The global unattended ground sensors market size was valued at USD XX million in 2021, is expected to reach USD XX million by 2030, and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing need for military surveillance systems.
Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) constitutes military sensors, including various sensor technologies, and are deployed at the area of operation for classifying, detecting, and reporting target information via wireless links to a remote-control center.
Unattended ground sensors consist of various sensor technologies that collect information through seismic, acoustic, nuclear, radiological, and electro-optic means, among others, to perform tasks including target recognition, detection, and location. UGS are used in a hostile outdoor environment for extended periods of time. The data obtained with the assistance of sensors is sent to a remote operator using UGS. Border patrol, surveillance, perimeter defense, and target acquisition are all done using UGS.
Governments have been pushed to focus on combatting the pandemic, due to the spread of COVID-19. Financial incentives and regulatory backing from governments throughout the world are driving the unattended ground sensors market.
Economic crisis is expected to lead to high deployment of unattended ground sensors at airports, power stations, border crossings, and camps. Manufacturers of unattended ground sensors are experiencing short-term operating challenges, owing to supply chain restrictions and lack of site access.
