Geo-political factors and rise of terrorism in various countries have led to activities such as illegal immigration, drug trafficking, money laundering, weapons smuggling and others across borders.

Governments worldwide as constantly in pursuit to uplift the surveillance and detection of such activities in order to preserve the national integrity, protect citizens and critical infrastructure. These factors compel countries to undertake substantial investment programs for modernization and upgrade of their capabilities, thereby fueling demand for EO/IR systems.

Rupantar Guha, analyst at Publisher says,

“Rapid advancement of sensor systems and the growing application of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies are enabling military forces to enhance their ISR capabilities on varied platforms, especially for border and maritime security.

The demand for powerful, lightweight and cost-effective systems, has also gained momentum owing to the increasing adoption of UAVs among the armed forces. This factor directly influences the market for EO/IR systems as most of the miniaturized (mini/ micro/ nano) UAVs require EO/IR technology driven by sophisticated and high performing sensors, cameras and other electro-optic payloads. Also it puts an additional focus on related research and development activities.”
