Guided Munitions Market by Product (Missiles, Rockets, Projectiles, Arms, Loitering Weapons, Others), Technology (Laser, Infrared, Radar, GPS, Others), Platform (Airborne, Land-based, Naval), & Region – Forecast till 2023

Market Scenario

Guided munitions, also known as smart weapons, smart munitions, or guided ammunition, can be aimed and directed at single or multiple targets. It relies either on external guidance or its own guidance systems. It can be launched from aircraft, ships, submarines, and land vehicles. Many military programs are focusing on precision ammunition, especially on PG (precision guided) kits, artillery munitions, and other anti-tank and standoff weapons with a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP). Significant investments have been made on the development of technological advancements with ongoing R&D, which should lead to rapid growth of the market during the forecast period. However, major restraints of the market are the extremely complicated weapon guidance systems and restricted range of maneuverability.
