According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Remote Weapon Station Market is accounted for $6.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $8.7 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. Using precise imaging systems and operating from a secure remote position, remote weapon stations (RWS) enable soldiers to identify and engage targets safely and accurately while minimising collateral damage. They are used in open-warfare situations. It consists of shooting units, remote controls, optical and imaging systems, acoustic devices, and other improvements. In ground vehicles, ships, and planes, remote weapon stations are utilised. They can be installed in an offensive unit that is in motion or that is fixed.

According to the Mittler Report Verlag GmbH article, a Germany-based journal website, approximately 23 countries are using the PROTECTOR family of RWS (remote weapon stations) that range from 5.56 mm MG up to 30 mm cannon and anti-tank guided weapons) to enhance their nation’s security.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising international, peacekeeping and humanitarian aid operations

The rise in international hostilities, peacekeeping missions, and humanitarian aid operations is driving the global remote weapon station industry. This constantly poses a threat to civilian and defence assets around the world. In addition, an increase in enemy use of UAVs for geolocation exposes army positions, posing a greater threat to army assets. Countries are placing weapon stations in conflict-prone locations, where soldiers represent a major threat to civilian life, to prevent such events. All of these elements are anticipated to fuel the growth of the global market for remote weapon stations.

Restraint:

High price of remote weapon stations

Inversely, countries with smaller military budgets tend to choose to station soldiers at borders and other critical locations due to financial limitations. Therefore, it is anticipated that the high price of remote weapon stations will restrain the market's expansion. Additionally, it is expected that the market growth for remote weapon stations is substantially constrained by the higher development costs and capitalization.

Opportunity:

Growth in modernization of defence forces

During the projected period, the widespread use of effective weapon systems and the modernization of the defence forces will create lucrative opportunities for the remote weapon station market to grow. Additionally, developing nations like India, China, the US, UK, Germany, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and a variety of other countries are stepping up their investments in the remote weapon stations sector, which is anticipated to propel the market growth for remote weapon stations.

Threat:

Unstable and difficulty in usage

The significant market firms are introducing new innovations into the market, including technologies like RWS, which is believed to be the most practical choice to provide the ultimate defensive firepower. However, due to their difficult installation and use, manned turrets have been adopted by the military as a substitute. The integration of reducing technologies and sensor systems, as well as the unstable nature of modernised equipment, are considered the major hurdles for developers and, consequently, the major obstacles to the overall expansion of the market for remote weapon stations.

Covid-19 Impact:

Throughout the epidemic, the market for remote weapon systems has expanded rapidly. Globally, the military industry had difficulties due to lockdowns, such as production halts and postponed defence force procurement contracts. On the other hand, other nations, including China, the U.S., and others, have boosted their defence spending and increased their purchases of modern weapons. The global defence sector has resumed investing in the creation of cutting-edge remote weapon systems as it recovers from the COVID-19 impact.

The lethal weapons segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

In terms of weapon type, the lethal weapon category dominates the remote weapon station market over the projected period. Lethal weapons installed on remote weapon stations in multi-weapon configurations provide a variety of benefits, including modularity, quick reconfigurability, ease of integration, simplicity of operation, and ease of training. The increase in demand for efficient long-range weapons supports this.

The land segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Due to the RWS's inclusion in the land segment, which includes stationary RWS mounted on land vehicles, the land segment is predicted to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Additionally, the need for remotely operated stationary weapon stations to safeguard vulnerable areas has grown as attacks on military outposts and bases have escalated increasingly.

Region with largest share:

Due to the fact that the United States and Canada are major users of remote weapon systems in North America, the region is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. They are actively concentrating on improving the capabilities of their fleet of current vehicles. Moreover, with a defence budget of USD 801 billion, the United States has been substantially modernising its current weapon systems. The American Army issued a request for proposals for the purchase of mobile and stationary platforms with remote weapon systems installed.

Region with highest CAGR:

Because of the substantial funding invested in creating cutting-edge technological weapons that incorporate remote weapon stations, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to have the highest CAGR in the market for remote weapon stations and will retain its trend of dominance during the forecast period. Additionally, the market is anticipated to rise as a result of the defence services' increased spending on research and development.
