The global anti-drone market is estimated to account for US$ 1,189.1 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2022. Anti-drone systems are an increasingly needed tool in the global security landscape. As commercial drones become more prevalent and potentially dangerous, the need for effective counter-drone systems will increase. These systems will help authorities detect and disable rogue drones, or takeover unmanned aerial vehicles. Anti-drone technologies are of different types, however, none of them are a complete solution. Despite the numerous problems associated with drones, these devices are proving to be effective for law enforcement and military forces. Anti-drone systems use jammers to disrupt drone communications, preventing pilots from interacting with the device. Using jammers to disable drone communications can be very effective in protecting civilians and military.
Global Anti-Drone Market: Drivers
Increasing investment in laser-based anti-drone systems and growing use of drones for leisure and professional applications is expected to propel growth of the global anti-drone market during the forecast period. Laser systems can cause damage to the cameras in UAVs and are also capable of disabling these cameras temporarily. These systems can also make rogue drones land forcibly by altering its downward sensors. The need for eliminating rogue drones the moment they inhibit is increasing around the world, which is driving the demand for laser-based anti-drone systems. This in turn is likely to fuel the market growth.
