Border Security Market  Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Investment in Advanced Weapon Systems

Increasing threats of border security safety and aerial attack are creating the enormous requirement for advanced weaponry integrated with laser, RADAR, and advanced camera system. Countries such as China, the US, the UK, and Russia are strengthening their weapon systems against UAVs, rockets, artillery, and mortar projectiles. The adoption of laser weapon systems is becoming an ideal solution, owing to their enhanced protection techniques and high precision. For instance, the UK ministry  of defense invested ~US$ 162 million for the creation of a new Joint program office to manage the program and personnel. Moreover, in April 2024, the UK announced the expected rollout of laser-based weapon systems (DragonFire) into their Royal Navy warships from 2027. Such factors have been pushing the growth of border security market.

Development of Laser Weapon System for Fighter Aircraft

Laser weapon systems are gaining major demand from countries such as the US, China, Russia, and India, which hold high military power globally. Escalating development of advanced weapons system and increasing adoption of drones or unmanned vehicle for military operations are creating enormous demand for advanced defensive weapons. Several drones and advanced weapons are creating severe damage owing to which the demand for high-precise laser weapon systems is increasing. The growing investment by various nations and intensive R&D activities performed by the market players create new opportunities for the growth of the laser system for enhanced border security. For instance, the US's self-protect high-energy laser demonstrator (SHiELD) initiative opens a new application area for laser weapon systems. Lockheed Martin developed a laser weapon system for fighter jets, thus bringing a new level of advancement for war fighters. The laser weapons in fighter jets are intertwining the ability to shoot down missiles in flight and get an advantage over adversaries. Such systems are likely to provide new opportunities for border security market vendors in the coming years.
