Market Dynamics
Introduction
Electronic warfare is the action where the electromagnetic spectrum is used for activities such as attacking an enemy or impeding enemy assaults. The advantage of such a technique is not to let the enemy take advantage.
Electronic warfare has the capabilities of electronic support, electronic attack, and electronic protection. Airborne, ground, naval, and space are the different platforms where electronic warfare is used.
Market Drivers
The electronic warfare market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by a number of factors. These include –
- Rising need for surveillance, intelligence, and self-protection capabilities – Rising digital and cybersecurity threats and attacks demands quick adoption of advanced surveillance and self-protection capabilities. Defense agencies across the globe have started the implementation of electronics to achieve augmented awareness to maintain superiority in defense across land, sea, and air. For instance, an Israeli company - BIRD Aerosystems, a global provider of innovative defense technology and solutions introduced SPREOS - Self Protection Radar Electro-Optic System in February 2023.
- Increasing domestic and intercontinental tensions – Increasing political, economic, and social upheaval among a few countries across the globe has resulted in a rise in domestic and intercontinental tensions. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have transformed the dynamics on the battlefield. For instance, the rise in threat from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles [UAVs] by Iran has imposed the establishment of an inter-agency working group for the U.S. and Israel to fight dangers by using advanced electronic warfare techniques.
- Rising military & defense expenditure – Global military expenditure reaches a new record high as European spending surges. According to Stockholm, April 2023, total global military expenditure increased by 3.7% in 2022, to reach a new high of $2240 billion. As militaries increase their expenditure and invest in new weapons &platforms, they also need to invest in EW systems to protect those resources from electronic warfare attacks.
- Increasing threats of drones and remotely triggered improvised explosive devices (IEDs) – One of the biggest threats is improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and drones have been increasingly used by terror groups to deliver IEDs over the years. The changing nature of security, threat perception, and the nature of conflict resulted in the usage of warfare equipment.
