Market Overview

Unmanned composites are especially versatile materials designed for use in the production of unmanned systems, including unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and unmanned water vehicles (UUVs). For unmanned platforms, effective and long-lasting materials, these materials should have a high strength-to-vision ratio, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and extraordinary endurance. Fiber, including carbon, glass, or Aramid fiber, is usually placed in a polymer, metal, or ceramic matrix to make composites. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is the most commonly used material in unmanned applications due to its remarkable mechanical properties and low weight. By reducing the overall structural weight of unmanned vehicles, these materials enable cargo capacity, better fuel economy, and an increase in the long operating range. Real-time structural health monitoring is made possible by increasing both safety and maintenance effectiveness by including smart materials and sensors in the composite. The increasing deployment of unmanned systems across defense, aerospace, marine, and industrial sectors has significantly accelerated the demand for unmanned composites. In defense and aerospace, they are used in airframes, propellers, wings, and sensor housings to enhance stealth, and endurance.
