The "Special Mission Aircraft - Market and Technology Forecast to 2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report examines, analyses, and predicts the evolution of special mission aircraft technologies, markets, and outlays (expenditures) over the next 8 years - 2025-2033. It also examines markets geographically, focusing on the top 95% of global markets, in the North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.

Special mission aircraft are platforms that are tailor made for specific missions, such as, airborne early warning & control (AEW&C); intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR); maritime patrol aircraft/anti-submarine warfare (MPA/ASW); and multi role tanker transport (MRTT). The platforms are equipped with various payloads and avionics that enable the them to carry out mission specific tasks.

The market players include large as well as mid to small sized companies with expertise in manufacturing and system integration.

Special mission aircraft market is a matured market. Rising defence spending and the increasing demand for mission readiness due to border security threats amidst rising conflicts are driving the demand for special mission platforms.

Additionally, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), cloud computing, additive manufacturing, Internet of Things (IoT), and many other such Industry 4.0 technologies will drive the spending in the market as they make the platforms and systems more efficient and provide additional cost savings in the long run.

Throughout the report we show how special mission aircraft are used today to add real value, as well as how will they can evolve in the near and distant future. To provide the most thorough and realistic forecast, this report considers all stated and derived scenarios.
