Weapons Carriage & Release System Market by Platform, Weapon Type, Systems Component, End Use - Global Forecast to 2025 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Weapons Carriage & Release System Market by Platform (Fighter Aircraft, Combat Support Aircraft, Helicopters, UAVs), Weapon Type (Missiles, Bombs, Rockets, Torpedoes), Systems Component, End Use, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The weapons carriage & release system market is projected to grow from USD 462 million in 2019 to USD 554 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2019 to 2025.

Weapons carriage & release technology is used to help aircraft successfully deliver mission payloads. Racks, rail launchers, adapters, and pylons are used by aircraft to carry weapon loads. Along with these, the ejection control unit provides aircraft with the ability to communicate directly with smart and precision guidance-payloads and generate compatibility with a wide range of stores and platforms.

Weapon control electronics in multiple carriage systems provide safe and reliable control of precision weapons carried and released by racks. The scalability, modularity, and reliability offered by weapons carriage & release systems have resulted in increased demand from air forces of different countries.

Companies in the weapon carriage & release system market are focusing on the advancement of adapters, racks, ejection units, and other systems to harness the power of air to reduce weight, improve performance, and function cleaner. Next-generation pneumatic and electronically actuated systems are being developed to reduce the weight of aircraft and make them fuel-efficient with a view to prolonging their service life and reducing their maintenance cost. Advanced carriage & release systems support the long-endurance requirements of fighter aircraft and unmanned systems and offer multiple carriage capabilities that are compatible with legacy and emerging weapon systems.

Companies such as Cobham PLC (UK), Harris Corporation (US), Systima Technologies (US), Marvin Group (US), Marotta Controls (US), and ALKAN (France), among others have received contracts from governments of different countries to supply various weapons carriage & release systems.
