The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with air and missile defense radars experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of 36.51% in 2020 as compared to 2019.


Armed forces across the globe utilize the air and missile defense radars to track aircraft, jets, destroyers, UAVs, weapon-carrying vehicles, and many more. Radars usually operate on a broad range of frequency bands such as HF, P, UHF, L, S, C, Ku, K, Ka, and many more. The frequencies of these bands range from 3 MHz to over 110 GHz. The air and missile defense radars consist of X band and S band radars only. X band usually comes with a smaller antenna and can be utilized over smaller platforms such as boats, aircraft, and so on. S band radars are utilized for specific applications to track targets in harsh environmental conditions. The S band radars' antenna is larger than the X band radars antenna. SPY-6 is a well-known AMDR system developed by Raytheon Technologies, which comes in several variants having X band, S band, or both frequencies.


COVID-19 IMPACT


COVID-19 Hampered the Procurement and Delivery Schedule of AMDR


COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the global market. Many nations have revisited their procurement plans and changed their priorities on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. The OEMs have also faced major challenges in completing ongoing projects as per the schedule due to COVID-19 related restrictions. For example, the U.S. faced a delay of nearly one year in the delivery of the Long Frequency Discrimination Radar (LRDR). Lockheed Martin was the prime contractor under procurement. Under a deal of USD 466 million, Israel also faced a nearly one-year delay in the procurement of INS Magen from Germany. To mitigate these kinds of challenges in the future, governments have initiated several policy measures such as Production Linked Incentive (PLI) and Military-Civil Fusion.

Technological Advancements in Fully/Hybrid Digital Beam Forming will Propel the Market Growth


Recent technological advancements in AMDR are the implementation of fully/hybrid beam forming for tracking targets in azimuth and elevation. The analog to digital converters installed in radars enhanced the range of target detection and operating flexibility compared to conventional radars. Developments in Gallium Nitride (GaN) paved the way for affordable, lightweight, and compact systems for AMDR. The quest to track more targets simultaneously has led to the development of high-density arrays installed over radars. This enables the radar to operate in a broad range of frequencies with enhanced operational efficiency.


DRIVING FACTORS


Developments in Hypersonic Missiles will Pave the Way for Advanced Air and Missile Defense Radars


Recent advancements in hypersonic missiles by countries such as the U.S., China, and Russia have posed major challenges to the detection of such high-speed objects before the impact. Other countries, such as India, Japan, Germany, France, and Australia, have also invested in the development of hypersonic missiles. In March 2022, Russia claimed to utilize hypersonic missiles against Ukraine. The Russian hypersonic missile has the capability to reach a top speed of Mach 10 and range over 1900 kilometers. The Chinese variant of a hypersonic missile is said to have a top speed of Mach 12 and a range of 1,500 kilometers. In October 2022, China claimed to develop a smaller variant of the existing hypersonic missile that can be launched through aircraft. To counteract such threats, countries across the globe have tested several measures. For example, the U.S. had tried to use a combination of SPY-6 radar and SM-6 missiles. Therefore, advancements in hypersonic missiles will catalyze the growth of technologically advanced air and missile defense radars.


Increasing Cross-border Tensions and Rising Defense Budget for Air and Missile Defense Radars to Catalyze the Growth of Market


Over the last decade, increasing cross-border conflicts, such as a conflict between China-Taiwan, Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine, and many more, have changed governmental strategies of neighboring countries as well. For instance, in June 2022, the government of Canada planned to invest USD 4.9 billion to strengthen decade-old radar systems across Canada. Besides new procurements, countries have also started collaborating with each other to have a strategic advantage over rivalries. For example, in September 2022, the Indian government urged Bangladesh to speed-up the installation of coastline radars in Bangladesh. India had offered USD 500 million lines of credit to Bangladesh for the same in October 2019. Hence, rising conflicts have increased the demand for AMDR across the globe.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Component Failures, Design Limitations, and Increased Costs of Maintenance & Upgrade Restrain Market Growth


Radar systems need to have higher operational efficiency, compatibility with different platforms, user-oriented advanced systems, and a broad frequency band. Sometimes, radars have to operate in harsh environmental conditions, which may lead to the failure of onboard components. For example, the U.S. Department of Defense has requested nearly USD 200 million for the upgrade, repair, and maintenance of 12 radars under Ballistic Missile Defense Systems (BMDS) program for FY 2023.


Besides repair and maintenance, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) reformed the military standards for radar systems in 2020. So, to match NATO standards, all the members have to install/update new capabilities to allow full interoperability during joint operations with other NATO countries. Therefore, evolving military standards and maintenance costs of defense radars may hamper the Air and Missile Defense Radar Market growth.
