The Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) Market 2011-2021

Visiongain’s latest defence report - The Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) Market 2011-2021: Military Robots for EOD & Counter-IED - assesses the business opportunities presented by this critical unmanned systems marketplace. Our study examines the 12 leading national markets for unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) by sales, as well as assessing the wide range of factors that are driving sales growth around the world. Visiongain’s analysis has concluded that worldwide government spending on UGVs will total $702m in 2011. We examine the commercial prospects for companies involved in supplying robotic platforms and associated subsystems, as well as entities seeking to secure research-and-development (R&D) funding for the development of future UGV systems. This analytical report defines the current state of the global UGVs market and discusses its potential for growth from 2011 onwards, with detailed sales forecasting carried out at global, national and submarket levels. We analyse the combination of drivers and restraints that are resulting in increasing sales. We also examine the most promising areas of technological development that are likely to affect procurement decisions over the forecast period 2011-2021. How is funding for robotics research likely to be affected as government budgets continue to come under intense pressure, especially in Europe? Which national marketplaces offer the most significant sales growth opportunities over the next decade? How will the cancellation of the US Army’s Multi-Mission Unmanned Ground Vehicle (MM UGV) affect spending in the US UGVs market? Are armed robots likely to gain greater acceptance in coming years?

Report Excerpt

4.10 Canadian Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) Market In June 2011, it was reported that the Canadian Forces (CF) Land Force Command (LFC) is planning to add two new types of UGVs intended for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) tasks. The first new system is to be a ‘throwable’ robot weighing 5kg (11lb) that is capable of firing a recoilless disruptor.

The second requirement is for 22 units of a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) reconnaissance UGV weighing between 75kg and 100kg. The CBRN defence robot must also be able to detect explosives and climb stairs, as well as being interoperable with the Multi-Agent Tactical Sentry (MATS) system.
