Abstract
In the coming years, many facilities will be delivering high quality γ-ray data essential for the advancement of pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) studies. I will be reviewing the technical capabilities of various instruments: from satellites devoted to the MeV–GeV regime, to ground based observatories intended for energies > 10 GeV. I will especially cover the prospects for CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array), the next generation array of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, sensitive in the range from few tens of GeV to hundreds of TeV. Thanks to its substantial improvement in flux sensitivity, angular and energy resolution and instantaneous field of view with respect to the current Cherenkov arrays, CTA is expected to increase the number of detected PWN to the hundreds and allow a detailed morphological and spectral study of the most prominent ones. I also will cover some of the satellites planned to be launched in the next decade.
