The military radar market is valued at USD 14.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 18.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2029. Weather-related disruptions are a significant challenge for the aviation industry. Advanced weather monitoring radars enable better real-time weather data collection, helping pilots make informed decisions, avoid turbulence, and navigate safely, ultimately improving flight efficiency and passenger safety. Governments and disaster management agencies rely on airborne radars data to monitor and predict weather-related disasters such as floods and storms.
Advanced weather monitoring radars play a critical role in issuing early warnings and facilitating evacuation procedures. Agriculture increasingly relies on accurate weather data to optimize crop management. Advanced airborne radars provide valuable insights into rainfall patterns, soil moisture, and weather forecasts, helping farmers make data-driven decisions. This increasing demand of advanced weather monitoring radars will drive the market of military radars.
In June 2020, Honeywell developed a new weather radar, the IntuVue RDR-7000 Weather Radar System, which can be used for military and defense applications. The IntuVue RDR-7000 can also be used on urban mobility platforms such as air taxis and airborne emergency vehicles.
In July 2020, the US Air Force joined the Tactical Combat Training System Increment II (TCTS Inc. II) program, which was initially designed and developed by Collins Aerospace for the US Navy. TCTS Inc. II is an open architecture system that enables combat situation training for the armed forces.
The increasing geopolitical tensions and the need for enhanced border security have led to substantial investments in these radar systems. Governments and defense organizations prioritize the deployment of advanced surveillance and early warning radars to bolster their defense infrastructure. These radars' ability to provide comprehensive situational awareness and facilitate rapid response to threats makes them indispensable in modern military operations.

Based on end users, the navy segment is estimated to have the largest market share in 2024.
The dominance of navy segment is driven by the critical need for advanced radar systems in naval operations, where situational awareness and threat detection are paramount. Naval forces require sophisticated radar technologies for various applications, including surveillance, target tracking, missile guidance, and navigation. The increasing focus on modernizing naval fleets, coupled with investments in next-generation radar systems, bolsters this segment's market share. Furthermore, strategic initiatives such as enhancing maritime security and expanding naval capabilities contribute to the sustained demand for advanced radar solutions in the navy segment, ensuring its leading position in the military radar market.Based on product type, the surveillance and early airborne warning radar segment is estimated to have the largest market share in 2024.
The surveillance and early airborne warning radar segment in the military radar market is seeing the fastest growth due to several pivotal factors. Surveillance and early warning radars are essential for detecting and tracking potential threats, providing real-time data to support decision-making and response actions. Their applications range from monitoring airspace and maritime boundaries to early detection of missile launches and aircraft movements.The increasing geopolitical tensions and the need for enhanced border security have led to substantial investments in these radar systems. Governments and defense organizations prioritize the deployment of advanced surveillance and early warning radars to bolster their defense infrastructure. These radars' ability to provide comprehensive situational awareness and facilitate rapid response to threats makes them indispensable in modern military operations.
Based on range, the long range (200 kms to 500 kms) segment is estimated to have the largest market share in 2024.
Long-range radars are integral to monitoring large geographical areas, detecting and tracking aircraft, missiles, and other potential threats over vast distances. Their ability to provide early warning and situational awareness is vital for enabling timely and effective defensive measures. Investments in long-range radar systems are driven by several strategic factors. Military forces require these advanced systems to secure borders, protect airspace, and enhance maritime surveillance. Furthermore, long-range radars are essential components of integrated air and missile defense systems, which rely on accurate and comprehensive data to intercept and neutralize threats. Given the strategic importance of long-range radar systems in modern defense operations and the continuous investment in upgrading these capabilities, the long-range (200 km to 500 km) segment is set to dominate the military radar market in 2024.Based on regions, the North America region is estimated to have the largest market share in 2024.
