Military Sensors Market Dynamics

Military Sensors Market Drivers

Defence Forces are Increasingly Demanding Battlespace Awareness

  • Battlespace situational awareness is critical for defence forces because it allows them to track enemy movements and decode secret information. It is also critical for detecting hostile threats in complex operations.
  • The nature of the issues confronting military forces around the world has changed dramatically. Situational awareness has become crucial to ensure the protection of defence personnel in the increasingly networked digital and data-heavy battlespace. Sensor systems such as Electro-Optics/Infrared (EO/IR) sensors and accompanying data processors are increasingly being used by armed forces to improve the capabilities of defence equipment. 
  • EO/IR systems provide defence troops with instantaneous and continuous surveillance of the whole battlefield by providing full-motion videos and intuitive operator interfaces to gain real-time situational awareness.

Restraints

Lack of Accuracy and Operational Difficulties in MEMS Inertial Navigation Sensors

  • MEMS inertial navigation sensors' limited accuracy limits their performance and usability in applications that demand extremely accurate information. Alternative technologies, such as Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs) and Fibre Optic Gyros (FOGs), are more dependable than MEMS inertial navigation sensors because they produce more accurate readings. RLGs integrate optical frequency generation and rotation sensing functions into a ring-shaped cavity laser oscillator. 
  • FOGs work on the basis of optical fibres that have been tuned to a single frequency of light that is being propagated. An external force is applied to modify the direction of light, and hence the frequency of the propagated light.
