Military Drones: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2015 to 2021

Transcription

1 Military Drones: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2015 to 2021 Economies of scale and new levels of airworthiness represent progress for military drones. Military drones are able to combat terrorism effectively and efficiently. As terrorism represents the most cogent immediate threat to civilization, this bodes well for military drone market development. New drones sustain flights of longer durations. Military drone target markets are military reconnaissance, military surveillance, military intelligence, military strike forces.
