Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The growing need for UAV flight simulation is notably driving the UAV flight training and simulation market growth, although factors such as growing emphasis on fully automated UAVs may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the UAV flight training and simulation industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key UAV Flight Training And Simulation Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the UAV flight training and simulation market is the growing need for UAV flight simulation. The growing number of UAV and UAS procurements is one of the major factors driving the need for efficient pilot training. UAV flight simulation and training allow the operators to get trained in a real-time scenario. The trainees are provided with the opportunity to operate UAVs in a virtual environment, which is realistic and accurate without any risks and constraints. Also, UAV flight simulation provides cost-efficient training while reducing the environmental impact. Moreover, the increasing number of military UAVs is propelling the need for effective training practice for users in situations that are not possible in airborne training exercises. In addition, UAVs are also being used for attacking enemy bases or fleets. Many countries are focusing on the development of attack drones such as Predators, MQ-9 Block 5 Reaper attack drones, MQ-1C Gray Eagle attack drones, and many more. Such highly advanced attack drones need efficient UAV operators. Therefore, with the growing number of UAVs in commercial and military applications, the defense authorities and various commercial organizations are significantly investing in UAV flight simulation and training.
Key UAV Flight Training And Simulation Market Trend
The evolution of synthetic training devices is another factor supporting the UAV flight training and simulation market growth in the forecast period. Virtual environments provide several benefits to UAV operators. An enhanced sense of presence in the virtual environment occurs with the ego-centered frame of reference. Therefore, the actual environment awareness of the real-time scenario is experienced by the pilot through maximum immersion. Moreover, the cost of training in a virtual environment has become much more commercially viable than before. It is also a safer option as compared to training in a real environment. Also, a wide range of synthetic training devices is being developed for UAV training tasks. The mission training systems are integrated with simulation software and COTS hardware, which will familiarize the pilots with enemy targets in the virtual environment. These systems deliver the fidelity and realism required to precisely simulate real-life visual sensor displays, including electro-optical, synthetic aperture radar, infra-red systems, laser range finder, laser target designator, ground moving target indication, light detection and ranging, protection sensors, SIGINT, and communication intelligence. Such advancements in the UAV flight training and simulation devices will further drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key UAV Flight Training And Simulation Market Challenge
Growing emphasis on fully automated UAVs will be a major challenge for the UAV flight training and simulation market during the forecast period. The lack of situational awareness has resulted in a significant number of UAV accidents, which have caused end-users considerable monetary losses and challenged the need for semi-automated UAVs. In order to reduce accident ratios, companies are focusing on the development of new technologies and systems, where human sources are not required in controlling UAVs. Hence, there is a growing emphasis on the development of fully autonomous UAVs, which will have a great impact on the global UAV flight training and simulation market. Moreover, the introduction of advanced automated systems (AAS) has significantly reduced the number of human powers required for the operation of UAVs. Traditional UAVs required a more dedicated workforce for monitoring and control, whereas, with AAS, a single person can monitor several UAVs at once. As technological innovations allow UAVs to operate more autonomously, human authority is only left with the function of supervision. Thereby, the need for pilot training is neglected, which has a negative impact on the global UAV flight training and simulation market.
