DUBLIN, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Target Acquisition Systems Market by Subsystem (Cameras, Scopes & Sights, Detecting & Locating Systems, Modules), Platform (Land, Airborne, Naval), End Use (Military, Homeland Security), Range, and Region - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The target acquisition systems market is projected to grow from USD 11.9 billion in 2019 to USD 15.5 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.46% from 2019 to 2024.

Some of the factors that are expected to fuel the growth of the target acquisition systems market are advancements in automatic weapons, increasing defense expenditure of countries, rise in demand for artillery systems by military forces, and ongoing military modernization programs worldwide.

Major players in the target acquisition systems market include companies, such as Hensoldt (Germany), Elbit Systems (Israel), Israel Aerospace Industries (Israel), Aselsan A.S. (Turkey), Rheinmetall AG (Germany), BAE Systems (UK), and Leonardo (Italy), and Raytheon Company (US), among others.

The detecting & locating systems segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019

Based on sub-system, the detecting & locating systems segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019. Detecting & locating systems play a key role in the detection of targets with the help of target acquisition radars, EO/IR systems, and other supporting systems.

The medium range (8-250 km) segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019

Based on range, the medium range (8-250 km) segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019. Medium range target acquisition systems are highly preferred by militaries, as they provide greater accuracy in targeting as compared to long range systems and provides greater range coverage than a short range system. Countries such as India and China are currently investing in medium-range defense systems.

The land segment is estimated to lead the target acquisition systems market in 2019

Based on platform, the land segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019. The rise in the use of target acquisition systems is strengthening the defense capabilities of land platforms and providing greater safety to soldiers during war and anti-terrorist operations. Developed countries are focusing on integrating these systems on various land warfare platforms to reduce the number of causalities during anti-terrorist operations.

North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019

North America is expected to account for the largest share of the target acquisition systems market in 2019, The large share can be attributed to the high demand for target acquisition systems from the US Department of Defense and presence of defense players, such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Raytheon Company in the country.
