Military Radar Systems - Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Modernisation of defence equipment: Globally, countries are upgrading their defence equipments and technologies to meet the rising threat. The upgrade includes iteration in weaponry, surveillance, and radar systems that help minimise threats. AESA radars are widely being adopted by the regions as it provides precision and detailed information on a radar object, enhancing the defence decision-making. Countries such as China and the U.S. have rapidly updated their miliary system because of ongoing tension between the two countries. The Asian countries have leveraged the opportunity and advanced their military equipment, including radar systems, which significantly help in detecting threats and engaging targets with precision. The consistent tension between the two countries and their innovative development of the radar systems has significantly enhanced the growth of the market.
- Increasing demand for multi-function radars: Multi-function radars are also high in demand because of their capabilities in scanning a 60 degree angle, while tracking all the meteorological threats and assessing non-cooperative flights, which helps in enhancing the safety and surveillance of the airspace, land and water. After the integration of AI, radar systems are now backed by data and real-time tracking, enabling better synthesis of information. AI allows military radar systems to determine the threat level of an object, enabling better assessment and elimination. SPY-7 is one of the most advanced radar technology development by Lockheed Martin, with the potential to detect, track and launch ballistic missiles to engage multiple targets simultaneously. The SPY-7 can be integrated with other radars and platforms seamlessly that can be used remotely and manually. These advanced radars and their demand from countries across the globe are amplifying the growth of the market.
- Demand for autonomous systems: Demand for drones and unmanned UAVs has increased, leading to adoption in military radar systems, which are used to maintain strong surveillance that enhances the precision and quality of threat detection. The unmanned vehicles heavily depend on the radar systems that determine the target object's speed and location, enhancing defence precision. Systems such as AESA are developed to detect threats in the air, sea and land, enhancing the adoption in military aircraft, ships and ground weapons. India, China and Russia are massively investing in unmanned vehicles and aerial surveillance that utilises military radar systems because of rising threats from terrorism and asset damage. The growing innovation towards unmanned drones and UAVs has significantly increased the scope of the military radar systems market and propelled its growth.
Challenges
- High development cost: The cost of producing advanced military radar systems is often high, leading to limited adoption in the market. The complexity associated with the AESA and phased array technologies demands significant investment for research. The cost associated with the manufacturing often hinders the steady growth of the market, as certain countries may not be able to afford these systems. Defence agencies often have to rely on alternative radar systems, which are not as effective as modern ones.
- Supply chain constraints: Complex electronic materials, chips and sensors are subject to availability, which restricts the defence agencies from adopting military radar systems. The complexity of procuring the raw materials leads to a barrier in the adoption of the military radar systems market, thereby declining the growth. The demand from countries such as the U.S. and Russia is always high, which often reflects in a supply shortage for other countries, which further lowers the adoption.
