Aerostat is a lighter-than-air platform that consists of an aerodynamic balloon tethered to the ground cables. They are widely used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, communication, law enforcement, border patrolling, weather forecasting, and coast guarding. The need for an aerostat system fundamentally arise from one of the most increased threshold levels of competitive parameters in the manufacturing arena which includes low-cost and long-endurance surveillance capabilities. The aerostat systems market has huge potential due to its various applications in the homeland security and defense segments. The North America aerostat systems industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2014 to 2019.

The increasing demand for the Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) drives the growth of aerostat systems market in North America. This market is expected to increase in future with the expanding security coverage in other parts of the region. However, factors such as cut down on defense expenditure, alternative technology adaptation, and less payload capacity restrain the growth of this market. The North America aerostat systems market is currently valued at $1,379.1 million. The market is expected to grow in tandem with growth in the unmanned aerial systems sector.

The market has been broadly segmented into military, homeland security, and commercial applications on the basis of aerostat application. Military application led the segment in 2014, with 48.3% share. The market for aerostat systems in military application is projected to reach $1,051.5 million at a CAGR of 9.6% through the forecast period.

The North America aerostat systems market, by aerostat class, is broadly classified into small, medium and large aerostat systems. The medium aerostat systems market accounted for a share of 38.2% of the North America aerostat systems market in 2014. However, the market for large aerostat system is projected to grow at a higher CAGR of 12.01% from 2014 to 2019. Aerostat class and payload are attached depending on the mission. Accordingly, the aerostat balloon type is decided. Thus, an efficient, effective, and optimized aerostat is developed.

The key players in North America aerostat systems markets include TCOM, L.P. (U.S.), Lockheed Martin Corporation (U.S.), Raytheon (U.S.), Raven Industries, Inc. (U.S.), Aeroscraft Corporation (U.S.), and Near Space Systems, Inc. (U.S.) among others.
