What are the key forces behind the anti-aircraft warfare market's growth in recent years?

The increasing threat from unmanned aerial systems is expected to propel the growth of the anti-aircraft warfare market going forward. Unmanned aerial systems refer to aircraft operated without a human pilot onboard, controlled remotely, or autonomously. They are used for various purposes, including reconnaissance, surveillance, and, increasingly, combat missions. The rise in unmanned aerial threat systems is due to advancements in technology enabling cheaper, more accessible, and more effective reconnaissance and attack capabilities. Anti-aircraft warfare helps mitigate threats from unmanned aerial systems by employing systems designed to detect, track, and neutralize drones before they can reach their targets. For instance, in April 2022, according to Protect UK, a UK-based information-sharing platform, there were 181,166 registered drone pilots in the UK in 2022, with nearly 6,000 incidents involving drones reported to police. Only a small fraction (about 8%) of these reports constituted offenses. Around 11% (649 incidents) of all reports involved drones flying at or near airports, mostly within flight restriction zones. Therefore, the increasing threat from unmanned aerial systems is driving the growth of the anti-aircraft warfare market.
