LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global airborne weapon delivery systems market report. This research report also lists four other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Since the last several decades, major defense spenders like the US, Russia, China, and the UK have made substantial investments in the development and procurement of next-generation airborne platforms, which can augment their attack and defense capabilities. The growing territorial disputes between countries have increased the focus on acquiring deep strike capabilities, necessitating defense agencies to acquire long-endurance attack platforms.

Competitive vendor landscape

The global airborne weapon delivery systems market is highly fragmented with the presence of many prominent players competing for market share. Due to strict safety and regulatory norms, along with the requirements for substantial investment, the entry of new vendors is anticipated to get restricted during the forecast period.

“Due to the rapid adoption of unmanned combat aerial vehicles and multirole aircraft, the demand for weapon delivery systems and equipment has led to substantial investments in the technology across the globe,” says Moutushi Saha, a lead defense research analyst from Technavio.

Companies with superior technical and financial resources can bring substantial changes in the existing payloads and subsystems. This will help them realize the development costs in a shorter development cycle time. Small companies can establish collaborations to compete with existing prominent vendors.
