Smart weapons are guided munitions designed to hit a definite target accurately. These weapons minimize the collateral damage in terms of destruction of civilian property and non-combatant casualties and also overcome the challenges in hitting moving targets over long distances. They are also known as precision guided munitions. Rapidly growing and modernizing economies are increasingly incorporating smart weapons in their military organizations and forces. These weapons use different types of guidance systems to locate targets. Some of the commonly used types include laser guidance systems, satellite systems and TV camera guidance systems. Technological advancements in weapon manufacturing have resulted in new innovations and availability of different types of smart weapons. These types include air to ground missiles, surface to air missiles, guided bombs, precision artillery; direct energy weapons and sensor fused weapons among others. The smart weapons market is currently dominated by guided missiles, which include surface-to-air and air-to-surface missiles.

Specialty and high performance films are thin films made from various polymers, such as polyester, fluoropolymer and polycarbonate. These films are different from conventional films as they exhibit excellent barrier properties, high tensile strength, chemical stability and resistance to heat and impact. Growing packaging industry for food and non-food products is expected to be one of the key factors driving the growth of specialty and high performance films market. In addition, the growing demand for photovoltaic (PV) systems which converts sunlight into usable energy is another key factor affecting the demand for these films. However, volatility in prices of crude oil which consequently affects the prices of its downstream chemicals is expected to hamper the specialty and high performance films market adversely. Development and commercialization of biodegradable and water soluble films is expected to open future markets for specialty and high performance films over the near future.

Light emitting diodes (LED) displays are flat panel displays used for outdoor applications. Outdoor displays include billboards, store signs, advertising boards, stadium scoreboards, rental screens, video walls and traffic lights. Outdoor LED displays are being increasingly used in public transport vehicles, destination signs and as a part of transparent glass areas. Discrete LED and surface-mounted device LED are two types of mounting technologies used in producing outdoor displays. These displays are produced in a range of colors and with proper mixing schemes, which generate a number of colors. LED displays are available in three forms, namely, monochrome display, tri-color display, and full color display.
