Strategic Intelligence: Loitering Munitions (2026)
The 2026 Strategic Intelligence report on loitering munitions surveys a market transformed by widespread combat use and faster procurement cycles. It examines major manufacturers, national programs, platform classes, guidance and communications technology, production trends and the boundary between reusable drones and expendable precision weapons. The report also considers lessons involving electronic warfare, autonomy, cost and industrial scale. It is an analytical commercial publication rather than a contract announcement, so its forecasts and competitive assessments should be read as research judgments rather than confirmed acquisition outcomes.
