Monday 4 May 2015, Amsterdam

The report recognizes the following companies as the key players in Global Autopilot Systems Market 2015-2019: FURUNO Electric Co., Garmin International, Inc., Genesys Aerosystems Group, Inc., Honeywell International, Inc. and Rockwell Collins Inc.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: 3D Robotics, Airware, BAE Systems Platform Solutions, Century Flight Systems, Cloud Cap Technology, ComNav Marine, DJI, MicroPilot, Navico, Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine, Raymarine, TMQ Electronics and Trimble Navigation.

The report said: “The autopilot landing system enables secure landing during harsh weather conditions and limited visibility. It is based on a microcontroller and helps pilots to land safely on sea surfaces, in deserts, and in difficult climate zones. Various sensors in the microcontroller system are used for safer landing in degraded environments such as a brownout or whiteout and in night operations. The system includes distance measurement and autopilot landing, unlike the manual system where only distance measurement is included. All these benefits help to increase demand for autopilot landing systems in the market.”

According to the report, a rise in the number of aircraft and marine vehicles has led to an increase in demand for the automation of processes to reduce human error and ensure accurate navigation. The introduction of modern technologies such as intelligent software systems in aviation industries has helped increase efficiency. Automation enables the completion of a job, which affects the "operator" whose task shifts from being the "performer" to being the "process checker". The automation of processes will foster market growth during the forecast period.

Further, the report states that a rise in demand for the automation of software systems will trigger market growth.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
