 What Are the Key Trends Shaping the Combat Drone Market?
 Major companies operating in the combat drone market focus on autonomous unmanned aircraft systems to meet the growing demand for combat drones. An autonomous uncrewed aircraft system, or drone, is an advanced technology used in various applications such as surveillance, security, and force protection. For instance, in September 2023, Anduril Industries, a US-based defense technology company, launched the Ghost-X system, an upgraded version of its Ghost autonomous uncrewed aircraft system. The system can carry heavier payloads and fly for extended periods. The upgraded propulsion system allows it to take two batteries, extending its flight time to 75 minutes and doubling its payload capacity to 9 kilograms (20 pounds). Ghost-X also has an optional long-range communications kit and can be configured to fly a range of sensors and payloads, including electro-optical gimbals and a vision-based navigation module that allows it to fly without the global navigation satellite system.
