What Are the Critical Factors Driving Smart Weapons Market Development?
The growth of the smart weapons market is fueled by escalating global and regional chaos. This instability refers to political disturbances in surrounding nations. Numerous countries have embraced smart weapons to safeguard themselves against heightened regional unpredictability and threats from neighboring states. For instance, according to an academic community-supported documentation produced by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Sweden, in May 2023, there were 64 multinational peace operations implemented across 38 countries and territories around the world in 2022. This accounted for more actions recorded than the total in the preceding decade. By late 2022, the number of international personnel involved in multilateral peace operations worldwide had reached 114 984, a 2.79 percent increase from the year before. As a result, the surge in transnational and regional unrest propels the advancement of the smart weapons market.

What Are the Major Trends Transforming the Smart Weapons Industry?
Major players in the smart weapons market are shifting their focus towards the creation of innovative technologies such as EDGE smart weapons to improve accuracy, reduce unwanted damage, and heighten battlefield performance. EDGE Smart Weapons are sophisticated precision-guided munitions that employ the latest technological advancements like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-tech sensors to ramp up targeting precision and operational effectiveness. For instance, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., a US aerospace firm, developed the MQ-9B SkyGuardian RPA in November 2023. The MQ-9B SkyGuardian is known for its high endurance of over 40 hours, superior surveillance capabilities with high-resolution sensors, and its operational safety in civil airspace alongside commercial aircraft. Its adaptable design enables customizable payload implementation, making it suitable for a range of military and humanitarian operations. There has been a noticeable increase in strategic alliances and collaborations in the smart weapons market. Notably, in February 2021, Rheinmetall Denel Munition, a German auto and weapons manufacturer, and Northrop Grumman, an American aerospace and defense firm, signed a decade-long agreement to advance ammunition technologies for future artillery operations. This deal emphasizes on precision-guided enhanced range artillery ammunition solutions (PGK), outfitting 155mm artillery rounds with an integrated M1156 precision guidance kit.
