Military electro-optical and infrared market to hit $16.35 billion by 2020

摘要

Global demand for military electro-optical and infrared sensors is expected to reach $16.35 billion by 2020, rising at a combined annual growth rate of 7.71 percent, predict analysts at market research MarketsandMarkets in Dallas. Electro-optic and infrared (EO/IR) systems are seen as critical force multipliers for military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) forces. In Naval platforms, electro-optic systems are finding increasing use in next-generation close-in weapon systems for target acquisition and engagement.
