Targeting Pods: How They Work and Why They Matter __________________________________________________________ A targeting pod can track and attack ground targets that are either moving or still. This device is essential for fighter aircraft in battle situations because of its abilities. However, it is costly to install targeting pods on fighter aircraft. The price of a targeting module varies by model, but it is around $2 million on average. In addition, the costs of keeping and fixing targeting modules are very high. Other flying vehicles like drones and helicopters are also using targeting pods, which expands the market potential. Multi-spectral Sensors that is targeting pods incorporating infrared, radar, and laser technologies are offering enhanced target identification and tracking capabilities in diverse environments. According to my analysis the targeting pods market is valued at US$3.43 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to US$8.38 billion by 2030. Some of the new technologies that are shaping the future of targeting pods are: ❏ Short-wave infrared ❏ High-definition color sensors ❏ Ground moving target indication #technology #unmannedaerialvehicle #drone #aircraft #infrared #military #defense #airforce #navy #army #laser #radar #jamming (Image Source: Northrop Grumman)
