightweight hand launched micro UAV systems.
Within this report we analyse the following sub-sectors of the airborne ISR systems market -
- Manned airborne ISR platforms
- Unmanned airborne ISR platforms
- Rotary wing airborne ISR platforms
- Aerostat airborne ISR platforms
- Ground Control Stations (GCS)
- Remote Viewing Terminals (RVT)
- Electro-Optical / Infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems
- Radar systems

We examine the combination of factors that are driving the increased procurement and deployment of these airborne ISR systems by armed forces around the world. Military decision-makers are developing operational strategies to benefit from the latest technological breakthroughs in this sector. Over our forecast period, we identify the ISR capability gaps that armed forces are seeking to fill by increasingly deploying unmanned airborne ISR systems.
The increasing investment in airborne ISR systems, both manned and unmanned, has resulted in the market becoming one of the few recession-resistant sub-sectors of the defence industry. We expect the airborne ISR systems market to flourish from 2009 onwards, with significant rewards for successful companies.
How much are individual countries planning to spend on airborne ISR systems between 2009 and 2019? How are new technologies changing the nature of airborne ISR systems? Who are the leading companies providing airborne ISR systems and what is their market share? Where are the growth opportunities over the next decade – in which geographical region and with which technology? These critical questions and many more are definitively answered in this comprehensive report.
