Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market Projected to Grow at a Fast Pace with Increasing Adoption in Defense & Commercial

Unmanned ground vehicle market has a great potential for naval operations, playing an important role in support of Marine Corps combat. They can also assist in logistics operations ashore and afloat. The full development and the development of UGVs capable of operating in a wide variety of situations require solving a number of difficult technical challenges.

Unmanned ground vehicle market says navy and marine are not alone in developing unmanned systems, as the naval applications of UGVs overlap significantly with army applications. In parallel with naval efforts, development programs sponsored by army, the unmanned military vehicles advanced research projects agency and the office of the secretary of defense have been ongoing for 20 years. At the system level, much progress has been made in road following, less progress has been made in off-road, cross country UAV navigation. 

The Unmanned ground vehicle market has showed some of the progress and achieved through better understanding of the problems sand through better algorithms, much of the headway may be attributed to faster computation. Commercial applications of unmanned surface vehicle are also beginning to be made for example, in the underground mining, strip mine haulage, crop harvesting, golf course mowing, ship cleaning, and for many other purposes. For logistics applications, a number of commercial automated guided vehicles (AVGs) are in daily use in factories around the world.

The other interventions are developing UGVs or related technology. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Uses UGVs for planetary exploration. The department of energy needs UGV projects for nuclear site maintenance and coal mining, the department of homeland security employs UGVs for search and rescue with the help of ground robot. The department of transportation is developing UGVs as cars, trucks, and buses that can drive themselves or assist a human driver. The recent study says North America, is dominating the present market with higher utilization in army and commercial applications. Asia-Pacific is likely to get maximum number of shares in development and usage. This will happen in the regions of China and India.
