Latest News- Directed Energy Weapons Market: Defense is expected to lead the Application segment during 2024-2028

The Directed Energy Weapons Market is being driven by Development and procurement of advanced technologies in directed energy weapons

The Directed Energy Weapons Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.4% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 5.31 billion. In the evolving landscape of global security, traditional bomber planes, once exclusively utilized for long-range air-to-surface attacks, have assumed new roles. The US military, for instance, has leveraged advanced technologies to conduct precision strikes from a distance, gaining a strategic edge over adversaries. Smart weapon systems, such as guided missiles and precision-guided munitions, enhance situational awareness with real-time data and analytics. Integrated communication systems (ICS) enable seamless information exchange between platforms, ensuring a coordinated and efficient response to emerging threats. This technological transformation in military aviation is redefining the role of bomber planes in modern warfare.

      Research Analysis Overview

      The Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand from the defense sector for advanced technology to counter diverse threats such as drone swarms, mortar rounds, and guided missiles. Two primary types of DEW are gaining attention: Electromagnetic rail guns and High-energy lasers. Electromagnetic rail guns use electric current to accelerate a projectile to high velocities, while High-energy lasers use concentrated beams of light to destroy targets. Industry partners are collaborating with military organizations to develop laser weapon solutions for various applications. For instance, the U.S. Army is testing a laser weapon system on the Stryker vehicle, which can engage targets in the visible and infrared spectrums. High-powered microwave weapons and solid-state lasers are also under development, offering potential advantages in terms of cost, size, and power efficiency. The defense sector's exchange of knowledge and resources with industry partners is driving the advancement of DEW technology for military purposes. Defense projects, such as the U.S. Navy's Laser Weapon System Demonstrator, showcase the potential of DEW to protect against diverse threats and contribute to the overall defense strategy.
