Remote Weapon Systems for Enhanced Border Surveillance

Published: Jun 2024

The global remote weapon systems market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The growth of the market growth is driven by the increasing utilization of unmanned platforms, majorly for military applications across the globe. For instance, in June 2022, General Robotic introduced the latest version of its PITBULL Remote Control Weapons Stations (RCWS). A significant improvement in situational awareness, rapid response, and firepower is made possible for armored vehicles and unmanned platforms through Smart-AI PITBULL's enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven capabilities. PITBULL is a lightweight RCWS that can be used to install electro-optical sensors for 40mm Automatic Grenade Launched (AGLs), 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine guns, and other payloads.

  • Additionally, the sea segment is expected to hold a considerable market share, attributed to the multiple role capabilities, to carry out a number of duties and missions.
  • In August 2023, FN Herstal launched a new versatile weapon mount for land and sea platforms. The weapon interface can be changed to accommodate a variety of caliber weapons in a matter of minutes, including 12.7x99mm NATO (.50 Cal) heavy machine guns (FN® M2HB-QCB), 7.62x51mm NATO medium machine guns (FN MAG® 58M/infantry, FN® M240 D, H, and L), and 40mm Automatic Grenade Launchers (MK19 AGL).  
  • North America is anticipated to hold a prominent market share, owing to the significant investment in advanced military equipment and a growing weapons industry in the region.
  • Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period (2024-2031), attributed to the increasing possibilities for export. Manufacturers of advanced remote weapon systems, such as loitering munitions, are seeking markets abroad.   
  • According to the Indian Ministry of Defense, the defense exports reached an all-time high of approx. Rs 16,000 crore ($2.0 billion) in FY 2022-23, almost Rs 3,000 crore ($381.0 million) more than the previous financial year.  India is now exporting to over 85 countries.  
  • In April 2023, Electro Optic Systems (EOS) announced that it has secured a second conditional contract to supply up to fifty Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) to Ukraine, including ammunition, spares, and related services. The contract is valued at $41.0 million and envisages the supply of the RWS to Ukraine during 2023 and 2024. It is in addition to the previously announced contract for up to one hundred EOS RWS units, valued at up to $80.0 million prior in April 2023. 

The major companies serving the global remote weapon systems market include Thermax Inc., Johnson Controls International plc, Kirloskar Group, Yazaki Corp., Carrier Global Corp. and others. The market players are contributing significantly towards market growth by the adoption of various business strategies. For instance, in September 2023, ASELSAN introduced the SARP Next Generation (SARP Next Gen). The SARP Next Gen version of ASELSAN's SARP Remote Controlled Weapon Station, the most widely utilized land weapon station in the globe, retains its high hit probability, tracking efficiency, and shoot-on-the-move capability for both stationary and moving targets.
