Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (DECM) refer to technologies and techniques used to protect military and civilian assets from electronic threats, such as electronic warfare (EW) and cyber-attacks. DECM systems work by detecting and countering threats using electronic signals. They can disrupt, deceive, or deny an adversary's electronic capabilities, protecting friendly forces and critical infrastructure. Electronic threats have increased because of the increased use of electronic equipment and communication networks in military and civilian operations, which has increased the need for efficient countermeasures.

The market for electronic countermeasures is being driven by several factors, including a growing need for better defense capabilities, increased defense spending, technical advancements, rising demand for integrated defense systems, growing cyber threats, and geopolitical tensions. Overall, the defensive electronic countermeasures market is expected to grow as governments and defense organizations seek to enhance their defense capabilities against a wide range of electronic threats.

Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:

• In 2020, Esterline Technologies Corporation was acquired by L3Harris Technologies, a manufacturer of advanced defense technologies, electronic warfare systems, sensors, and avionics.
• In 2019, L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation merged to form L3Harris Technologies, a company that provides advanced defense technologies and communications systems. The merger created one of the largest defense technology companies in the world, with a strong focus on electronic warfare and electronic countermeasure systems.

The pandemic caused delays in the development and delivery of defensive electronic countermeasures systems. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in reduced defense budgets in some countries, which had a negative impact on the demand for defensive electronic countermeasures systems. However, despite these challenges, the defensive electronic countermeasures market has remained relatively stable due to the continued need for these systems to protect critical electronic infrastructure, military assets, and communication networks. 

Segments Analysis

Platform Trends

"Air platform segment accounted for the largest market share."

The market is segmented into air, land, and naval. Air platform type is the dominant segment of the market during the forecast period. Electronic countermeasure systems are used in the military as well as some commercial aircraft. Electronic countermeasures are used to enhance the self-protection capabilities of aircraft. Several commercial airlines have also implemented anti-missile defense systems on their planes. Countermeasures also act as a force multiplier by increasing the overall effectiveness of military operations. By providing protection against electronic threats, aircraft equipped with electronic countermeasures can operate in airspace with great flexibility that would otherwise be too risky or restricted.
