In this report, Technavio highlights the development of alternate propulsion technologies for UAV as one of the key emerging trends in the global UAV market:

Global UAV market: Development of alternate propulsion technologies for UAV

Commercial and military UAV manufacturers have long been strategizing over the adoption of alternative propulsion technologies for UAVs. With several vendors experimenting with such innovative technologies, the dependence of UAVs on fossil fuels has reduced significantly. Within the last five years, hydrogen fuel cells have emerged as a viable alternative fuel to replace Li-ion batteries in mid- to large-size drones, and their efficiency in terms of weight/power ratios is increasing rapidly.

“The fuel cells offer compelling value for UAVs due to improved reliability over small internal combustion engines, enhancing safe and low maintenance operation. UAV systems powered by fuel cells operate longer than their battery counterparts, with the same benefits of low thermal and noise signature. Another alternative to fossil fuels is solar power. UAV manufacturers have already realized the potential of this alternative power source and are continuously involved in R&D to solve the existing problems such as low surface area to capture sunlight for sustainable flight,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on defense.
