The global undersea warfare systems market is expected to witness a significant growth over the forecast period 2019-2024, due to the growing demand for underwater security. Moreover, there are various countries that are actively increasing their defense spending to procure defense products and equipment in order to improve their military strength. The global undersea warfare systems market has evolved significantly with the increasing threats from the underwater systems such as submarines, and unmanned underwater vehicles.
The Cold War lasted from 1947 to 1991 – ending three decades back. The end of the Cold War and the third world submarine threats emergence have led to the rapid re-engineering of conventional undersea warfare (USW) systems and approaches. USW scenarios are now more focused on modern diesel-electric submarine and less-familiar littoral environments. The rapidly maturing technology for autonomous command and control systems, energy capacity, unmanned vehicles, distributed undersea networks, and others offer efficient and better capabilities to navies around the globe and lowering the barriers for entry into undersea warfare systems market.
The advanced undersea warfare systems have the capability to provide technological and tactical advantage based on the needs for warfighter. Advanced undersea warfare systems can maintain undersea warfare dominance through sensing, communications superiority, weapons, and capitalizing on netted and unmanned systems.
The marine species are extremely sensitive to sound navigation and ranging systems that are used underwater for detecting and tracking the submerged underwater targets. Almost all the undersea warfare systems are equipped with sonar systems for achieving accurate navigation for the detection of the target. These underwater sound navigations and ranging systems have harmful effects on marine animals including whales and dolphins, among others. Therefore, to protect the underwater habitat from the hazards of sonars systems, various organizations are actively working to officially restrict the use of sonars in some of the areas which are important for marine life. For instance, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has restricted the use of sonar systems by the U.S. Navy in the coasts of southern California and Hawaii. Moreover, there are several non-profit organizations such as International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) that are continuously working toward the protection of marine life from the ill effects of the underwater systems. Therefore, threat to the underwater environment due to sonars is one of the challenges that could hinder the growth of undersea warfare systems market. Moreover, the navigation and positioning is a complex task for unmanned underwater vehicles as a result of the disturbances in the form of underwater sound waves. Therefore, navigation and communication became difficult for undersea unmanned vehicles, as there are not many options available for transmitting messages underwater.
The undersea warfare systems market is a mature industry which involves the leading players that are dominating the market. Lockheed Martin is one of the leading manufacturers of undersea warfare systems that supplies its products and equipment to various naval forces across the globe. Lockheed Martin has received multiple contracts from the various naval forces time and again for the development of the undersea warfare systems. For instance, the company Lockheed Martin is planning to launch new Navy anti-submarine warfare (ASW) shipboard sonar undersea warfare systems by May 2020.

Leonardo is another leading manufacturer of undersea warfare systems that offers various types of undersea warfare systems that include towed array sonar systems, active towed array sonar system, and MPS2000 naval messaging system, among others. Some of the other companies in the global undersea warfare systems market are Raytheon Inc., BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, SAAB, Harris Corporation, Kongsberg Gruppen, Saab AB, Thales Group, Boeing, Atlas Electronik GmbH, ECA Group, General Dynamics and Ultra Electronics.
The increasing defense spending and rising underwater security needs are expected to boost the growth of the market of undersea warfare systems. The development of airborne detection systems is expected to offer numerous opportunities for the growth of the global undersea warfare systems market. These detection systems can detect and track the submerged enemy submarines from the airborne platform. Moreover, the undersea warfare systems industry is highly competitive and requires manufacturers to constantly innovate and enhance their undersea warfare systems to be cost-effective and technically advanced. The market is likely to grow moderately with the advancements in underwater technology along with its adoption for various naval operations.
The global cyber warfare market is expected to reach USD 91.75 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.
The increasing number of cyber-attacks are emerging as a significant threat across the globe.
The dependence of organizations on information technology and the valuable & sensitive nature of digitally-stored data have raised the stake for cyber attackers whose primary motive is to disrupt economic growth and gain technological advantages by stealing intellectual properties of national defense forces.
Increased concern towards catastrophic nature of cyber warfare and national security are factors anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.Cyberspace disruption capabilities have outstripped nation's focus on terrorism.
The increasing cyber-attacks such as abusing digital infrastructure and network infiltration within industries and defense sector have led the government to focus more on cyberspace vulnerabilities.
In light of the growing cyber incidence, increased cybersecurity spending is proposed, and warfare units are established by the governments aimed to protect nation's sensitive information and deter potential of the cyber threat.
