Briefing Series: World Military & Civil Aircraft Briefing
This overview provides a look at aircraft within the individual segments of the special mission aircraft market. It is also written to provide a quick update on programs that we have not updated recently. There are no numbers in this overview, because market shares and forecast comparisons are irrelevant due to the diffuse types of aircraft involved (and the predominance of retrofit and modification work).We have divided the Special Mission market into six segments. First is Maritime Patrol/ASW, followed by Air Surveillance, Ground Surveillance/ Command, Tankers, Electronic Warfare, and Bombers. All of these except bombers and combat maritime patrollers are broadly referred to as “Enablers.”
Methodology
The publisher's analysts employ a combination of empirical and expert centered approaches to forecasting across multiple global defense and aerospace markets. Numerous variables play into future market requirements: macroeconomics, geopolitics, regional competitiveness, public and private market forces, cost pressures, country‐specific budget constraints, supplier relationships, etc.
We maintain proprietary databases that provide a strong foundation for building a quantitative understanding of key relationships between the forces that drive the demand for an array of products, platforms, and systems. These data assets have been developed and expanded over 30 years of company operations and provide an unapparelled set of resources that make the publisher uniquely qualified to forecast future industry performance. These empirical fundamentals allow for rigorous modelling.
In addition to this highly structured, data-driven perspective, the publisher through the expertise of its analysts has a comprehensive qualitative understanding of the forces that shape market demand. It is our position that forecasting demands both empirical understanding and artistic interpretation based on insights gained from decades of dedicated research and analysis. The result is a forecast that combines both to achieve a highly informed window to the future.
