Dipping Sonar System Market

Dipping Sonar System Market Outlook – 2027 

The global dipping sonar system market is experiencing a significant growth due to increasing demand for sonar systems in naval forces for anti-submarine capabilities. Sonar system uses propagation of sound in fluid to navigate, communicate, and detect other objects under the water surface. Sonar is acronym of sound navigation and ranging. A dipping sonar function in a manner similar to their shipboard equivalents, but the active mode can be used more freely as it is lowered into the water from a hovering aerial platform such as anti-submarine warfare helicopter to listen for sound signatures or emit active pings over a specific point, analyze the response until the search is complete. 

COVID-19 scenario analysis: 

Government has imposed lockdown to slow the spread of COVID-19 causing the sonar system manufacturers to halt manufacturing processes.

Ship builders are facing operational issues in ship construction and sonar system installation due to government decision to enforce lockdown in the wake of COVID-19.

Naval forces are forced to delay on-going military projects involving sonar system installation & upgradation, due to lack of workforce caused by the travel advisory issued by governments globally.

Sonar system manufacturers are witnessing disruption in supply chain of components and raw materials required for the development & testing of sonar system.

Maritime trade activities such as oil trade, are also on a standstill due to decline in demand. Government imposed travel restrictions due to COVID-19 pandemic has affected the maritime tourism activities as well.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers and impact analysis

Surge in maritime tourism activities, increase in demand for seaborne trade activities, and rise in adoption of seaborne attack helicopters are the factors that drive the global dipping sonar system market. However, marine life hazard due to sonar usage hinder the market growth. On the contrary, growing military naval fleets, research & development in sensor technology, and developments in artificial intelligence present new pathways in the industry. 

The global dipping sonar system market trends are as follows:

Rise in adoption of seaborne attack helicopters

Anti-submarine warfare systems are being developed to protect unprecedented attacks of aircraft carriers in hostile waters. The aviation arm of the US Defense Logistics Agency has awarded Thales Defense & Security Incorporated (defense contractor based in Maryland, US) 81.8 million USD sole-source contract, to provide spare parts for the AN/AQS-22 Airborne Low Frequency Sonar used by the US Navy. The AN/AQS-22 dipping sonar is used by the USN as the primary undersea warfare sensor for the MH-60R Seahawk multi-mission helicopter. The Sikorsky (defense system manufacturer headquartered in Connecticut, US) SH-60/MH-60 Seahawk is a twin turboshaft engine, multi-mission US Navy helicopter based on the United States Army UH-60 Black Hawk and a member of the Sikorsky S-70 family. The most significant modifications are the folding main rotor and a hinged tail to reduce its footprint aboard ships. Such rise in adoption of seaborne attack helicopters is expected to boost the global dipping sonar system market.
