Drone Navigation System Market: Introduction
- Drone navigation system can be referred to as a system or the brain of a drone that is used to control the flight of a drone.
- The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) of drone comprises gyroscopes and accelerometers that provide data on linear acceleration across three axes and the measurements of pitch, roll, and yaw. This data is further used by the flight controller for navigational information and ensure smooth flight capabilities.
- This system works in tandem with an embedded data link system and drone flight management system to control the attitude and heading of a drone effectively
- There are three types of drone navigation systems: autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remotely operated. Drones are used in national security applications such as civil & commercial and military.
Rise in Demand for Drone Navigation System in Defense Industry
- Rise in application of drones in surveillance to understand and enhance awareness about the location is a major factor that is anticipated to drive the market
- Ongoing R&D activities to improve sensors on the drones are likely to provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the next few years
- Increase in adoption of drones by defence industries due to their effective data capturing ability and stealth capabilities are expected to drive the drone navigation system market during the forecast period
Asia Pacific to Lead Global Drone Navigation System Market
- In terms of region, the global drone navigation system market can be divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa
- North America accounts for a notable share of the global drone navigation systems market, due to the high usage of drones by the defense forces in the U.S. Drones are increasingly being used in North America for various applications including aerial photography, border security, law enforcement, weather research, emergency response, forest fire monitoring, scientific data collection, logistics and last-mile delivery, and traffic monitoring and control.
- Asia Pacific is anticipated to follow North America, in terms of share of the global market, owing to the rising tension amongst neighbouring countries in the region. Countries such as India, South Korea, Japan, and China are increasing their defense budgets in order to strengthen their respective national security.
