What Are The Major Factors Driving The Autonomous Military Aircraft Global Market Growth?
The rise in government investment on defense tools such as self-governing military aircraft to improve the effectiveness of military endeavors also heightens the necessity for the market. For example, in February 2024, the American government, through The Department of Defense (DoD), petitioned for a total of $310.7 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 for investment. This allocation includes $167.5 billion for procurement and $143.2 billion for research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E). This request for funding indicates a balanced portfolio strategy geared towards supporting the implementation of the National Defense Strategy (NDS). Therefore, the burgeoning government expenditure on autonomous military aircraft is a critical element in fostering the growth of the autonomous military aircraft market.
