Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are also known as autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs). They can be operated with a remote controlling device, or are autonomous or semi-autonomous. These vehicles are pre-programmed to perform certain defined tasks.In this report, the market has been calculated on the basis of revenue generated from the sales of USVs. The market has been segmented based on end-users under defense and civilian segments, and as per geographies. It also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top vendors operating in the market.

Yachts are recreational boats designed with luxury amenities, and are purchased by individuals belonging to the high-income group. Yachts with a length greater than 24 feet are known as luxury yachts, superyachts, mega yachts, or large yachts. They are segmented based on size and propulsion, and are largely used for recreational purposes. The luxury yachts market has private and commercial buyers. These customers include HNWIs who purchase yachts for personal use. It also includes commercial buyers who are fleet operators and they lease/rent out yachts for events such as business meetings or recreational purposes.

The global marine deck machinery market is dependent on the performance of the global shipbuilding industry. This is because marine deck machineries are essential for water-borne vehicles such as boats, cruises, merchant and passenger ships, tankers, and bulk carriers to move on water. Therefore, a greater demand for building new ships will likely lead to higher demand for marine deck machineries. Many countries lack the essential natural resources to produce various consumer goods, because of which these nations are heavily dependent on the shipping industry to carry out trade on a global scale.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) simulation is the training given to pilots to control an unmanned aircraft from control station.UAV flight simulation extends a virtual environment and replicates an exact realtime activity coupled with external factors such as turbulence, cloud, air density, and wind shear. Under such conditions, the pilot is trained to govern the flight of an UAV and operate the flight using flight controls.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario (with the base year being 2016) and the growth prospects of the global unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload and subsystems market for 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated in the overall defense market from the procurement of sensors and cameras, weaponry, radars and communication systems, and other types of UAV payload and subsystems (ground control stations [GCS] and onboard computers).However, both funded and unfunded R&D investments in the development of UAV prototypes and payload components were not considered when deriving the market size for the base and projected years.

Unmanned Sea Systems: An unmanned sea system is the platforms that can be operated either on the water surface or below the water level without any human operator. These systems have multiple applications including commercial and military.This report covers unmanned sea system, including both unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) that are engaged in military missions.

中船防务先后通过收购中船龙穴、黄埔文冲等公司完成了对集团在华南地区优质造船资产的整合，进一步完善了军、民用船舶产品体系，未来公司有望通过民船产品升级和军船订单放量而实现业绩可观增长。

一个世纪以来，军用无人机应用空间不断拓展升级，功能由靶机、通信中继、侦察监视、战场评估等战术支援角色向电子对抗、火力打击拓展，遂行任务的空间向中高空、超视距过渡。从未来作战样式来看，有人/无人机协同作战、蜂群作战等对无人机系统隐身化、模块化、智能化提出了更高的要求。 

2017 年 7 月 30 日，为庆祝建军 90 周年，习近平总书记在朱日和训练基地检阅中国人民解放军。本次阅兵集中映射出新时期下人民军队实战化、信息化、模块化、机动化四大特点。 

无人机是全球应用最广泛的无人武器，而无人舰艇、地面机器人是无人武器新势力。我们本系列报告第八篇详细梳理全球 UMS/ UGS 发展脉络，探索其在军用/民用市场的商业价值，寻找潜在投资机会。推荐海兰信，关注天和防务、三力士等。
