Research and Markets: Battlefield UAS: Market Analysis and Outlook (2009-2019) Report States That Market Remains in a Fulfillment Phase

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and
Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/44989d/battlefield_uas_m) has
announced the addition of the "Battlefield UAS: Market Analysis and Outlook
(2009-2019)" report to their offering.

This report is a detailed 11-year world acquisition spending analysis. The
report cuts through Nano, Micro, Mini and Close Range Unmanned Aerial System
(UAS) categories, with the intention of forecasting UAS that could readily
contribute to forward deployed situational awareness during the forecast period.
In compiling the research G2 Solutions downselected to 98 UAS from a preliminary
list of more than 950 acknowledged programs.

The downselect process took into account variables such as: host government
support, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) endurance, range and MTOW, domestic and
international sales potential, technological risk, payload modularity, system
status, confirmed and pending orders, system growth potential and finally its
ability to contribute to Platoon or Company level situational awareness.

The market remains in a fulfilment phase, with programs such as RQ-11, RQ-14 and
RQ-16 accounting for hundreds of millions of acquisition revenues through 2019.
With these three programs, U.S. based AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) has a
commanding market presence, with close to 60 percent of installed-base revenues.
"Programs such as Raven, Wasp, Dragon Eye and Puma have made AeroVironment the
defacto incumbent on a wide range of U.S. DoD battlefield UAS," said Ron
Stearns, Research Director for G2 Solutions. "The recompete cycles for these
programs, in addition to UAS requests that fell under Future Combat Systems will
have a profound effect on market share and deliveries through 2019."

DoD deliveries on programs of record will ebb after 2011, with the exception of
the Honeywell (NYSE:HON) RQ-16 MAV. This report forecasts a new DoD acquisition
cycle with deliveries commencing in 2017, assuming a continuing presence in
Southwest Asia.
