Potential Security Contracts Are 'Enormous', Analyst Says
The market for global military aerostat aircraft will climb to more than $4 billion this year, according to a new report from ASDReports, which indicates that the potential security contracts at stake are enormous and offer great opportunities for companies active in this field.

The new market forecast report "Military Aerostats Market Report 2016-2026" states that due to unstable defense budgets and rising security threats nations look for more effective intelligence gathering options. Military aerostats have a long and storied past, however, they present a thoroughly modern option for governments wanting to secure a low-cost, high-tech option for intelligence gathering.

The potential security contracts at stake are enormous and offers great opportunities for companies active in this field.
