The global remote weapon station (RWS) market size is expected to reach USD 8.56 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Remote Weapon Station Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Platform (Land, Naval, Airborne); By Application; By Component; By Weapon Type; By Technology; By Mobility; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023-2032" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Demand for RWS equipped with these weapons is increasing due to the growing need for non-lethal weapons like water cannons and tear gas launchers, which are ultimately used to protect assets, personnel, and facilities from intruders and from deranged attackers, saboteurs, mob action, or insurrection. For instance, in January 2023, the U.S. army is developing Active denial system (ADS) which can be deployed in a non-lethal manner to keep individuals away from crowds and to disperse them. ADS is being developed as a portable system carried by individuals, a mounted system put onto military vehicles, with system on top of guard post.
Asymmetric warfare which uses unconventional tactics are increasingly being used by enemies. Remote Weapon Station can be used to effectively counter this threat which is boosting their market growth. The growing use of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) is also driving the demand for RWS that can be integrated into these platforms to provide additional firepower and protection in underwater environments. For instance, in October 2022, Remontowa Shipbuilding placed an order with Saab for the delivery of Double Eagle SAROVs (Semi-Autonomous Remotely Operated Vehicles), which will be used for the secure disposal of sea mines. The Double Eagle series includes a variety of underwater vehicles for Mine Countermeasure missions that are employed by navies all around the world.
Land segment is expected to grow at a substantial rate during the forecast period owing to the demand for networked warfare systems and the increasing emphasis on close combat systems.
Lethal weapon segment accounted for the highest share of the global market because of the rising need for more firepower in military applications.
Military segment was leading the market in 2022 and is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Defense spending has increased globally as a result of rising terrorism and cross-border conflicts.
North America region held the highest market share in 2022 due to growing demand for cutting-edge technologies from the military and law enforcement organization
Prominent players include Thales Group, BAE Systems, Rheinmetall, Saab, and Leonardo
