    Based on Type, the Dismounted Soldier System Market has been segmented into Thermal Weapon Sight, Monocular and Binocular Night Vision Devices, Fusion Devices (Night + Fusion), Electro-Optical (EO) Sensors Systems (Rangefinders, Cameras, GPS, Others), Others. The Electro-Optical (EO) Sensors Systems segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Electro-Optical (EO) Sensors Systems and Monocular and Binocular Night Vision Devices segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. 

    Electro-Optical (EO) sensor systems are gaining popularity in dismounted soldier systems because they can provide real-time surveillance, threat detection, and target tracking in dynamic battlefield environments. These sensors translate light or heat into electrical signals, providing improved battlefield sight in multiple spectrums. EO systems are the backbone of navigation aids, helmet-mounted displays, weapon sights, and handheld devices, providing troops with a full picture of their surroundings. 

    The need is growing as militaries want multi-function, smaller-sized systems providing integrated imaging, laser range-finding, and target designation. EO sensors also enable data-sharing within tactical networks to enhance situational awareness and unit coordination. Resolution improvement, image processing, and ruggedization make EO systems robust in adverse environments. Their contribution to ISR capability enhancement is particularly vital for special operations, border patrol, and peacekeeping operations.
