What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Military Optical Fiber Sensor Market?
The increasing adoption of unmanned systems is expected to propel the growth of the military optical fiber sensor market going forward. Unmanned systems are remotely operated or autonomous platforms deployed across air, land, sea, or space to carry out surveillance, reconnaissance, and combat without requiring a human operator onboard. The growing use of unmanned systems is attributed to the ability to undertake high-risk missions while minimizing danger to human personnel, improving safety and operational efficiency. Military optical fiber sensors enhance the performance of unmanned systems by providing precise sensing and communication functions with low electromagnetic interference, which is vital for stealth and mission-critical applications. For instance, in May 2024, the International Trade Administration, a US-based government agency, there was a 40% rise in the global number of commercially operated drones between 2022 and 2030. Therefore, the increasing adoption of unmanned systems drives the growth of the military optical fiber sensor market.
