Fire Control System Market Size, Share, and Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis, By Mechanism (Automated and Non-Automated), By Components (Radar, Communication Equipment, Warhead, Electro-Optical/Infrared Gimbal, Environmental Sensors, and Others), By Applications (Machine Guns, Rockets, Mortar, Cannons, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
Report Format: PDF | Published Date: Ongoing | Report ID: FBI108206 | Status : UpcomingThe global fire control system market is experiencing significant growth, fueled by increasing defense budgets and the need for advanced targeting systems. Fire control system is used to aid a weapon in tracking, locking and firing onto a target. The system uses multiple sensors for input, computes the trajectory for the weapon to hit its mark, and fires when projection is done. This system proves to be more precise and efficient than an average human gunner, due to the system taking into account all factors into play at the same time.
The fire control systems nowadays are mostly automated, although non-automated ones are still used in older models today. A basic system consists of a radar, communication equipment, warhead, an electro-optical gimbal (EOG), and an environmental sensor, along with some other components. Fire control systems can be used on various equipment, such as machine guns, rockets, mortars, cannons, and other equipment.
The fire control system market is driven by the need for more efficient and sustainable systems. The current fire control systems include a variety of sensors along with an embedded computer for digitalized analysis of the environment, and that adds to the weight of the overall system. Lighter and advanced systems are under development to increase the overall efficiency of the platform on which the systems is mounted.
Market restraint includes the large amounts of money required for the research and development of this technology. The inclusion of embedded computers and other software and hardware further complicates the advancement of the system.
Impact of the Russia-Ukraine War on the Global Market:
The Russia-Ukraine war started in February 2022, and has been going on for well over a year now. Both the countries have been expanding their military investments to get an edge in the battlefield. The global fire control system market has seen a beneficial turn due to the war. Increase in the usage of weaponry and other equipment such as guns and tanks has led to an increased demand for fire control systems. External military aid sent to the nations at war has also created demand outside of the European region. Increased manufacturing and new production sites have been set up to meet the growing demand. Overall, the war has had a positive impact on the market.
The global fire control market can be segmented into three broad categories- by mechanism, by components, and by applications. Based on the mechanism of the system, the market is bifurcated into automated and non-automated. Based on the components, the market is divided into radar, communication equipment, warhead, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) gimbal, environmental sensors, and others. Based on the applications, the market is divided into machine guns, rockets, mortars, cannons, and others. Based on the region, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and the Rest of the World.
