Aircraft survivability equipment has an important role to play in any military aircraft as it is highly responsible for reducing the aircraft’s vulnerability and hence helps the crew members to survive after accomplishing the set mission. The method is based on five important steps, which are tactics, signature reduction, warning, jamming decoying, and aircraft hardening.
Aircraft survivability equipment, in order to attain these five steps works on the systems of electronic support and electronic attack. Some of the common options where the equipment is used are combat aircraft, combat helicopters, special mission aircraft, and UAVs.
Market Dynamics
The growth of the aircraft survivability equipment market is primarily driven by-
- Substitution of legacy systems with progressive combat systems.
- The rise in asymmetric warfare.
- The threat of sophisticated infrared (IR) and radiofrequency (RF) targeting systems.
