Anti-Submarine Warfare Forecast

In the apparent calm that is today’s ASW environment, the capabilities of submarines are being revolutionized by the introduction of air independent propulsion for diesel-electric submarines, new weapons and sensor technologies, and new silencing techniques. A particularly promising development is the widespread introduction of unmanned underwater vehicles that could take over some of the more hazardous duties now carried out by manned submarines. Anti-Submarine Warfare Forecast presents a series of detailed reports on the technologies available for countering the submarine threat. These include the sensors available for detecting hostile submarines and the weaponry available to prosecute those contacts once made.

Anti-Submarine Warfare Forecast tracks a market that is undergoing profound change as ASW tactics and technology adapt to an era of ill-defined undersea threats. Of particular interest are the reports that cover the research & development programs of the U.S. Navy, since these provide the seeds from which a future market will grow. Anti-Submarine Warfare Forecast provides a level of coverage of program developments not found in any other source.

FI's Naval Systems Market Intelligence Services cover two distinct markets: anti-submarine warfare and warships. The Anti-Submarine Warfare Forecast provides market analysis of the sensors and weaponry used in the detection and prosecution of submarines, while the Warships product covers the full range of worldwide warship programs, including reports on key naval weapons and unmanned surface and subsurface vehicles.

Advanced technologies and new operational concepts will drive procurement in the warships market. Warships Forecast contains reports on the key submarine, aircraft carrier, surface combatant, amphibious warfare, and underway replenishment programs that will dominate the warship industry over the next decade and beyond. Each report contains a full design history of the ship, an extensive list of major contractors and subcomponent suppliers, and a wealth of information on the ship’s performance and operational capabilities. Also featured in this service are reports covering key nav

Aviation assets are undoubtedly the most mobile, flexible and cost-effective ASW systems available to the world's navies. Whether they are shore-based long-range maritime patrol aircraft or ship-based short-range helicopters, aircraft form the primary means of defense against a submarine attack and are the key weapon in an offensive against enemy submarine forces. Both U.S. and international systems and programs are represented in this analysis, with most units either in production or expected to enter production in the near future.

This analysis correlates the individual 10-year forecasts of surface combatant construction. It is based on detailed research involving data obtained from open civil and military sources, and subjected to painstaking analysis and verification. This analysis surveys leading programs in order to ascertain market patterns.

The market for naval weapons systems includes both missiles and guns, and it covers those sales likely to be garnered by specific weapons systems already in production or currently in development. Due to the length of the forecast period, an increasing percentage of the market will be taken by systems that do not yet exist or for which inadequate information is available. A comparison of platform requirements and weapons projections shows this gray area to be between 15 and 30 percent of the total, mostly concentrated in the last three years of the forecast period.

An examination of the world’s navies reveals an interesting pattern. When they run out of money, the last capability they abandon is their submarine fleet. Their submarines are seen as the most cost-effective part of their overall fleet and thus are preserved as long as possible. This effect can be seen in the most recent British defense review, where the surface combatant fleet saw savage cuts, the amphibious warfare squadron only slightly less so, but the submarine fleet was preserved intact. This analysis presents the overall trends and market indicators evident in the individ

The undersea warfare market structure is changing.  The high-cost sector of the market is expanding as new unmanned vehicles, torpedoes, and fire control systems are developed to replace older-generation equipment.  Meanwhile, production of low-cost items like sonobuoys is declining as the need to chase submarine contacts fades.  This analysis is an examination of the systems and competitors that make up the various undersea warfare market arenas and niches.
