Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Counter-UAV (C-UAV) Systems market size was valued at US$ 16330 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 89790 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 27.9% during review period.

Counter-drone technology, also known as counter-UAS, C-UAV, or counter-UAV technology, refers to systems that are used to detect and/or intercept unmanned aircraft. As concerns grow around the potential security threats drones may pose to both civilian and military entities, a new market for counter-drone technology is rapidly emerging. To date, we have found at least 235 counter-drone products either on the market or under active development. This report provides background on the growing demand for C-UAV technology, describes how the technology works, presents our database of known C-UAV systems from around the globe, and explains some of the challenges surrounding counter-drone technology use.

Market growth

Military demand (such as 6.42 billion US dollars in orders from the US military) and civilian security (airports, nuclear power plants, etc.) are the main driving forces, and low-altitude economic policies have driven a sharp increase in demand.

Intelligence and multi-modal integration

AI deeply empowers target recognition and decision-making. For instance, the AI system of Hanwha Group in South Korea enables automatic tracking of unmanned aerial vehicles.

The collaborative detection of multiple sensors such as radar, electro-optical, and radio frequency enhances the recognition accuracy in complex environments (case of the US military's "Anti-Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Integrated System").

The popularization of directed energy weapons

Laser/microwave weapons have become mainstream due to their low cost and high precision. Israel and the United States are accelerating the deployment of on-board laser systems.

Bee colony countermeasures technology

In response to the threat posed by drone swarms, JCO in the United States has developed an AI trajectory prediction algorithm and combined it with a dense array close defense system for interception.

In the military field, the construction of an all-round defense system, such as the drone swarm tactic in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has given rise to the demand for layered interception.

Civilian field

Airport clear airspace protection (such as the 16-kilometer detection of the Chengdu 8341 system).

Security for large-scale events (interception of 17 illegal drones at the 2024 Chengdu Universiade).

Energy facility protection (increasing demand for explosion-proof equipment).

Industry Challenges and Countermeasures

Technology dispersion: Domestic enterprises rely on imports for core components (such as high-power microwaves), and it is necessary to enhance cooperation among industry, academia and research.

Lack of standards: Cases of radio countermeasure equipment interfering with civil aviation occur frequently, and there is an urgent need for a unified regulatory framework.

Economic balance: To deal with the attrition war of low-cost drones, it is necessary to optimize the cost-effectiveness of the countermeasures system.
