The global market demand for military robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) is set to surge from 2023 to 2033, driven by versatile applications such as intelligence, surveillance, combat operations, target acquisition, and infantry support. Adopting RAS in high-risk missions like explosive ordnance disposal and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear scenarios will boost revenue and technological advancements. Countries invest significantly in research and development for attack drone development, with some acquiring drones for study and subsequent indigenous production. This trend, exemplified by Japan's plan to develop unmanned aircraft, enhances self-defense capabilities and deters potential attacks. At the same time, initiatives for indigenous aerospace platforms globally stimulate production and lower RAS prices.
