Companiesandmarkets.com: Airborne ISR Still Viewed as Critical Force Multipliers by Governments

LONDON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The 2011 market for airborne ISR is worth over £17.3 billion, including upgrades and acquisitions, according to a new report available on companiesandmarkets.com. Despite cuts in funding, airborne ISR is still supported financially by many governments, due to the competitive advantages it provides during conflict situations.

Airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) assets are considered vital to military operations as they provide considerable advantages in terms of information, knowledge and awareness.

However, as the world's economies fight their way out of recession, many military and defence budgets are facing cuts and airborne ISR assets are not exempt from rationalisation.

In addition to defence spending cuts, other factors influencing the market include the planned withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and the shift to multimission and unmanned systems.

Airborne ISR submarkets (by role) include: Airborne Early Warning (AEW), Airborne Ground Surveillance (AGS), Maritime Patrol (MP) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). Of these sub-segments, it is AGS which dominates, although MP is forecast to experience robust growth throughout the reporting period.
