This research service provides an assessment of the global military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Despite a slowdown, the United States will remain the major market for UAVs. Also, demand from the Asia-Pacific and Europe will partially supplement reduced revenue from the United States. This market analysis focuses on revenue opportunities for new procurements and support-in-service (SIS) revenues for UAVs. In addition, 6 platform types are assessed for the global market and by region, namely: North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. The analysis covers market forecasts and trends from the base year, 2013, until 2022.
