Rising Demand for Enhanced Situational Awareness and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Capabilities
Modern military operations increasingly rely on real-time situational awareness and effective intelligence gathering to gain a strategic advantage. EO/IR systems play a critical role in ISR missions by providing high-resolution imagery, target identification, and tracking in diverse environmental conditions, including low visibility and nighttime scenarios.

The growing need for 24/7 surveillance and improved target acquisition in complex battlefields is driving defence agencies to invest heavily in advanced EO/IR systems. For example, the U.S. military's investment in next-generation EO/IR sensors for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) enhances their ability to conduct long-endurance reconnaissance and precision strikes. Additionally, the integration of AI-based analytics with EO/IR data further strengthens threat detection and decision-making processes.
High Development and Acquisition Costs
The development and deployment of advanced EO/IR systems require significant financial investment, which can strain defence budgets. High-performance sensors, thermal imaging cameras, laser targeting systems, and integrated software demand costly research, engineering, and testing processes. Additionally, EO/IR systems designed for next-generation platforms such as fifth-generation fighter jets or autonomous drones require advanced materials and miniaturization techniques, further increasing production costs.

For example, the Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) on the F-35 Lightning II adds substantial costs to the overall program due to the complexity and precision required. Budget constraints in key defence markets, including Europe and North America, can delay procurement programs or reduce order volumes, limiting market growth potential.
