Electronically Scanned Array Market Research Report by Type (Active, Passive), by Range (Short, Medium, Long) , by End-use (Airborne, Naval, Land), and Region - Global Forecast to 2032

Global Electronically Scanned Array Market Overview:

Electronically scanned array systems comprise of a compilation of antennas that can project the resultant radio beam in different directions without moving the antennas themselves. The signal produced by electronically scanned arrays can be produced in various shapes, effectively resulting in “maneuverability” for the beam. Radars using electronically scanned array systems present several advantages, including increased resistance to electronic jamming and improved reliability.

The benefits of electronically scanned arrays are coming to the fore with increasing research, which is leading to its increased adoption in military forces around the world. The active efforts taken by several governments around the world to create a smart and technologically advanced army rather than a numerous but technologically hampered one have led to increased adoption of electronically scanned array systems in aircraft around the world. Leading military spenders such as the U.S. are taking a pioneering role in eliminating the traditional baggage of a manual, human-powered army and creating a technologically powered, automated army. This has led to increased spending on technologies such as electronically assisted array systems and is likely to remain a major driver for the market over the forecast period.

On the other hand, the long time taken to replace radar systems en masse is likely to be a major restraint on the global market over the forecast period.
