Europe Aerospace and Defense Radar Market

Europe Aerospace and Defence Radar Market Size (2024 to 2032)

Europe Aerospace and Defence Radar Market is growing at a brisk pace during the foreseen period. from 2024 - 2032 The increasing focus on safety and security needs in an automotive application, unlocking the wideband 5G and millimeter wave-based RF system capabilities, and growing demand for border security systems are the major factors that are expected to be driving the market to grow.

Radar is a detection system that utilizes radio waves to determine the range or velocity of an object. It is mainly used to detect aircraft, spacecraft, marine vessels, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain for defense purposes, and so on. A radar system consists of a transmitting antenna, transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a receiving antenna, and a receiver and processor to determine the properties of the objects mentioned. Radio waves from the transmitter get reflected from the object and return to the receiver for giving information about the object's location and velocity.

Radar was developed secretly for military purposes by several nations in the period before and during World War 2. A significant development was the cavity magnetron in the UK, which enabled the creation of relatively small systems with sub-meter resolution.

Also, airports with a higher number of travelers and cargo should need surveillance radar systems to ensure safety and security. Therefore, airport operators are signifying on enhancing runway safety systems and implementing radar systems to enable ATC controllers to possess better control over passenger and cargo movement. Current geopolitical scenarios in European countries are offering a favorable environment for investments by manufacturers to expand their portfolios. This is supposed to create new market opportunities in the near future for the Europe Radar market.

Furthermore, the launch of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in cars and electric vehicles is further fuelling the market growth. However, technical incompatibilities between the average power of a transmitter and the size of an antenna tend to result in poor performance, higher receiver noise, and reduced sensitivity of radar are the technical issues that are reducing the production of radars.
