The global UAV flight training and simulation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% during the forecast
period.
This research report titled ‘Global UAV Flight Training and
Simulation Market 2017-2021’ provides an in-depth analysis of the market in
terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market research report also
includes up to date analysis and forecasts for various market segments and all
geographical regions.
There is a growing number of consumers who are procuring
military UAVs and drones, who are in need of efficient pilot
training, thus driving the demand for UAV simulation systems. These systems
provide a real-time scenario, which provides operators with sufficient skill
and expertise to handle drones and UAVs in real life. In the defense sector,
they are used for battlefield management, aerial reconnaissance, and for
alerting against chemical, biological, and nuclear threats.

Based on UAV type, the report categorizes the global UAV flight
training and simulation market into the following segments:
·
High-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (HALE UAV)
·
Medium altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (MALE
UAV)
·
Small unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV)
High-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle
“UAV simulators are designed to provide training for UAV
operators and pilots, image interpreters, and mission commanders. These
simulators fabricate a generic aerodynamic model to provide mission-specific or
real-time operational training for high-altitude long-endurance UAVs,”
says Avimanyu Basu, one of the lead analysts at Technavio for defense research.
The simulators can provide trainees with real-time effects like
varying climatic conditions and terrains, and have trajectory planning modes
and simultaneous localization systems. Increasing adoption of HALE UAVs by
various governments in countries such as the US and Israel are driving the
market for these simulation and training systems.
Medium altitude, long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (MALE
UAV)
Defense authorities across various geographies are focused on
the development of MALE UAVs, due to their surveillance and strike
capabilities. MALE UAV simulators usually adopt synthetic aperture radars to
generate high-resolution images and operate in adverse weather conditions to
create a realistic synthetic environment for training.
The US Department of Defense invested USD 6.5 million in the
development of MALE UAVs. India, Germany, France, Britain, and Italy also have
invested in the development and procurement of these UAVs, thus driving market
growth.
Small unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV)
“Small unmanned air vehicles have been in demand, driven
by their vast applications in gathering information on measurement of
geophysical processes associated with natural disasters, agriculture, mining,
and defense industry. It is estimated that more than 7,500 SUAVs will be flying
during the forecast period to cater to these sectors,” says Avimanyu.
Miniaturization of electronics driven by advancements in
micro-electronics, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and global positioning
system has been a major boost to the development of SUAVs. The small and
non-intrusive sensors in these drones dramatically improve the maneuverability
and control, thereby making low-ground and stormy weather flight safer. These
advancements require an up-to-date simulator that can be reprogrammed with the
constantly evolving technology.
