Along with being utilized for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and mine countermeasure (MCM) operations, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are frequently designed to be deployed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. Certain activities, like locating and eliminating possible undersea dangers, are intended to be completed by the robotic platforms. The peripheral subsystems, which include beacon positioning and tracking systems, provide location awareness, precise positional information, and target guiding, which are essential for the successful accomplishment of these missions.

Throughout the forecast period, the unmanned marine vehicles market is anticipated to grow at a faster rate due to factors like the rising capital expenditures of offshore oil and gas companies, the rise in global defence spending, and the growing need for ocean data and mapping. Acoustic sensors for high-altitude underwater navigation are popular due to the quick advancement of technology. The objective is to lower the expense and latency of the existing underwater navigation systems, which usually use high accuracy. The defence market is being driven by oceanic surveillance. Furthermore, in the upcoming years, the unmanned marine vehicles market will have even more lucrative growth prospects thanks to the extension and integration of cutting-edge technologies in these vehicles.

It is anticipated that the unmanned marine vehicles market will not grow as quickly as expected due to several factors, including the need for more advanced and dependable unmanned marine vehicles, their high operating costs, and the related maintenance problems. However, the poor underwater survey speed resulting from the use of acoustic communication technology and the current economic climate may provide further challenges to the near-term growth of the autonomous marine vehicle business. With enterprises developing more sophisticated systems and gaining more 

Unmanned marine vehicles are not an exception to how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the marine industry as a whole. The uncertainty regarding the pandemic's economic impact caused project delays and cancellations in a number of businesses, including the defence and maritime sectors. Many governments' pre-emptive actions to stop the virus's spread seriously disrupted supply chains in a variety of industries and made it difficult for a number of multinational corporations to operate their factories. Budgetary restrictions were imposed on governments and defense agencies as they reallocated funding to handle pressing economic and health issues. Positively, nevertheless, the epidemic brought to light the significance of autonomous and remote operations. The focus on minimizing human presence for safety purposes might have raised interest in autonomous marine vehicles for a range of uses.
