Market Introduction
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been designed and developed for military and civilian applications.The UAV manufacturing sector in North America is in the growth phase of its life cycle.

These vehicles are widely used for fighter combat, surveillance, aircraft carrier operations, stealth missions, and military communications applications.The drone technology is interdisciplinary with the integration of aerospace structures, telemetry, electronics, and other components.

The production of UAVs requires a substantial number of electronic components for the data recording and transmission applications, and also for avionic functions.The antennas are among the most vital electronic components of any UAV, as these antennas enable the vehicle to transmit data to and receive data from other systems, as well as the people on the ground.

The antennas which are utilized on unmanned vehicles are, in general, flexible, rugged dipole or blade antennas with the omnidirectional coverage. Thus, as UAVs’ demand increases across North America, the need for a broader range of antennas increases for data communications systems, payloads, command and control systems. Factors such as growing drone procurement by military forces due to higher defense budgets and rising interest in circular omni directional antennas are expected to drive the North America defense drone antenna market. Furthermore, in case of COVID-19, North America is highly affected specially the US. North America is one of the most important regions for the adoption and growth of new technologies owing to favorable government spending capabilities, the presence of a drone manufacturing companies, UAV component manufacturing companies, and high purchasing power, especially in developed countries such as the US and Canada. The majority of the manufacturing plants in region are either temporarily shut or operating with minimum staff; the supply chain of components and parts is disrupted; these are some of the critical issues faced by the country. Since the US has a larger density of UAV manufacturers and component manufacturers, the outbreak has severely affected the production of each. The lower number of manufacturing staff has resulted in fall in production quantity. In addition, the demand for defense equipment has been showcasing a slowdown since the outbreak of the virus in the country. The supply side shocks are some of the most noticeable effects of the pandemic’s impact on the defense sector. In addition, the US Department of Defense has postponed contracts for several UAV systems and their components across the globe, which is another concern for the antenna manufacturers, and this in turn is hindering the procurement rate.

Market Overview and Dynamics
The North America defense drone antenna market is expected to grow from US$ 259.85 million in 2019 to US$ 410.16 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2 % from 2020 to 2027. Progressive advancements in drone antenna is expected to affect the North America defense drone antenna market in a positive way. The stupendous increase in the drone usage among the defense forces across North America is leading several companies, universities, and research labs to channelize their efforts toward technological enhancements. An antenna is among the key technologies on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) since the component facilitates the communication between the UAVs and Base Station (BS). With an objective to enhance the communication capabilities of the modern-day military UAVs, a group of researcher in North America has developed compact, sabre-like antenna that can switch between two radiation patterns for better communication coverage which is called novel antenna technology. The novel antenna technology incorporates two metal radiators; the first is a monopole radiator, while the second is a dipole radiator. The monopole radiator is perpendicular to the ground with an omnidirectional signal transmission pattern, and the dipole is parallel to the ground with a broadside pattern, which allows creating a signal that fills the technological gap of the blind spot (communication with satellites) in conventional sabre-like antennas. So the progressive advancements in drone antenna such as novel antenna technology is expected to increase the demand of drone antenna which will drive the North America defense drone antenna market.
