The counter UAV market in Asia Pacific (APAC) is expected to grow from US$ 394.87 million in 2021 to US$ 1,173.49 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16.8% from 2021 to 2028.
Kinetic counter UAV systems are used by military bodies across the region to take down a drone completely. It utilizes anti-drone weight lines or nets, which are generally launched with the help of compressed air, or another UAV. These devices help capture the drone, neutralize it or destroy the same. Sometimes, unknown drones are sent within military boundaries to study the area or keep a close eye on the opponent's whereabouts. In such cases, destroying the complete drone ensures enhanced safety for military forces.
Some of the key companies that offer kinetic counter UAV systems in Asia Pacific are KWESST Micro Systems Inc. and Zen Technologies Limited. KWESST Micro Systems Inc. provides a micro-drone for kinetic interdiction of small drones, including swarms, that soldiers can launch. It is a fully automatic drone that helps identify drones and track, hunt, and neutralize them with kinetic technology in a range of 4 km. In October 2021, the company announced the development of a new counter UAV system in response to the rapidly increasing threat of loitering munitions.
Similarly, Zen Technologies Limited is also engaged in developing Anti Drone System (ZADS) with hard kill capabilities. The company's main customers include defense service organizations, state police forces, military forces, and the navy of a Southeast Asian country are the key consumers. Thus, the rise in spending by these bodies in both homeland security and their military sector is propelling the adoption of the same, thereby contributing to the market's growth.
