Recent global conflicts have underscored the widespread use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in military scenarios. This rapid proliferation of UAS has introduced new threats, such as unauthorized surveillance, privacy breaches, airspace obstruction, and the potential use of drones for carrying destructive payloads.
In response to these challenges, there is an urgent need for effective counter-UAS (C-UAS) technology. Countries are increasingly procuring systems for detection, identification, tracking, alerting, jamming, spoofing, and neutralization of rogue drones. The global market for C-UAS technology is expected to quadruple between 2021 and 2031.
The latest visual guide from IDGA outlines how the American Counter-UAS (C-UAS) market is responding to the rise of drones flying in U.S. airspace. The guide provides insights into the following:
