Hull Mounted Sonar System Market Outlook – 2027 

The global hull mounted sonar system market is experiencing a significant growth due to increasing demand for sonar systems in naval forces for anti-submarine capabilities. Hull-mounted sonar is the main underwater sensor of naval platforms, which detects submarines, unmanned underwater vehicles, diver delivery vehicles and mines with accurate localization as it employs advanced adaptive signal and information processing techniques for detection, tracking, and classification of targets. Sonar system uses propagation of sound in fluid to navigate, communicate, and detect other objects under the water surface.  Actives sonars work similar to radars in detection of targets up to a certain range, whereas passive sonars are stealth system used in anti-submarine warfare.

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 autonomous ships are the factors that drive the global hull mounted sonar system market. However, marine life hazard due to sonar usage hinders 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 hull mounted sonar system market trends are as follows:

Rise in adoption of autonomous ships

For instance, in September, 2020, Mayflower (an autonomous ship) will launch from Plymouth (seaside town on the English Channel) to set a voyage for the other side of the Atlantic. The ship will be fully autonomous, with no crew or passengers on board and will be powered by solar panels and a wind turbine at its stern. The boat has a backup electrical generator on board, with no plans to refuel the boat at sea if the generator backup runs dry. Mayflower’s radar, cameras, lights, antennas, satellite-navigation equipment, and sonar pods will all be perched above the hull on a specially outfitted mast. In addition, the hull mounted sonar system will be used along with additional system in a science bay for experiments to measure oceanographic, climate, and meteorological data. Moreover, during the boat’s voyage a variety of electronics such as weather system, sensors, and regulatory data, as well as communication system operated by the IBM systems onshore that will continue to train the AI algorithms. Such rise in adoption of autonomous ships is expected to boost the global hull mounted sonar system market.
