Growing need for autonomous systems for commercial and defence applications drives market expansion, as the broad range of applications for autonomous Unmanned ground vehicle is driving up demand in the defence and commercial sectors. In the agricultural industry, autonomous vehicles are utilised for soil sampling, mechanical weeding, irrigation control, crop harvesting, and precision spraying. Furthermore, these vehicles are commonly used by defence forces for combat support, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (IS) operations, among other things. As a result, rising defence procurement of sophisticated robotics is propelling market expansion. 

In recent years, significant stakeholders have started to focus the development of next-generation vehicles for efficient and dependable operations. The use of slashing technology, such as artificial intelligence in unmanned aerial vehicles, enhances vehicle performance. Intelligent unmanned autonomous systems are developed by humans and are able to carry out operations or administration without the need for advanced technologies.

The market is divided into teleoperated, autonomous, and tethered segments according on the operating segment. The autonomous category is anticipated to grow at a significant rate of 8.3% over the course of the projected year. This is explained by their ability to make decisions on their own, including shooting a target, without the need for human assistance.
