Our latest defence report - The Military GPS/GNSS Devices Market 2009-2019 - examines one of the defence industry’s important emerging sectors. The Global Positioning System (GPS), with its US military origins, has led to a wide range of commercial products in recent years. We predict steady growth for the worldwide military GPS/GNSS devices market – you will see relevant forecasts in this report. Major defence contractors as well as companies serving both commercial and defence markets are producing GPS/GNSS devices, as demand increases for accurate location information and precision guidance. This report discusses that market in detail, examining its potential from 2009 onwards.

Since its deployment in Desert Storm up to extensive use in conflicts zones of the 21st century, GPS has become the standard tool for obtaining precise position, navigation and timing (PNT) information for military forces. Similar to GPS are other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Russia is reviving Glonass, which was developed around the same time as GPS. A group of European countries is also developing their own GNSS, known as Galileo. China reportedly plans to expand its regional navigation satellite system to global coverage in a project labelled Compass.

Our forecast period, 2009-2019, reveals a general increase in spending on military GPS/GNSS devices. Which submarkets will have the greatest value and experience the highest growth? Which countries will spend most on military GPS/GNSS over the next decade? Will other GNSS generate increased demand for GPS/GNSS devices? The Military GPS/GNSS Devices Market 2009-2019 will provide you with the information that you need to understand current trends and future possibilities there. We discuss the global outlook for the following submarkets:

• GPS/GNSS devices for ground platforms (soldiers, vehicles)
• GPS/GNSS devices for aerial platforms (aircraft, UAVs)
• GPS/GNSS devices for naval platforms (vessels)
• GPS/GNSS devices for precision guidance munitions (missiles, bombs, artillery and mortar rounds).

Military GPS/GNSS devices are turning up in many military applications – such as handheld receivers for soldiers, GPS-aided navigational systems for manned and unmanned aircraft, and expendable miniaturized versions in missiles, bombs and even artillery and mortar rounds. This new report covers those aspects of the sector too.
