Airborne Radar Market

Airborne radar market size is forecast to reach USD 7,558 million by 2028, estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2021-2028.

Introduction of the Airborne Radar Market Report

Airborne radar is an air-interception radar installed on the combat aircraft to identify the location of other aircraft either for avoidance or attack. Radar helps an aircraft to assist in navigation by pilotage to determine drift. The primary aim of the radar is to identify the speed, presence, direction, and distance for an aircraft.

Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

The factors driving the global airborne radar market include increasing awareness among improvements in military operations and advancement of an existing airborne radar system. In addition, modernization in technologically enhanced radar systems such as Active Electronically enhanced Array (AESA), driven by changing warfare tactics, has triggered the growth of airborne radar market size.

Airborne radar systems provide pilots the capability to engage and identify remote targets, detect and track missile and enemy movements, survey border areas, and integrate information with related forces. Increasing demand for long-range radar capable of working in rough weather conditions is one of the key driving factors for the growth of phased array airborne radar. Several manufacturers offer an array of airborne radar products to the military and for commercial purposes. For instance, Raytheon Technologies Corporation invented APG-82(V)1 AESA, that can detect, track and identify multiple air and surface targets at longer ranges. The longer-range facilitates persistent target observation and information sharing for informed decision-making. Thus, this makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Restraint in the Airborne Radar Market

However, there are increasing concerns about cost in military aircraft and modern-day commercial aircraft such as passenger aircraft, bombers, fighter jets, and uncrewed vehicles. This requires a high development cost and airborne radar system combined with various hardware systems and technologies such as synthetic aperture radar and software-defined radio. These are required for the working of multi-domain platforms. Hence, the installation, development, and maintenance of these systems becomes expensive. Thus, cost and time required for the development is a significant factor for hampering the growth of this market.
