Military planners are putting a premium on nimble weapons designed to fight terrorism. That means big bucks in 2010 and beyond for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The market for UAVs is worth an estimated $17.9 billion over the next 10 years. This figure includes production of all air vehicles, ground control equipment, and payloads through 2018.

We’ve put together a new webinar to examine the latest trends, technologies and opportunities in UAVs, called “How to Gain from the UAV Boom”, scheduled for January 27, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

During the webinar, you’ll learn which companies stand to benefit most from this market’s fast growth. This webinar will be of keen interest for anyone in the aviation industry who’s involved in surveillance, homeland security, airframe manufacturing, sensors, avionics, systems integration – you name it. Executives, military decision-makers, consultants, analysts, and regulators alike will learn the latest trends and behind-the-scenes realities of airborne surveillance.

This new webinar looks at the accelerating global trend toward UAVs and other sophisticated airborne devices that provide persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

As “asymmetrical” conflict and the associated need to track and engage time-sensitive targets increases in Iraq and Afghanistan, UAVs are playing a vital role in tracking and engaging terrorists and other insurgents.

Meanwhile, the fast growth of the UAV market is being accompanied by soaring demand for remote sensor technologies. The three major sensor types – electro optics (EO), infrared (IR) and synthetic aperture radar with moving target indicator (SAR/MTI) – are becoming standard requirements across all emerging UAV platforms.

You'll learn:

• Which UAV programs emerge as the biggest winners in the Pentagon’s 2010 military budget of $680 billion?

• How will the Pentagon’s budgetary largesse this year trickle down to various avionics sub-contractors in the UAV market – and how can other avionics companies position themselves for money-making opportunities?

• What are the latest innovations in sensor technologies and which sensor makers stand to reap the biggest benefits?

• What major programs of record will drive platform growth through 2019, as well as how announced but not-awarded competitions will change this competitive landscape.

• The companies that stand to benefit most, and why. A review of the latest initiatives from the major players:  Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, AAI, IAI, Honeywell, Raytheon, Rockwell Collins, and others.

• Which nations constitute the near to medium term addressable market for affordable airborne surveillance solutions.

• Which OEMs and sub-contractors are now capable of offering affordable and reliable high-technology airborne solutions.

• Why strong strategic partnerships are essential for market penetration.

• The dominant end user considerations, such as price/performance and the support quality that can be expected over the product life cycle.
