Global Active Protection System (APS) Market - Analysis & Forecasts to 2021 - Research and Markets

The "Global Active Protection System (APS) Market 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The report forecasts the global active protection system (APS) market to grow at a CAGR of 6.29% during the period 2017-2021.

The report, Global Active Protection System (APS) Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One trend in the market is development of modular APS. Modular APS aim to incorporate capabilities that will be functional even against future missiles. Hence, the vision for modular APS is to develop a suite of plug-and-play systems that will be able to adapt to the different threats as well as different army vehicles.

One driver in the market is development of airraft APS. With the proven success of APS for ground vehicles, OEMs are now focusing on developing APS for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. Helicopters, which usually hover at low altitudes, are highly vulnerable to damage from man portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) or shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles. To counter such damage, Orbital ATK (News - Alert) unveiled its first Helicopter Active Protection Systems (HAPS) in 2015 at a Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC). The APS can identify an incoming threat and launch and guide a Kill Vehicle to the precise location to detonate the warhead at a point where the RPG is rendered ineffective.
