The growing regional frictions and extremist attack tensions in Asia (especially in the South China Sea and the Atlantic Ocean) are driving the need for aircraft carriers.The accelerated use of nuclear energy to power aircraft carriers is a major driver of the market. The use of nuclear energy is cheaper compared with diesel and will result in increased power and reduced greenhouse missions.The introduction of Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is an emerging trend in the market because it is light; energy efficient; requires lesser space, low maintenance, and workforce; and effectively enables aircraft launch.The Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, developed by Huntington Ingalls Industries, is a major product in the market that will replace some of the Nimitz-class ships of the US Navy.
