Anti-drone Market Dynamics
Opportunity: Increasing private investments in drone industry
The rise in the use of drones is expected to offer growth opportunities for various stakeholders of the anti-drone ecosystem, such as anti-drone software providers, anti-drone manufacturers, anti-drone service providers, and anti-drone infrastructure providers.
The drone market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years owing to the considerable investments in drone technologies across the globe. Currently, drones are equipped with high-end technologies, advanced components, engineered lightweight materials, software, and hardware, which have low payload capacity, inaccurate navigation, and endurance. Therefore, drone software companies are focusing on developing cost-effective technologies enabling drones to navigate accurately. The drone industry has been witnessing significant investments from private companies, venture capitalists, and financial institutions over the past few years. According to an article published by Droneii.com, the industry witnessed an investment of USD 7 billion in 2021, a significant rise compared with USD 2.4 billion in 2020. The investment share of venture capitalists accounted for USD 4 billion in 2021. Several startups, such as DroneBase and Measure, have received funding from venture capitalists to adopt a complete drone software platform.
Challenge: Development of effective anti-drone systems and components for detection applications
Developing and integrating an effective anti-drone system for detection and interdiction applications has been challenging for manufacturers and integrators. Every detection system has some drawbacks.
Electromagnetic interference can degrade the detection capabilities of RF sensors. In urban environments, there are many potential sources of such interference, including communication antennae, two-way radios, telemetry systems, and even power lines and LED lights. Camera systems might interpret a drone as a bird or an airplane and struggle in harsh weather conditions with low visibility. Radar systems may struggle to pick out small drones and UAS flying very close to the ground. Specific RF sensors, including some systems marketed as “passive,” may likewise emit RF signals that could interfere with other communications, making them potentially dangerous to deploy in some environments.

Recent Developments in Anti-drone Market
- In February 2022, SRC, Inc. has been awarded a contract by the Artillery Systems Delivery Team of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to provide in-service support services for the AN/TPQ-49 Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar (LCMR). Under this contract, SRC, Inc. will provide technical knowledge, specialized testing, and equipment to support and maintain the MOD’s existing radars.
- In March 2022, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, a Raytheon Technologies business, has demonstrated that its High Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) can pair with the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) to stop unmanned aircraft threats. During the live-fire exercise, the HELWS received cues from the NASAMS Fire Distribution Center and used automated target cueing and a full spectrum of electro-optical/infrared sensors to track, identify, and quickly take down drones at tactically relevant distances. The HELWS took down nine Group 1 and Group 2 drones over the White Sands Missile Range.
- In 2021, Lockheed Martin Corporation launched a product – MORFIUS, is designed to be tube-launched from an air, ground, or on-the-move vehicle platform, supporting a layered defense approach as a force multiplier in the integrated air and missile defense mission area. When threats like drone swarms evolve at the speed of commercial development, defensive technologies that combat these challenges must evolve even more quickly. That is why Lockheed Martin has worked across multiple services to rapidly develop and prove a key Counter-Unmanned Aerial System defensive capability: MORFIUS – a reusable, high-power microwave-based interceptor for C-UAS and C-swarm scenarios.
- In June 2022, Leonardo has launched its Tactical Multi-mission Radar C-band AESA radar, designed to detect, classify, and track small and high maneuvering targets. TMMR is a small target detection and tracking radar equipped to perform challenging missions such as counter-UAS and counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar. Typical applications of Tactical Multi-mission Radar C-band AESA radar include C-UAS Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems; V-SHORAD Very Short Range Air Defence; C-RAM Counter-Rocket Artillery Mortar; Airport/Critical Infrastructure Surveillance; Air Surveillance Gap Filler; Vehicles Protection; and Battlefield Protection.
- In October 2021, Thales unveiled the Ground Observer 20 Multi-Mission Radar, ultimate in early UAV detection and ground surveillance with the unique simultaneous ground and low-level air surveillance, providing exceptional early UAV detection, in particular of micro-drones.
