Emerging Trends Shaping the Future of Military Gliders and Drones
Companies in the military gliders and drones market are actively innovating to meet expanding customer demands and boost revenue streams. One key development is the creation of hybrid unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which combine multiple propulsion methods or energy sources to deliver superior operational performance.

For instance, in February 2023, UK-based aerospace leader BAE Systems Plc introduced the STRIX drone. This multi-domain tandem-wing drone measures 2.6 meters by 4.5 meters (8.5 feet by 14.8 feet) and is designed for air-to-ground strikes, surveillance, and reconnaissance in high-risk environments. According to BAE Systems, the STRIX can travel up to 800 kilometers (497 miles) while carrying a payload of up to 160 kilograms (352 pounds). It can also accommodate various weapon systems, including those already deployed by the Australian military.
