Global Unattended Ground Sensors Market Analysis, Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, Threats, Trends, Applications, and Growth Forecast to 2027

Global Unattended Ground Sensors Market: Overview

“The global Unattended ground sensors Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031.”

Request Covid - 19 Impact

Unattended ground sensors are used to monitor and secure remote assets, extended parameters, and wide areas. It uses a magnetic, acoustic, poly-electric transducer, seismic, as well as infrared imaging in order to detect the presence of a vehicle, object, or person.

Unattended ground sensors transmit images or data using satellite communication or radio frequency to the remote processing and dissemination station.

Unattended ground sensors can be divided into two types based on their application namely, tactical unattended ground sensor (T-USG) and urban unattended ground sensor (U-UGS). Tactical unattended ground sensors are designed to classify, track, detect, or identify a vehicle or person.

Global Unattended Ground Sensors Market: Dynamics

Increasing security threats, coupled with growing terrorism and insurgencies are major factors driving the growth of the global unattended ground sensors market. In addition, rising geopolitical issues between countries are another factor supporting the growth of the global market.

The increasing use of advanced technologies for security and surveillance applications in the military as well as commercial sectors is a factor fueling the growth of the target market. Furthermore, growing illegal immigration on borders and increasing adoption of security solutions is a factor expected to support the growth of the global unattended ground sensors market in the near future.

However, unattended ground sensors are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and that may hamper the growth of the global unattended ground sensors market. Nevertheless, the growing digitization of equipment used on the battlefield can create opportunities for players in terms of high demand and adoption of products leading to revenue growth in the target market.

Global Unattended Ground Sensors Market: Segment Analysis
