Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global UAV Payload and Subsystems Market 2017-2021" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global UAV payload and subsystems market to grow at a CAGR of 7.72% during the period 2017-2021.

UAVs are controlled remotely either by a pilot at a ground station or by onboard computers. Payloads are one of the major components in UAVs. These payloads consist of various equipment and systems depending on their specific mission requirement. As technology has advanced in the last one decade, many different types of UAVs have been developed and inducted into military operations.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global UAV payload and subsystems market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated in the overall defense market from the procurement of sensors and cameras, weaponry, radars and communication systems, and other types of UAV payload and subsystems (ground control stations [GCS] and onboard computers).

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is increasing demand for lightweight UAV payload. The use of carbon composite materials in manufacturing UAV airframes has gained acceptance widely. These materials ensure reduced weight and enhanced service life, reducing the overall maintenance cost per landing. Many companies have been using these composite manufacturing technologies for UAVs since the last decade.
