Commercial aerospace engines have emerged into one of the engineering marvels of the world. With every commercial aircraft transporting passengers and cargo around the globe, these marvels have become commonplace. Reliability has improved so much that there are now more commercial aircraft operating under Extended range Twin engine Operational Perf...

This growth insight analyzes the current presence of additive manufacturing in the global aerospace sector. While this is a global study, most of the additive manufacturing action is taking place in the Americas and Europe. Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has existed in the aerospace sector for over a decade. Early on, the...

The most significant threat is no longer threats to human lives or property from physical attacks—rather the threat lies in more covert warfare tactics, including cyber-attacks and attacks that can cripple, obstruct, or destroy operations within critical infrastructure facilities, such as utility companies, communications towers, ports, manufactu...

Drones will increasingly rely on computer vision (CV) technologies that allow machines to see and process data like the human eye, to enable capabilities like autonomous navigation and real-time object identification, classification, and evaluation. This research study focuses on 17 companies competing to develop CV-focused technologies to enable ...

The study highlights contracts by the services department and C4ISR technologies, with the leading competitors for each area. This competitive market landscape is provided to show the best opportunities for growth and penetration into the DoD C4ISR market. Electronic Warfare (EW) and Information Operations (IO) contracts are also included in this ...

This growth insight discusses the landscape of commercial aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities (MROs) that provide check maintenance and modifications for airlines and air freight carriers. Prior to stand-alone aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities, major airlines and air freight carriers were forced to acquir...

Drones will become increasingly autonomous, while acquiring larger amounts of data. To enable autonomy and to rapidly identify and process the most pertinent data, drone platforms will need to utilize artificial intelligence (AI). This research study focuses on 18 companies competing to develop AI-enabled drone solutions for a multitude of commerci...

The convergence of physical and logical security and identity authentications methods highlights the need to protect both a person’s physical identity credentials as well as their digital identity from potential fraud or loss. Within the government and critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors, the need for robust identity protections is hei...

The study aims to cover the planned/announced space launches in 2018 while analysing the purpose, impacts, and opportunities related to the same. The study is a forward looking analysis of what is expected to transpire in the space launch industry across commercial, government, and military launches, globally, focusing on the March-December, 2018 t...
