What’s on the horizon of aerospace and defence industry in upcoming years?

Technological advancement is acting like the DNA for various business sectors. There are several non-technical industries too that are incorporating latest technologies and giving a kick start to their never ending business growth, then why aerospace and defence industry will lag back in the race of technological advancements. There were certain prototypes on which A&D industry ever worked, but now this sector is also getting influenced with the rapid technological growth. The upcoming years are going to unfold few unseen and never imagined aspects of A&D industry with a huge spike in industry development. Technologies and innovations are going to completely reshape A&D sector ranging from short term to long term changes.

Electric propulsion aircraft: Aerospace industry is backed up with a number of technological developments but still there are certain loop holes that are acting as the hindrance for the business growth. Rocket propulsion was one of those that resulted in an increase of carbon emission. Now most of the aerospace companies all over the globe started developing electric propulsion system that assisted them to reduce the aircraft cost, make it lighter, noise free and also decrease the carbon emission.

How cyber security plays a crucial role in defense industry?

In defense sector every minute is important, a delay of single minute can create big loses. Defense requires a technology which is efficient, prompt, and quick, just like its force. Like other business industries, defense is also heading towards the digital world with a growing digital data generation, storage, and also transmission. Data security in defense industry holds a critical level that weighs equal to security of the nation. The defense data are exchanged at several levels and this sensitive data being on a digital channel has a threat of cyber-attack. The US government has issued several cyber security regulations those are mend for the defense contractors in order to boost the security.

Role of cyber security in defense: The main objective of cyber security is to protect information and data saved on digital networks and also to provide a safe channel for data propagation. Like other business sector, now most of the military operations are digitized and the information about their each activity is critical and confidential. Hence, defense sector demands a highly robust digital channel that can never be intruded by anyone.

Aerospace and Defense Industry Outlook in 2020

The year 2020 has come up with several challenges for everyone. None of the business industries are untouched from its impact and so the aerospace and defense industry too.  Based on the last year’s business growth, year 2020 was predicted with lot more hopes and was forecasted with a high demand of aircrafts. The rapid technological growth was expected to come up with many more latest innovations to bring revolution in the industry. Since, the pandemic hit the globe very immensely and dragged all the predictions below the line. Now, aerospace and defense industry requires a potential strategy that can cover up all the new challenges occurred due to pandemic and again thrive over the industry with new ray of hopes.

Anyhow, aerospace is one of the most impacted business sectors due to pandemic but the major consciousness has been witnessed by commercial aerospace sectors that even lad many aerospace agencies to windup their services due to least traffic of passengers. To recover from the challenges and loss occurred in the recent year, aerospace and defense has come up with new trends, which are listed below:

Drone technology: A new face of aerospace and defense industry

Drones, also known as unnamed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an amazing innovation which can be considered as a miniature pilotless aircrafts in the air preprogrammed for the functionalities and also can be controlled from a far distance. These small aircrafts are gaining a rapid popularity among various industries but the mass adoption of this technology is still a question mark for several industries. On the other hand there are few industries which were considered as impenetrable for such technologies are now adopting the drone technology at a huge scale for distinct purposes, and one of those sectors are defense. The drones have made its impeccable space in those industries which were stagnant for other technologies. Right from the delivery at the peak and busy hours till penetrating in a far military camp, drone has proven its expertise and efficiency. It has a potential to increase the work efficiency and drag the workload down by automating certain tasks.
