UAV-ISR Data Demand Drives UAV Training & Simulation Market

Tuesday 17 May 2011, Amsterdam

Rapid growth in demand for the critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) data provided by UAVs has been driving procurement of new platforms and in turn fuelling rising demand for trained operators. Governments around the world have been investing in a range of training capabilities in an effort to meet this demand.

As the leading operator of UAVs, the US dominates the global UAV flight training and simulation market. But there are also contracting opportunities in Europe and elsewhere in the world, with armed forces struggling to expand their training capabilities as unmanned systems technology continues to advance very rapidly.

The latest study on the UAV Flight Training & Simulation Market indicates that sales in the global UAV flight training and simulation market will be worth $375m in 2011.

The study, available on ASDReports.com, demonstrates that the global UAV flight training and simulation market is a growing marketplace offering government contract opportunities that are likely to see a range of companies realising commercial success, from the major global defence and security systems integrators to smaller UAV simulation software developers.
