Requirements from DoD & Government demands for increased spending year over year. In 2021, $7.5 billion was budgeted for a variety of robotic platforms and related Air – Land – Water (UxV) technologies. Unmanned Aircraft Systems future spending estimates are $10.6 billion annually and projected to be $13 billion in 2030. Military R&D is projected to add another $65 billion over 10 years. Unmanned Ground (UGV), Underwater (U...

Military UAV’s Create Multiple-Mission Opportunities for Industry Military spending for this technology is expected to grow as an overall percentage of large military budgets, such as the United States’ and Chinese defense budget, offering specialized drone manufacturers and software developers a tremendous opportunity. While drones will never completely replace soldiers, this debate is becoming less important in the current strate...

DoD has reported an expected Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) growth rate between 2015 and 2035. It is expected that federal agency UAS fleets will grow from a few hundred to approximately 10,000, with over 90 percent of these vehicles categorized as Nano, Micro, or Small UAS. In all cases, the UAS is the transport for the payload, be it sensors or cargo. The number and type of UAS developed, acquired, and deployed will be driven by mission ne...

Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Remotely Piloted Aircraft have seen a golden age in the last decade growing to an annual budget of $7 billion. Most of this growth has been through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but with the drawing down of troops, what’s next? Analysts still predict growth in this industry, estimating a total increase to just over $89 billion in the next decade. Not only is the military expected to sustain its backing...
