Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the Global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Market - with Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.
According to industry estimates, UAV operations will increase manifold in a variety of key military and civil areas. In the US an estimated 50 companies, universities, and government organizations are developing over 150 different unmanned aircraft designs. From an operational, infrastructure and safety perspective, this presents a number of challenges due to the diversity of aircraft, control stations, levels of autonomy, and communications methods. UAV's have a wide spectrum of size, endurance, and performance characteristics, often different from manned aircraft.
The development of sophisticated navigation and communications technologies, and the increase in armed forces telecommunications satellite bandwidth, have made remote operation of UAVs more realistic. The wars fought in Iraq and Afghanistan have also increased the demand for UAVs, as identification of targets among civilian populations required persistent surveillance.
