The coronavirus pandemic has spread worldwide and is causing disruptions in global economies. Several industries are experiencing different challenges due to the effect of the pandemic, including the military and defense weapon industry. The impact of the pandemic on the weapon system manufacturing was considerably moderate due to shortage of labor, lockdown and low work force. The defense establishment needs to not only procure and manufacture weapon systems. It also demands continuous repair and maintenance to keep them in service. For instance, in 2020, the Navy called up some 1,600 naval reservists to support aircraft carrier and repair work to replace workers deemed at high risk from the coronavirus.
The laser weapon systems market is moderately fragmented with a large number of regional players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 15.52% of the total market in 2020. Raytheon Technologies Corporation was the largest competitor with 4.69% of the market, followed by The Boeing Company with 2.73%, Lockheed Martin Corporation with 2.68%, Leidos Holdings, Inc. with 1.86%, Elbit Systems Ltd. with 0.93%, General Atomics with 0.87%, Northrop Grumman Corporation with 0.73%, BAE Systems with 0.58%, BlueHalo with 0.36% and Saab with 0.08%.
