General Info

Unmanned Ground Vehicles - Sensors & Payloads - Markets & Technologies Outlook – 2012-2017 The new market and technology research examines, analyses and predicts the evolution of technologies, markets and outlays for the sensors and payloads that today are primarily used in military applications but are rapidly being adapted to non-military applications.

As in all dual-use high tech markets, non-military Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) applications will eventually dwarf military market values. But on the way engineering manpower and technical capabilities hurdles must be surmounted.

The report examines the necessary developments and robotics industry shortfalls needed to get from “now”, or the current state of the art, to the autonomous capabilities that are reliable, dependable and trusted in dual-use UGV operations.

If you are a government policy maker, payload vendor, payload operator, business leader or business developer in the UGV market, this report will educate you on major technologies, Markets, developments and shortcomings that will completely change your competitive environment.

The new report covers (among others):

Markets and Technologies Forecasts
Business Opportunities
Operational Concepts
Military, Law Enforcement, First Responder and Rescue Robot Needs and Technology gaps
Supply chain issues and vulnerabilities
Imaging sensors
Other Sensors
Effectors
Global Demands by Region and Country
Future Civil Applications
Innovative vendors and Selected Regional Consortia, R&D Institutions and Advocacy Organizations
