Anti-Drone Market Evolves with AI Detection, Directed-Energy Weapons & Multi-Layered C‑UAS Solutions | DataMIntelligence

Anti-drone market soars with AI detection, RF jamming, directed-energy weapons, safeguarding airports, bases, and infrastructure against hostile UAS.

SOUTH DAKOTA, SD, UNITED STATES, July 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Anti Drone Market growth is driven by escalating security threats from hostile unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the proliferation of commercial and recreational drones, and the urgent need to protect critical infrastructure and military assets. Heightened concerns over terrorist and criminal use of drones for reconnaissance, contraband delivery, and surveillance have propelled investments in detection, tracking, and neutralization solutions. Applications span military perimeter defense, airport safety, correctional facility security, urban law enforcement, VIP protection, and event security. Advances in radar, radio-frequency (RF) jamming, directed-energy weapons, and AI-enabled tracking software are enhancing detection accuracy and response times, while integration with existing C4ISR architectures ensures seamless threat mitigation.

The Anti-Drone Market reached US$ 2.45 billion in 2024 and is forecast to surge to US$ 20.94 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 27.2% from 2025 through 2033. As drone capabilities evolve with longer endurance, stealth features, and swarm tactics the market is responding with multi-layered defense platforms combining sensors, effectors, and command-and-control systems to deliver reliable, scalable protection across civilian and military domains.
