Synthetic Aperture Radar Market Share: By Platform Type 

Based on the platform type, the market is segmented as airborne and ground. The airborne segment is estimated to witness a higher growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers of airborne synthetic aperture radars are taking enormous efforts to develop specialized airborne synthetic aperture radars for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), as the use of airborne synthetic aperture radars in UAVs empowers easy data collection of fast-changing terrains, such as snow slopes and active volcanoes.

Synthetic Aperture Radar Market Share: By Mode Type

Based on the mode type, the market is segmented as single mode and multimode. The multimode segment led the market in 2018, and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. Synthetic aperture radars employing multimode are in high demand, owing to their ability to capture images based on various application requirements.

Synthetic Aperture Radar Market Share: By Frequency Band Type

Based on the frequency band type, the market is segmented as X band, C band, S band, L band, VHF/UHF band, K/Ku/Ka band, and others. A frequency band is an interval at which a specific radar transmits a signal. These frequency bands are differentiated based on their wavelength, which ranges from 0 GHz to 40 GHz. Radio frequency waves are transmitted through antennas into the space that are, further, reflected from the target.  

Synthetic Aperture Radar Market Share: By Region

In terms of regions, the North American region dominated the market in 2018, as various leading manufacturers of synthetic aperture radars, such as Lockheed Martin Corporation (US), Raytheon Company (US), Northrop Grumman Corporation (US), etc., have their headquarters in North America. The North American region is estimated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Europe and Asia-Pacific are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.  

Some of the major players in the synthetic aperture radar market are ASELSAN A.?, BAE Systems plc, Cobham PLC, Harris Corporation, Leonardo S.P.A., Northrop Grumman Corporation, The Raytheon Company, Thales Group, Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., and Saab AB.       

Market Scope & Segmentation

Synthetic Aperture Radar system is a radar system that collects surface images of high-resolution, using the vehicle’s motion. In the process, the microwave pulses are sent to the surface of the Earth by an antenna, which is then measured to get the image. They can be of a single-mode or also of multiple modes and make use of a number of frequency bands.

Synthetic Aperture Radar can make use of a number of components such as antenna, receiver, and transmitter. It is used from the ground as well as through airborne means and is highly useful for defense and commercial purposes.
