Targeting Pods Market: Presents An Overall Analysis ,Trends And ForecastPosted by surendra choudhary on February 8th, 2021 Technological Advancements and Focus on Upgrading Old Defense Systems to Boost Market GrowthThe global warfare space has evolved at a rapid pace over the past two to three decades wherein tanks, guns, aircraft, etc., are being equipped with advanced weaponry and warfare systems. Technological advancements have played an important role in the development of modern warfare tools, including fire control radars, infrared lasers, and cyber weapons. These technologically advanced warfare tools are expected to replace conventional weapons over the next few years. The noteworthy growth in the demand for advanced warfare tools is a major factor that is projected to accelerate the expansion of the targeting pods market during the forecast period. The defense sector around the world is increasingly leaning toward the deployment of optical targeting pods (OTPs) in aircraft. The onset of a precision targeting system wherein optical targeting facilitators designate, identify, and track targets using laser beams has gained considerable popularity across the world due to which, the demand for targeting pods is expected to witness consistent growth particularly in the first half of the forecast period. Progress in optical electro-targeting systems over the past three decades has played a critical part in boosting the demand for targeting pods. At the back of these factors, along with increasing defense budget of governments across the world, the global targeting pods market is expected to attain a market value of ~US$ 4 Bn by the end of 2027.

In addition, targeting pods improve the efficiency and accuracy of laser-guided weapons– a major factor expected to augment the demand for targeting pods during the forecast period. Strides taken by optical electro-targeting systems worldwide over the past three decades have paved the way for the development of advanced targeting pods. These advancements have led to the development of downsized plug and play systems that are increasingly being used as force-multipliers in aircraft. The notable evolution in optical targeting systems wherein electro-optical sighting in daytime and infrared-sighting during the night are increasingly being used to ensure aircraft can operate around the clock is another factor that is anticipated to generate significant demand for targeting pods in the forthcoming decade. Technological advancements in the electronics space have enabled the production of cutting-edge optical targeting pods that include advanced features such as infrared radars, laser designators, and electro-optics. Market Players Strive to Design Accurate Targeting PodsAs governments across the world continue to express significant interest in upgrading their defense equipment and capabilities, players involved in the current targeting pods market are increasingly focused on the production of technologically advanced targeting pods. Market players are also likely to focus on entering into contracts with government bodies across the world to increase their market share and presence. Aircraft manufacturers are working in tandem with aerospace companies to launch state-of-the-art targeting pods with improved performance and capabilities. For instance, in 2019, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems entered a partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries’ Elta Systems to revamp the Reccelite XR and Litening 5 all-weather electric-optic targeting pods (EO) using an artificial synthetic aperture radar imagery payload. While the focus is projected to remain on upgrading the outdated technologies in defense aircraft, governments across the world are increasingly testing new targeting pods to achieve that objective. For instance, trial runs were started for the Royal Australian Air Force C-130J Hercules Transport Aircraft in which, targeting pods developed by Northrop Grumman Litening are installed. Players involved in the current market for targeting pods are expected to improve the functional aspects of their products to gain a competitive edge. Demand for Targeting Pods to Decline amidst COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to disrupt several industries and the narrative is likely to remain the same within the defense sector. Companies operating in the current targeting pods market landscape are anticipated to introspect their business development strategies, supply chains, and long-term objectives and tweak the same in line with the ongoing situation. The pandemic is expected to affect the supply chains, business operations of several companies, and most importantly likely to dent the demand for defense equipment in the upcoming months. The nature of the business, size of the defense company, product range, and dependency on the supply chain are some of the major factors that are projected to influence the growth prospects of companies involved in the targeting pods market. Market players with automated manufacturing facilities are expected to be less affected. In addition, companies that rely on just-in-time production with large inventory stocks are also anticipated to cope with supply-side challenges for the short-term.
