Terrain Awareness and Warning System Market-Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2030F Segmented By System Type (Class A, Class B, Class C), By Engine Type (Piston Engine, Turbine Engine), By Application, By Region

Global Terrain Awareness and Warning System Market is expected to grow significantly during the next few years. The recent shift in consumer behavior in the transportation industry and the increase in the number of commercial flights are the main drivers for market expansion. Additionally, the requirement that terrain awareness and warning systems be installed in aircraft, as set forth by the aviation regulation agencies, is fostering industry expansion.

The Terrain Detection and Warning System (TAWS) is primarily used to provide warnings to pilots. TAWS is used to perform maneuvers and data corrections required for terrain avoidance. The usage of the terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS) aims to avoid accidents involving controlled flight into terrain. The technology alters the trajectory in accordance with the terrain and the weather, adding a crucial layer of security to the navigation of the aircraft. Aircraft inputs such as airspeed, glideslope, flight plan, position, altitude, and airport databases allow TAWS to predict potential conflicts between the terrain and the aircraft's future trajectory.

The TAWS market is increasing because of the military transport community. Additionally, increasing adoption of TAWS in fighter jets is expected to boost the market. Also, several developed regions are adopting TAWS for aircraft protection, which is driving the market growth. TAWS has been implemented on cargo flights and private jets in countries with a high technological base, positively impacting the market

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the world, many defense and aerospace companies are facing its impact. Commercial airlines in the United States, France, Germany, and Canada are facing disruptions to their production processes and reduced demand as staff stays home, passengers stop traveling, and new aircraft deliveries are delayed. On the defense side, the impact of the pandemic is likely to be small in the short to medium term as contractors working in this sector are in a better position. However, low demand due to budgetary constraints will affect production in the same way that aircraft manufacturing does.

Increasing Demand in Commercial and Military Aircraft

The Terrain Awareness and Warning System provides both commercial and military aircraft with the best terrain prediction and cutting-edge avoidance technology. The military and defense industry is investing more money in cutting-edge airplane safety technologies worldwide. To increase safety, military fleet owners prioritize installing advanced terrain profile matching (TERPROM) systems in fighter aircraft. Thus, the military and defense industry's growing need for precise, secure, and dependable warning systems creates a huge potential for terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS) businesses globally.

High demand for traffic collision avoidance systems

The collision avoidance system market is fueling the growth of the global terrain awareness and warning system market due to increasing demand for safe operation and improved maneuverability to avoid fatalities and other aviation hazards. In November 2019, Airbus Helicopters selected the Lynx Multilink Surveillance System from ACSS, a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies and Thales, for its NH90 platform. The LYNX product line is considered a lightweight solution for helicopters and provides the highest level of safety for pilots and situational awareness. In August 2020, Garmin International Inc. invested a significant amount of money in updating the G5000 integrated flight deck. To provide the pilot with alerts and cautions in advance, TAWS was included in the G5000 as part of the redesign. The Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System was installed on the CHC AW139 fleet in March 2021 thanks to a partnership between CHC Group, Leonardo Helicopters, and Shell Brasil (H-TAWS). Thus, increasing awareness of aircraft TAWS equipment, advanced airfield facilities, and other formal safety management systems for new-generation aircraft are driving the global terrain awareness and warning system market.

Costly Terrain Awareness and Warning System Installation

A visual alert of the landing configuration and approaching terrain is provided to the flight crew via the Terrain Awareness and Warning System. The TAWS equipment provides corrective operation for improved situation awareness; however, the initial cost of TAWS is high to satisfy the required degree of safety. As a result, a barrier to the expansion of the Terrain Awareness and Warning System Market is the high cost of TAWS procurement and deployment in aircraft, despite their superior performance.
