Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) Market Segmentation:
The ground-based segment is projected to account for a larger share than the handheld segment in the counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) market during the forecast period.
By deployment, the ground-based systems segment is projected to dominate in this category due to a wide deployment of ground-based counter-drone technologies across military bases, borders, airports, and government installations. These systems integrate radar, RF sensors, EO/IR cameras, and jamming units into a centralized architecture capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing drones in real time. Their ability to operate in fixed, mobile, and transportable configurations makes them ideal for large-area protection. Continuous advancements in AI-enabled threat classification and electronic warfare modules further strengthen their dominance in the counter-UAS ecosystem.
The extended range (> 50 KM) segment is projected to lead the counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) market during the forecast period
By range, the extended range (> 50 KM) segment is projected to dominate the counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) market, owing to increasing demand for long-range surveillance and interception capabilities for border protection and battlefield operations. Extended-range counter-UAS integrate multi-layered sensors, high-power jammers, and directed-energy systems capable of detecting and defeating drones at stand-off distances. Militaries are adopting these counter-UAV systems to secure critical infrastructure and enhance early-warning capabilities. The ongoing development of high-energy laser and microwave technologies further supports the expansion of this range category across defense applications.
North America is projected to be the fastest-growing market in the counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) market during the forecast period.
North America is projected to be the fastest-growing market in the counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) market, fueled by substantial defense budgets, growing homeland security initiatives, and rapid integration of AI-based counter-UAV platforms. The US Department of Defense and DHS are investing heavily in multi-domain counter-drone systems for base protection, airport security, and border surveillance. Frequent drone incursions near sensitive sites have accelerated procurement programs and joint R&D initiatives among leading OEMs. Continuous technology demonstrations and commercial adoption in public safety and critical infrastructure sectors are driving further regional market expansion.
