Global Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) Surveillance System Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) Surveillance System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,080 million in 2025 to US$ 6,067 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.5% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global shipments of Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication Surveillance Systems reached approximately 1,840 sets, with an average system price of about K US$ 600 per set. A Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication Surveillance System is a system-level surveillance product designed for drones, eVTOL aircraft, general aviation aircraft and low-slow-small aerial targets. It typically consists of integrated sensing and communication equipment, low-altitude surveillance radar, radio identification devices, electro-optical and infrared sensors, multi-source fusion platforms, edge computing units and alerting and command software. By combining communication-sensing integration, radar detection, spectrum identification, Remote ID, ADS-B, electro-optical confirmation and multi-source data fusion, the system enables low-altitude target detection, identification, positioning, velocity measurement, trajectory tracking, abnormal flight alerting and airspace situational awareness. It is mainly used in urban public low-altitude governance, aviation operation protection, civil critical site protection, defense and border security, industrial low-altitude operation support, and emergency and temporary public safety scenarios.

Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication Surveillance Systems are evolving from conventional counter-drone security equipment into a critical sensing layer of low-altitude economy infrastructure. As drone logistics, urban inspection, emergency response, eVTOL pilot operations and low-altitude route management continue to develop, the key challenge for regulators and operators is no longer simply whether aircraft can fly, but whether low-altitude targets can be detected, identified, continuously tracked and safely managed. Therefore, the value of this system lies not only in detecting unauthorized drones, but also in providing real-time situational awareness for urban low-altitude governance, airport operation protection, critical site security and industrial low-altitude operations.

From a market perspective, the global market size of Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication Surveillance Systems is estimated at approximately US$1,103.8 million in 2025 and is expected to reach US$1,444.3 million in 2026, with a projected CAGR of around 26.5% from 2026 to 2032. Growth is mainly driven by three layers of demand. The first is non-cooperative target detection, including low-slow-small drones, unauthorized flights and sensitive-area intrusion monitoring. The second is cooperative target surveillance, including Remote ID, ADS-B, BVLOS operation support and low-altitude route monitoring. The third is the accelerated deployment of 5G-A integrated sensing and communication, low-altitude radar and multi-source fusion platforms in city-level low-altitude infrastructure projects. Overall, the market is still transitioning from pilot projects to scaled deployment, with near-term demand mainly coming from governments, airports, defense and law enforcement agencies, energy companies and critical infrastructure operators.

The competitive landscape will not be dominated by a single type of player. Instead, it will involve communication equipment vendors, radar manufacturers, radio-frequency sensing providers, electro-optical and infrared system suppliers, multi-source fusion platform companies and low-altitude security control system providers. Huawei, ZTE and Ericsson represent the network sensing route; Echodyne, Robin Radar, Terma, Weibel, Naruida, Glarun Technology and Sun Create represent the low-altitude radar route; Aaronia, Rohde & Schwarz, D-Fend Solutions, Shanghai Terjin and Lizheng Technology represent the radio sensing and identification route; while IAI, Thales, Teledyne FLIR, Hikvision, GEOVIS and LES Information are more representative of multi-source fusion and system-level solutions. In the long run, companies with stronger competitiveness will not be those offering only a single sensor, but those capable of integrating radar, RF sensing, electro-optical systems, Remote ID, ADS-B and low-altitude airspace data into a practical and actionable situational awareness system.

It should also be noted that the market still faces several uncertainties, including inconsistent statistical boundaries, a high share of project-based revenue, immature standards, and different regulatory timelines across countries. Some companies claim exposure to the low-altitude economy, but their actual business may only involve general security cameras, ordinary communication networks, standalone jamming devices or system integration services. These should not be directly counted as core suppliers of Low-altitude Integrated Sensing and Communication Surveillance Systems. For market sizing and company screening, a medium-narrow scope is more appropriate, focusing on system-level products with low-altitude target detection, identification, positioning, tracking, alerting and situational awareness capabilities. Overall, this is a policy-driven and infrastructure-oriented market with strong purchasing interest, but it remains in an early expansion stage. The next three to five years will be a key window for the market to move from demonstration projects toward regional-scale deployment.
