comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast and dollar values of global
remote weapon station market. According to the report the global remote weapon
station market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period
of 2018-2024.
Remote weapon station is also
popularly known as Remote weapon system (RWS). It is remotely operated
weaponized system often equipped with a surveillance system and fire control
system for light-medium caliber weapons. These weapons systems can be installed
on ground combat vehicles, air-based combat platforms or sea-based combat
platforms. These types of equipment are mounted on modern military vehicles or
may also be retrofitted onto existing vehicles and can also be integrated with
a grenade launcher. The interface and operating software permit the weapon
system to be changed within minutes. The armaments such as machines guns to
grenade launcher are automatically detected and the weapon station adapts it's
ballistic accordingly. The weapon station consists of a sophisticated weapon
tower featuring electro-optical sights and allows the system to be operated
from inside the vehicle with a high degree of precision to protect the gunner
from being exposed.
The key factor contributing to the
growth of the remote weapon station market is increasing deployment of remote
weapon stations on combat vehicles. This remote weapon station provides many
benefits such as it provides fast and accurate aim and fire capabilities with
high precision, also it can be integrated with existing technologies and
infrastructure, seamless & convenient human-machine interface and provides
minimal risk to the operator. In addition, the rising number of cross border
conflicts and terrorist activities are fueling the remote weapon station
market. Also, the on-ongoing military modernization program is augmenting the
growth of the market. However, mobility, maintenance, potential faults,
reloading are some of the few examples of the downsides of having a remote
weapon station (RWS), these downsides can act as a restraint for the growth of
the market. Improvement in accuracy, the range of the weapons and safety of the
gunner, development of Spot and Shoot weapons and increase in military budgets
are some of the factors that can create lucrative opportunities for the remote
weapon station market in upcoming years.
Among the Geographies, North America is the leading region in the remote weapon station market, followed by Europe. The U.S accounts for the major market share in the North America region owing to the highest defense expenditures. The U.S spends around 3.3% of its GDP on defense expenditures. According to a trusted source, In 2015 US defense spending outstripped that of China, Russia, UK, France, Japan, Saudi Arabia and India combined. The U.S is expected to remain dominant in the remote station weapon market throughout the forecast period, 2018-2024. In 2017, U.S president Trump had announced plans to increase the U.S defense budget in 2018 by $ 54 billion dollars in order to rebuild the depleted military of the U.S. Countries like Russia, U.K, and France are leading countries contributing to the growth of the Europe remote weapon station market. Furthermore, Countries like Saudi Arabia, India, and some South American countries are offering lucrative growth opportunities for the remote weapon station market in upcoming years on account of increase in the defense budget and initiatives taken by the government to modernize the military.
