Description

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) industry in the United States. Based on UAV platform types, it categorizes the industry into:
1. Mini/Small UAVs
2. Tactical UAVs
3. Medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAVs
4. High-altitude long-endurance (HALE) UAVs
5. Unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs)

The study analyzes the Department of Defense's FY2026 annual defense budget to identify funding trends for relevant departments and identify key drivers and restraints projected to impact the industry during the study period. It also assesses relevant contracting activities for calendar year (CY) 2024, including multi-year obligations, to:
1. Explore spending trends across major departments
2. Identify segment-specific leading platform segments and contract trends
3. Examine the contractor landscape and highlight top contractors, their market share, and leading technology/product
4. Highlight the top technology/product and the top 3 contractors for each platform segment

The study also examines policy changes and geopolitical shifts to identify the top 3 growth opportunities projected to sustain industry growth over the study period. It emphasizes the importance of intersectoral collaboration in accelerating the rapid integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, and additive manufacturing (AM), to enhance force posture and operational readiness in contested and rapidly evolving battlefields.
