DISRUPTION VULNERABILITY

Belonging to the aerospace and defense sector means this company will be affected directly and indirectly by a number of disruptive opportunities and challenges over the coming decades While described in detail within Quantumrun’s special reports, these disruptive trends can be summarized along the following broad points:

*First off, advances in nanotech and material sciences will result in a range of new construction materials that are stronger, lighter, heat and impact resistant, shapeshifting, among other exotic properties. These new materials will allow for the creation of a range of new rockets, air, land, and sea vehicles that possess capabilities far superior to today's commercial and combat transportation systems.
*The plummeting price and increasing energy capacity of solid-state batteries will result in a greater adoption of electric-powered commercial aircraft and combat vehicles. This shift will lead to significant fuel cost savings for short haul, commercial airlines and less vulnerable supply lines within active combat zones.
*The shrinking cost and increasing functionality of advanced manufacturing robotics will lead to further automation of factory assembly lines, thereby improving manufacturing quality and costs.
*The shrinking cost and increasing computational capacity of artificial intelligence systems will lead to its greater use across a number of applications, especially drone air, land, and sea vehicles for military applications.
*The development of reusable rockets, the involvement of the private sector, and the increased investment/competition from emerging nations is finally making the commercialization of space more economical. This will spur increased investment and involvement by aerospace and defense companies for commercial and military purposes.
*As Asia and Africa rise in population and wealth, there will be a greater demand for aerospace and defense offerings, especially from established Western suppliers.
*2020 to 2040 will see the continued growth of China, the rise of Africa, an unstable Russia, a more assertive Eastern Europe, and a fragmenting Middle East—international trends that will guarantee demand for aerospace and defense sector offerings.
