Unmanned vehicles, including unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), have become essential in defense operations due to their ability to reduce risks to human personnel, enhance situational awareness, and increase operational capabilities. Due to the potential of unmanned vehicles, governments of several countries across the globe are actively taking measures to incorporate them into their defense strategies. For instance, in January 2021, Honeywell, in collaboration with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), developed advanced inertial sensor technology for future applications in both commercial and defense navigation. With funding from DARPA, Honeywell has made significant progress in the development of these sensors. Recent findings from Honeywell labs have demonstrated that the new sensors exhibit significantly higher levels of accuracy compared to Honeywell's current tactical-grade product, the HG1930 inertial measurement unit (IMU), which was widely deployed with over 150,000 units in use. This breakthrough in sensor technology holds great promise for enhancing navigation capabilities in various industries, including both commercial and defense sectors. The remarkable accuracy achieved by these sensors compared to their predecessors holds great promise for improving land defense systems and various other industries that rely on precise motion sensing, which is further boosting the inertial sensor for land defense systems market growth.

North America comprises countries such as the US, Canada, and Mexico. US holds the largest inertial sensor for land defense systems market share in North America. The inertial sensor for land defense systems market is experiencing significant growth in North America. Inertial sensors play a crucial role in various land military applications, providing vital data for navigation, targeting, and platform stabilization. These sensors, typically combined into inertial measurement units (IMUs), measure the vehicle's movement, orientation, and acceleration without relying on external signals like GPS, making them particularly valuable in situations where GPS is unavailable or unreliable due to jamming or environmental factors. The militaries in North America are among the most powerful and well-equipped in the world. The US, Canada, and Mexico all have highly trained and professional forces capable of a wide range of operations, from peacekeeping to full-scale war. The US military is by far the largest and most powerful in North America. It has approximately 48% active and 52% reserve personnel. The US Army is the largest land force in the world, with over 500,000 active soldiers. Moreover, the US controls land sales to foreigners near eight military bases. Foreign citizens and companies would need US government approval to buy property within 160 km of eight military bases under a projected rule change that follows a Chinese firm's attempt to build a plant near a military base in the US state of North Dakota.

The increase in investments in the army is promoting the growth of land defense systems. For instance, in December 2023, Canada announced a US$ 1.68 billion investment in a technology network for the Canadian Army. The contracts will provide support for the land control, command, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (LC4ISR) system. In addition, in December 2023, Mexico announced that it invested US$ 30 billion in a military-run train line. The train line is built with limited transparency and is run by the army. All the above factors propel the market growth of inertial sensor for land defense systems in North America.

The global inertial sensor for land defense systems market is segmented by technology into FOG, MEMS, and others. The FOG segment held the largest inertial sensor for land defense systems market share in 2022. Fiber optic gyro (FOG) technology is a type of inertial sensor technology used in land defense systems for navigation, guidance, and control applications. FOG-based inertial sensors provide accurate and reliable measurements of angular rate and orientation. FOG technology utilizes the interference of light waves in a coiled optical fiber to measure angular rotation. The fiber optic coil is wound in a way that allows the light to travel in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. When the coil rotates, the Coriolis effect causes a phase shift between the clockwise and counterclockwise light waves. This phase shift is proportional to the angular rate of rotation. FOG technology plays a vital role in developing high-performance inertial sensors for land defense systems. By utilizing the interference of light waves in optical fibers, FOG-based sensors offer accurate measurements of angular rate and orientation. These sensors provide crucial data for navigation, stabilization, and control applications in land defense systems, which further boost the inertial sensor for land defense systems market growth. Integrating FOG with other sensors further enhances the capabilities and reliability of these systems, ensuring their effectiveness in challenging operational environments.
