There is no denying to the fact that technology is evolving at a fast pace. From paving the way for industrial efficiency to making our day to day life easier, technological advances are quite evident. Besides, modern day warfare too has undergone a paradigm shift towards being highly network-centric, and this has necessitated the integration of precision technology like C4ISR systems for expanded surveillance, reconnaissance, and secure communication network for ensuring mission fulfillment.
Radars form a vital component of the overall C4ISR architecture. They are hugely employed to detect distant objects and track targets through the transmission of radio waves in the direction of the target. The ongoing conflicts and unrest in several regions across the globe has raised the demand for improved radar systems.
Insights on the future defense scenario: New trends in the radar system & technology market
Advent of advanced airborne radar
Because of the complex littoral environment and maintenance of a large record of tracks, the traditional littoral surveillance radar system (LSRS) failed to match with the complicated requirements of defense authorities. This made the well-known company Raytheon to sign a four-year contract with US Navy to develop a new version of Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft that will be equipped with a long-range and high-resolution surveillance radar.
AAS (Advanced airborne sensors) will likely be more capable and accurate than the LSRS and come equipped with features such as NetTrack, which is designed by DARPA for tracking high-value targets.
Development of anti-stealth radars
With an extensive focus being laid on the development of stealth military platforms, countries across the globe have a high demand for advanced radars that can easily detect them. As a result, there have been some initiatives and investments in the market for the development of anti-stealth radar systems. It is anticipated that major defense spending countries, such as the US, China, India, Russia, and the UK, will use these advanced radar systems to get an edge over their enemies.
Introduction of advanced AESA technology
Defense authorities across the globe are investing extensively in the development of AESA radars, which would replace the traditionally used mechanically-scanned radar systems. AESA technology possesses efficient detection, targeting, tracking, and self-protection capabilities. It can send signal emissions across a wide range of frequencies. These advantageous features in the technology have garnered a high demand for integration in military radar systems.
