[197 Pages Report] The Military Electro-optical & Infrared System Market size was estimated at USD 13.22 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 14.22 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.13% to reach USD 22.87 billion by 2030.
Military electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems are a type of technology used by the military for various purposes, including surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting, and situational awareness. EO/IR systems contribute to the safety and effectiveness of military operations by enabling military personnel to recognize better and respond to the risks and opportunities in their surroundings. Military EO/IR systems are required for improved situational awareness due to the growing awareness of territorial conflicts and border issues. These systems are utilized to increase the precision and accuracy of military operations by assembling them on various military platforms, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). On the other hand, military EO/IR systems are vulnerable to camouflage capabilities and electronic interference and experience performance issues in extreme weather conditions. However, as an opportunity, aerostats equipped with EO/IR systems are using types of intelligence, such as human intelligence or signals intelligence, to improve the efficiency of military operations by decreasing the reliance on EO/IR equipment for target identification.
System: Rapid proliferation of advanced imaging and targeting systems for precision engagement in complex battlefields
Electronic Support Measure (ESM) System are primarily designed for electronic warfare support functions. These systems detect, intercept, identify, locate, and analyze sources of radiated electromagnetic energy for threat recognition. They are crucial for defensive and offensive strategies, providing situational awareness. Imaging systems capture and process images in visible, infrared, and ultraviolet spectrums. These systems play pivotal roles in surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition, offering day-night and adverse weather operation capabilities. Targeting systems are complex assemblies integrating various sensors, aiming devices, and fire-control software to identify, track, and engage targets. They are essential for precision strike capabilities and enhance the accuracy and lethality of military operations.
Platform: Integration of EO/IR systems across all domains for ensuring comprehensive situational awareness
Air-Based Electro-Optical & Infrared Systems are utilized for surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition from aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These systems are crucial for gaining superior situational awareness and conducting precision strikes. The need for air-based EO/IR systems is primarily driven by their ability to cover vast areas quickly and provide real-time data from a bird’s-eye view. Land-based EO/IR systems include handheld devices, vehicle-mounted units, and fixed installations used for border security, battlefield surveillance, and target acquisition. These systems are essential for ground forces, providing enhanced night vision capabilities, target identification, and long-range surveillance to operate in diverse environments and under varying light conditions.
Sea-based EO/IR systems are deployed on naval vessels, including destroyers, frigates, and aircraft carriers, as well as on some maritime patrol aircraft. They are utilized for surveillance, search and rescue operations, and target tracking in maritime environments. The need for these systems is driven by the requirement for situational awareness in vast and complex maritime domains, enabling navies to track both surface and airborne threats.
