Anti-Jamming Market Size, Growth, Share, COVID-19 & Russia-Ukraine War Impact Impact Analysis, By Platform (Airborne, Land, Naval, and Space), By Receiver Type (Military and Government Grade and Commercial Transportation-Grade), By Technique (Nulling System, Beam Steering System, and Excision System), By Application (Flight Control, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, Position, Navigation and Timing, Targeting, Casualty Evacuation, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2022-2029

The global anti-jamming market size was valued at USD 3.39 billion in 2021. The market is projected to grow from USD 3.66 billion in 2022 to USD 8.28 billion by 2029, exhibiting a 12.36% CAGR during the forecast period. The COVID-19 impact has been unprecedented and staggering, with anti-jamming experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global anti-jamming market exhibited a decline of 12.65% in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Anti-jamming devices protect receivers from any interference and jamming signals. Anti-jammers are installed over several platforms such as aircraft, jets, autonomous weapons, tanks, UAVs, and governmental buildings of national importance. Rising applications of satellite-assisted navigation systems have catalyzed the utilization of GPS jammers across the globe. GPS signals received from satellites from receivers on earth become weak and can be interrupted by other strong Radio Frequency (RF) waves. Therefore, anti-jammers nullify the effect of such unwanted signals and protect receivers from jammers. Anti-jammers operate on nulling, beam forming or excision systems which provide different kinds of operational characteristics.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Related Restrictions Delayed the Deliveries of Anti-Jammers and Hampered the Market

COVID-19 significantly affected the global anti-jamming market growth across the globe. Countries changed their procurement plans and priorities on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. OEMs also faced major hurdles in delivering the anti-jammers or allied equipment as per the schedule due to COVID-19-related restrictions. For example, after several months of delay, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) delivered Heron drones to the Indian army in November 2021. Besides UAVs, there are several other platforms which faced issues in supply chain and got delayed due to COVID-19 which hampered the market during FY 2020-21. The U.S. had also faced a delay of nearly six months in launching GPS III satellite, which has anti-jam capability.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT

Russia-Ukraine War Proliferated the Demand for Anti-Jammers in Commercial and Defense Sector

The Russian-Ukraine war has changed procurement priorities and defense spending over several platforms. Besides defense platforms, the Russia-Ukraine war has also catalyzed the market of anti-jammers in the commercial segment. In April 2022, the Civil Aviation Authority of France reported satellite navigation jamming attempts by the Russian army near the Black Sea area. This affected the navigation system of many commercial airlines on the route. Therefore, these kinds of events encourage governmental authorities to upgrade or install anti-jammers on-board commercial aircraft.

Miniaturization and Increased Beam Forming Capabilities to Propel the Market Growth  

Beamforming is a technique to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of signals by eliminating undesirable interference. Beamforming is the core of wireless communications such as 5G, WLAN and LTE. Optimized beamforming is becoming more popular in modern-day wireless communication systems. It includes hybrid beamforming techniques where baseband and Radio Frequency (RF) systems are optimized to reduce the cost. In June 2022, BAE Systems announced the launch of an advanced Digital GPS Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR) which can combine data from an inertial navigation system and provide fast and secure data transmission.

Rising applications of UAVs have also paved the way for miniaturized anti-jammers. In October 2022, InfiniDome launched GPSdome 2 anti-jammer with weight of 500 gm and dimension of 87 x 91 x 61.55 mm. GPSdome 2 can protect the receiver from 3 directions with dual band frequency capability. Hence, advancements in beamforming and miniaturization will catalyze the market growth over several platforms such as UAVs, satellites, aircraft, and so on.

DRIVING FACTORS

Proliferation of GPS Jamming Activities to Boost the Demand for the Product in Commercial Aviation

Rising application of GPS jammers during joint military exercise or in a war zone have hampered the operations of commercial aircraft on the routes. In April 2022, the Civil Aviation Authority of France reported satellite navigation jamming attempts by the Russian army near the Black Sea area. This had affected the navigation system of many commercial airlines near the Black Sea area. Satellite navigation jamming efforts were made by the Russian army in 2022 near Black Sea area affecting the navigation system of various commercial airlines near the area. It was reported by the Civil Aviation Authority of France. Similar attempts had been made by the Russian army in Syria during the 2019 attacks which affected the navigation system of Israel’s commercial airlines. In August 2018, a passenger aircraft crashed into a mountain due to GPS interference from an Idaho military facility of the U.S. Therefore, commercial aircraft need to install anti-jammers as a precautionary measure against known or unknown jamming activities.

Increasing Demand for UAVs in the Defense Sector will Propel the Market Growth

Technological advancements in UAVs have led to the development of light weight and robust drones with extended range and battery backup. UAVs are extensively being used by nations across the globe for activities such as surveillance, navigation, targeting, payload transfer, and so on. Recently, in October 2022, it was reported that Russia has utilized over 400 Iranian drones called ‘Shahed 136’ which carried more than 2000 weapons. Shahed 136 can carry 50 kg of warhead at maximum speed of 185 kmph with anti-jam capability. Therefore, rising use of UAVs in war have catalyzed the growth of airborne anti-jammers across the globe. 

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Advancements in Quantum Communication to Hamper the Demand for Anti-Jamming Devices

Quantum communication works on the principle of quantum physics and provides the most secure data transition via photons of light. In August 2016, China launched a satellite called Micius dedicated to provide quantum communication. Micius established a direct link between two ground stations which were 1,200 km away from each other. Micius established this link by entanglement-based quantum cryptography. In November 2022, the European Commission announced to invest USD 2.46 billion to launch a multi-orbital satellite constellation having quantum communication technology for secured data transmission by 2027. Therefore, developments in quantum communication may pose a major threat to anti-jammers.
