The airborne sensors industry will experience rapid growth, owing primarily to the increased use of airborne sensors in the defense sector. Airborne sensors can help military missions with surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance collection. Furthermore, the rise in terrorist attacks in various countries is expected to drive the market for airborne sensors. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the United States increased defense investment by approximately 6.6% in 2019 compared to 2018, and China increased investment by approximately 6.6% in 2019. These factors will increase demand for innovative solutions for the military and defense sectors, potentially driving the global airborne sensors market during the forecast period.
A notable key factor that can restrain the market of airborne sensors globally is the high cost investment in infrastructure and research & development because there are some technical standards and certification by aviation safety agencies for manufacturing of airborne sensors. Such factors are expected to create a negative impact on the airborne sensors market during the forecast period.
According to the regional outlook, the Asia-Pacific airborne sensors market is expected to create massive growth opportunities for market investors by growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the review period.
Airborne sensors are mounted on aircraft to capture images of the earth's surface. These sensors are extremely useful in a wide range of applications, including defense, agriculture, forestry, the environment, mining, mapping & surveying, infrastructure & urbanization, and much more. Furthermore, airborne sensors can provide images with a spatial resolution of 20 cm or less. Airplanes, UAS (Unmanned Aerial System), helicopters, high-altitude aircraft, and free-floating balloons are examples of airborne platforms. These platforms can range from slow-moving aircraft to low-flying aircraft that hover at less than 30,000 feet. Slow-moving aircrafts with light twin or single engines are useful for capturing large-scale images of the surface. Fast-moving aircrafts also include jets or twin-engine turboprops, which are used to capture images over a large area. Some fascinating facts about airborne platforms include the fact that they provide 50 km of remote sensing data, which is used to obtain pinpoint locations and atmospheric data. Furthermore, reports on infrastructure maintenance, agriculture, mapping, emergency response, and environmental monitoring are included in the remote sensing data.
The global airborne sensors market is expected to grow slowly in comparison to previous years during the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to disruptions in supply chains and factory shutdowns. The government and businesses both launched initiatives to combat or mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic. For example, the United States military announced in November 2020 that it is developing airborne sensors capable of detecting pathogens and viruses such as COVID-19 in minutes or seconds. The project's name is SenSARS, and its main goal is to develop a sensor that can monitor the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the air for public health safety. All these factors are expected to accelerate the growth of the market in the forecast period and new developments in upcoming years.
There were several companies that were completely operational during the pandemic. For instance, in May 2020, Hexagon announced that they are completely operational during the coronavirus pandemic and their HxGN Content Program is helping the U.S. government & other NGOs for monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak by providing aerial images that can be used in geo-information, data products, create maps, and view the objects on street level. Thus, demand for airborne sensors is expected to rise in the upcoming years. These key factors may generate investment opportunities in the airborne sensors market.
The airborne sensors industry will expand rapidly, owing to increased use of airborne sensors in the defense sector. Airborne sensors can aid military missions by collecting surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance data. Furthermore, the rise in terrorist attacks in various countries is expected to drive the market for airborne sensors. Battlespace situational awareness is critical for defense forces because it allows them to track enemy movements and decipher hidden information. It is also crucial for detecting adversarial threats in complex operational environments. The nature of the challenges confronting defense forces around the world has changed dramatically. Situational awareness has become critical to ensuring the security of defense personnel in the increasingly networked digital and data-heavy battlespace. Sensor systems such as airborne sensors are increasingly being used by military forces to improve the capabilities of defense equipment. Airborne sensors provide defense forces with instantaneous and continuous coverage of the entire battlefield by providing full-motion videos and intuitive operator interfaces to gain real-time situational awareness.
Furthermore, to carry out defense missions, modern military systems rely heavily on complex software and interconnectivity. Advanced features of cyber-enabled military systems, such as digital attack, airborne sensors systems, and communication systems, start giving equipped armed services a strategic advantage against the implacable enemy force or even during key processes in a harsh atmosphere. Therefore, all such aspects and developments are projected to gain traction for airborne sensors.

There are many crucial applications of for airborne sensors for multiple industries, although they are facing issues such as high cost associated with the deployment of airborne sensors is further anticipated to decrease the demand airborne sensors system, which may eventually decline the global market growth, during the forecast period. Due to the high cost of UAVs, their adoption is limited to developed nations with large defense budgets. During the forecast period, this factor is expected to impede the growth of the global airborne sensors market. Also, strict government rules for aviation safety are further anticipated to obstruct the global market growth, in the forecast period.
The airborne sensors industry has expanded its reach into a variety of commercial sectors, including construction, mining, power supply, and agriculture for crop monitoring, pipeline, power line mapping, and geographical survey. Furthermore, it is useful in the public safety and security sector in firefighting operations and law enforcement for investigation. Furthermore, the global airborne sensors industry is expanding rapidly as a result of increased R&D and technological expansion by industry leaders such as Thales Group. Thales Group, for example, announced in August 2020 the launch of I-Master, an airborne surveillance radar. Radar has a ground and maritime moving target indication mode that can track the movement from land to sea in real time. As a result, it is the ideal type of surveillance in a shore environment. In the coming years, this type of product development and innovation could provide lucrative opportunities for the global airborne sensors market.
Furthermore, key market participants are pursuing strategies to innovate the combination of airborne sensors and signal intelligence technology. For example, IAI, a leader in the defense, aerospace, and commercial markets, has launched ELTA's ELl-3001 airborne signal intelligence system, which is the mission platform designed for modern theatre electronic signal warfare challenges. The system provides high-endurance and long-range signal intelligence (SIGINT) missions, as well as tactical and strategic intelligence on board and on the ground for real-time and off-line analysis. Thus, such factors create an opportunity to gain major pull in the coming years for airborne sensors market.
