A smart weapon is a military device that can hit a target with high accuracy using a control system. Smart weapons such as missiles or grenade launchers are usually equipped with a satellite, laser, or satellite navigation system. Smart weapons are different from smart weapons as smart weapons use control systems that rely on outside help, while smart weapons control themselves completely. A smart bomb with a laser-guided system is controlled by the pilot who directs the laser beam to the target. The beam is locked to the target with the help of a computer.

A bomb-set sensor helps detect laser light reflection. The bomb moves in its orbit with the help of a control computer, which pulls the moving wings to direct it. The television control system uses a television camera in the nose of the weapon to save the image of the target identified by the driver. Satellite guided bombs use precision computers to secure their purpose with the help of signals from roaming satellites and tail fines to adjust the direction of the bomb as it falls. Cruise arrows also use the information provided by navigating satellites to maintain their direction during flight.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19

The impact of COVID-19 on the smart weapons business is unpredictable, and it is expected to be in effect for a few years.

The COVID-19 outbreak compelled governments around the world to impose strict lockdown and ban import-export of raw materials for the majority of 2020 and a few months in 2021. This resulted in a rapid decrease in the availability of critical raw ingredients for the manufacture of smart weapons.

Furthermore, the nationwide shutdown compelled smart weapons manufacturing facilities to shut down partially or fully.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread delays in efforts and initiatives related to the development of sophisticated smart weaponry.

The market is divided into five product categories: Missiles, Munitions, Guided Projectiles, Guided Rockets, and Directed Energy Weapons. Missiles are classified as anti-tank and standoff missiles, air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, and anti-ship and anti-submarine missiles. Target Pods and Guided Bombs are examples of munitions. Because of the increasing demand for Advance Guided Missiles by various defence forces, the missiles category is likely to have a significant market presence.

The market is divided into three categories: air, naval, and land. Due to global cross-border tensions and rising defence investment by many economies, the land segment is predicted to have the biggest market presence throughout the CAGR period.

The market is divided into four technology segments: laser guidance, infrared guidance, radar guidance, and satellite guidance. Radars with Active Homing and Passive Homing are two types of radars. Radars with Infrared  Homing and Imaging Infrared Homing are two types of radars. Because of its operational efficiency and high precision with which it can effect its goal, Laser-Guided technology is predicted to have a significant market presence during the projection period. Over the last ten years, modern military strategies have evolved rapidly. Both industrialized and developing countries are working on advanced missile systems with long range and high effectiveness

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
