Micro Tactical Ground Robot Market Report 2026

The micro tactical ground robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.68 billion in 2025 to $6.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to military modernization programs, growth in asymmetric warfare scenarios, increased use of robotics in bomb disposal, rising urban security threats, adoption of unmanned systems in defense forces.

The micro tactical ground robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.4 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in autonomous navigation, increasing defense and homeland security budgets, growing demand for force protection technologies, expansion of smart battlefield initiatives, rising use of robots in disaster response operations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of lightweight tactical robots in urban operations, growing demand for all terrain mobility in compact ground robots, rising adoption of remote operated systems for high risk missions, expansion of multi mission capabilities in micro ground robots, increasing focus on enhanced durability for harsh operational environments.

An increase in defense expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market going forward. Defense budgets allocate federal funds for personnel, training, medical expenses, and the maintenance and acquisition of weapons and equipment. Higher defense spending often translates into increased investment in military technologies, such as micro tactical ground robots, boosting demand for these systems. For example, in April 2025, the International Peace Bureau, a Germany-based peace and disarmament organization, reported that global military spending reached $2.7 billion, reflecting a 9.4% increase in 2024 compared with the previous year. Therefore, rising defense expenditure is fueling the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market.

The rise in terrorism is also expected to support the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market. Terrorism is defined as violent and unlawful activity aimed at using intimidation, coercion, or fear to achieve ideological, political, religious, or social objectives. Increasing terrorist threats drive demand for advanced technologies, with micro tactical ground robots providing critical support for enhancing security, protecting lives, and countering evolving threats. For instance, in 2023, Vision of Humanity, an Australia-based NGO, reported that the US accounted for 76% of terrorism-related deaths among Western democracies, despite a 15-year low in incident rates. Therefore, rising terrorism is contributing to market growth for micro tactical ground robots.

In November 2025, Ondas, a US-based provider of wireless networking solutions and IoT communications technology, acquired Roboteam for $80 million. This acquisition enables Ondas to expand its capabilities in advanced robotics and unmanned systems, enhancing its solutions portfolio for defense and commercial applications. Roboteam is an Israel-based provider of robotic systems, autonomous platforms, and unmanned ground vehicle technologies.
