The prospect of directed energy weapons raises questions for several bodies of international law, most notably those that place restrictions on the use of force. Nevertheless, there are a number of legal regimes that would apply to directed energy weapons. Restraint: Restrictions on anti-personnel lasersĭEWs are not authoritatively defined under international law, nor are they currently on the agenda of any existing multilateral mechanism. Moreover, in the past years, over nine major international conflicts, including the Syrian Civil War, the Saudi Arabia-Yemen conflict, US-Iran tensions, and India-China tensions, were witnesses that may support the deployment of directed energy weapon solutions in combat forces. This could be due to rising conflicts between countries, leading to the strengthening of their defense forces. The rising focus of defense forces across the globe on modernizing their military electronic warfare and defense systems, including directed energy weapon systems, will propel the market growth.įor instance, in 2020, according to International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), defense spending across the globe was estimated to be over USD 1,830 billion, an increase of 3.9% as compared to the 2019 spending. Market Dynamics Driver: Rising modernization and investments in military platforms While companies may still be taking in orders, delivery schedules may not be fixed. Resuming manufacturing activities depends on the level of COVID-19 exposure, the level at which manufacturing operations are running, and import-export regulations, among other factors.
Although directed energy weapons are for national integration and of prime importance, disruptions in the supply chain have halted their manufacturing processes for the time being. The manufacturing of directed energy weapons, including systems, subsystems, and components, has also been impacted. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to the economic activities of countries across the world. To know about the assumptions considered for the study, Request for Free Sample Report Impact of Covid-19 on Directed Energy Weapon Market: The Asia Pacific region will dominate the market due to the growing investments in directed energy weapons solutions. Directed energy weapons like lasers, high power microwaves, and electromagnetic weapons are being used to defend against attacks from threats like ballistic missiles, anti-satellite weapons, and nuclear weapons, etc.
The key drivers propelling the growth of the global directed energy weapons market is the defense of terrorist attacks, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear materials so that civilian lives and the national security of a country can be preserved. According to MarketsandMarkts, the directed energy weapon market is valued at USD 4.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 10.1 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 18.7%.
