Executive Summary
The global military radar market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 6.5% from 2022 to 2031, owing to growing geo-political tensions.Military radar is a recognition device which uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of the object. It can be used to detect guided missiles, terrain, motor vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, ships, and weather formations. The military radar system consists of a transmitter and receiver which creates electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, and a receiver and processor to authenticate the properties of the object. The radio waves from the transmitter sends signal and show off the object to the receiver, offering information about the object’s speed and location.
The transformation programs in defense industry include making new antennas to develop the aircraft connectivity. For instance, in 2021, ThinKom Solutions company has made a new antenna that deals with variable installation options for special-purpose aircraft. The company has established a new variant of its Variable Inclination Continuous Transverse Stub (VICTS) antenna for government and military beyond-line-of-sight (BLoS) applications. The modernizing and overhauling of airspace to augment safety and minimize the flight delays is a prime focus area of the major countries. Improved pilot communication, enhanced efficiency, and better routing decisions are some advantages of modernizing the airspace. It entails the system of new technologies and components to execute multidimensional aircraft tracking in defense, correspond effectively with air traffic managers, and enhance navigation by making images of forward external scene topography. These modernization programs in defense, when executed successfully, minimizes the carbon emissions, helps to save fuel, and enhance the quality of air. This drives the market for transmitter in military radar.
The supportive initiatives by government for the defense industry and rising investments by leading players to unveil new products is likely to increase the sales. However, the accessibility to counterfeit products and lesser lifecycle may challenge the sales of the receiver. Also, rising adoption from consumer of new communication products in defense incorporated with the latest technologies owing to boost the sales of receiver in military radar market. Also, several programs like increasing manufacturing capacity and growth of military radars are expected to result in a rise in the demand for radio receiver products. The military communication industry is growing rapidly due to enhanced lifestyle spending in developing countries. The growth of the duplexer in military radar can be recognized to the rising demand for military applications and wireless communication. In the current situation, there is a rise in demand for duplexers in military electronic devices such as airborne communication, underwater communication, and ground-based communication as they offer bi-directional communication. Thus, it is driving the adoption of duplexer in military radar.
The duplexers are widely used in various fields such as defense & military, aerospace, and in other consumer electronics. These areas are likely to boost the demand for duplexers in the market. Due to its smaller size, it can easily fit into military communication and other electronic devices which leads to an increase in demand for duplexers for various integrated solutions. The adoption of 4G and 5G network in military is a major factor that is projected to drive the global market over the forecast period. The automation in defense has seen several evolutionary stages, with significant progress in ideas, technology, and design. A new trend of military communication between the armed forces more in general, Internet of things (IoT) has also been witnessed.
The 5G mobile network has the capability to link almost everything and everyone, including machines, gadgets, and objects. The utilization of power amplifier, modulator, and signal processor for security and defense objectives could expand military radar market. The modern radar systems are blending ultrafast digital to analog, analog to digital converters, solid-state modules, digital signal processors, advanced materials, and to improve performance in efficient, compact, and small packages. The sales are majorly propelled by electronic defense systems, high-end military applications, and off-site short-range radar machinery. The governments across the world are investing heavily in short-range systems for better connectivity and capturing things clearer in future space missions and communication. In response to this, leading companies are creating innovative short-range radars which enable 360-degree surround-view for military and naval applications. This is likely to amplify the scope for military radar applications in the upcoming years.
Due to the varying battlefield scenarios and the growing number of airborne threats with greater speeds, agility, and lethality, the countries are bound to induct and develop medium range of radars into their defense unit to increase their detection competences and to hold higher response time to seize the incoming threats. Additionally, the growth in sea and maritime incursions, development of hypersonic weapons, airspace violations, and the usage of autonomous assets with secrecy technologies, is leading to augment defense expenses on medium range radar technology. Such factor is expected to increase the sales for medium range of military radar over the forecast period.
The long-range military radars are driven by high-end defense applications, electronic defense systems, and off-site long-range radar machinery. In the recent past, major long range military radar manufacturers in regions such as Europe and North America have also gained thrust in the region by the production of long-range radars for their commercial market and defense forces. The investment has been increased to enhance the functional capabilities of long-range radar sensors. The countries such as China, India, Japan, and Brazil are constantly using advanced long range radar system which is equipped with Lidar. Such parameters and huge investments are expected to increase the sales of long-range military radar in the market.
