Executive Summary

The global GPS/GNSS devices market is expected to post strong growth during the forecast period

The global spending on GPS/GNSS systems and devices is expected to remain robust over the forecast

period, primarily due to their extensive use along with associated software in modern or fourth-generation

warfare. GPS technology has the ability to work in conjunction with a number of software systems, which has

increased its area of scope since GPS technology was first introduced for navigational purposes in 1978.

Recent years have witnessed the burgeoning use of military GPS systems in virtually every operational aspect

of the country’s armed forces. Rapid advancements in technology, such as auto-landing for aircraft and GPS

embedded soldier uniforms, show the extent of the use of GPS applications in various military operations. With

technology evolving even further, innovations such as GPS guided parachutes, which are currently in

developmental stage, are also expected to be purchased in great numbers by various countries in the near

future.

GPS satellite technology has gone through a few product development stages, from GPS I to GPS III, and the

latter is the next generation of GPS satellites and the first satellite of the new system will be placed into orbit in

2014. The new systems will involve the use of high power GPS receivers that will enhance the GPS signals by

almost 10 times, compared to current systems and help to prevent jamming and spooking. However, this

would also lead to new procurements of GPS receivers and the upgrade of several GPS systems currently

housed in aircrafts, naval vessels, land combat vehicles, missiles, and all other GPS guided military devices

and equipment. This major development in the sector will have a positive impact on the expenditure during the

forecast period.

1 Global Military GPS/GNSS Market Size and Drivers

1.1 Military GPS/GNSS Devices Market Size and Forecast 2013–2023

1.1.1 Global military GPS/GNSS devices market to show strong positive growth during the forecast

period

The global GPS/GNSS devices market was valued at US$XX billion in 2013 and the market consists of four

categories: land, naval, airborne and precision guided munitions. The market value is forecast to increase at a

CAGR of XX% over the forecast period, to reach US$XX billion by 2023. Air-based systems are expected to

account for XX% of the global GPS/GNSS market, followed by land systems with a XX% share, precision

guided munitions comprise XX% of the overall market, whilst naval systems represent just XX%. The

cumulative global expenditure on GPS/GNSS systems is expected to value US$XX billion, and is expected to

remain strong during the forecast period. The aggressive budget cuts initiated by some of the major western

military powers have impacted growth to some extent, but the sector remains resilient and is expected to post

moderate to strong growth at a global level. Growth is primarily bolstered by developments, such as the

introduction of new satellite programs taking place across all regions, as well as an increasing use of

GPS/GNSS devices across a number of military platforms. These developments are leading to new

procurement opportunities of GPS/GNSS devices compatible with new military platforms and applications.

1.2 Global Military GPS/GNSS Devices Market – Regional Analysis

1.2.1 North America dominates the global military GPS/GNSS Devices market

The North American GPS/GNSS devices sector is forecast to register a strong increase in size during the

forecast period. The US commands nearly XX% share of the global market, with a cumulative spend of

US$XX billion. Regionally, the US controls over XX% of the overall GPS/GNSS spend in North America.

During the forecast period, the US is expected to lead the market growth in the region. The country introduced

satellite navigation technology a number of decades ago, and most of its satellites and other associated

equipment are aging, and require replacement. The US has already started to take necessary steps to replace

older equipment, and to deploy next generation satellite navigation technology, called GPS III. The new

satellites installed under the GPS III program will directly influence expenditure on new GPS receivers, which

are compatible with new satellites and other developing infrastructure. The US DoD is making efforts to ensure

that the new system does not require a large scale replacement of GPS devices in various military platforms; it

is, however, expected that fresh procurement of new GPS devices for certain military programs will take place

during the forecast period.

The new system will provide improved positioning, navigation, and timing services to the US military forces, by

improving accuracy, resistance to hostile jamming, and new sophisticated applications to improve US military

strategic operations. The US DoD has already awarded a high value GPS upgrade contract to Honeywell. The

new system will require high powered GPS receivers for a number of military applications, such as aircraft,

UAVs, naval vessels, armored vehicles, communication devices, PDAs and tactical radios. These

developments are expected to lead to new areas of expenditure for the US military, once GPS III systems are

fully operational.

1.3 Military GPS/GNSS Sub-Sector Market Size Composition

1.3.1 Airborne GPS/GNSS market size expected to increase during the forecast period

In 2013, the airborne GNSS/GPS devices market is estimated to be worth US$XX million, and is expected to

register a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period, to reach US$XX million by 2023. The cumulative market

for airborne GNSS is valued to reach US$XX billion over the forecast period. The demand is majorly driven by

the countries procuring military aircraft and rotorcraft which use the latest navigation and communication

technologies. These aircraft are equipped with hybrid multiple navigational aids which include GPS, inertial

navigation and radar navigation systems. Numerous Air Forces across the world are undertaking major aircraft

upgrade programs involving the installation of advanced avionics, navigation and communication systems.

Another major development in the segment has been an increasing procurement of sophisticated anti-

jammers, and related equipment, to be installed on aircraft in order to overcome the growing threats of

jamming and spoofing. This is expected to augment growth in the airborne GPS/GNSS devices market.

North America is the largest spender in the airborne GPS/GNSS devices market, constituting a XX% share of

the global market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, with respective shares of XX% and XX%.
