Airborne Radars Market Growth & Trends:
The global airborne radars market size is anticipated to reach USD 19.43 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) systems drives market expansion in the airborne radar segment. AEW&C platforms equipped with airborne radar systems provide long-range detection, tracking, and command and control capabilities for managing aerial and maritime threats, coordinating military operations, and safeguarding airspace integrity. With the increasing complexity of modern warfare scenarios and the need for real-time situational awareness, defense agencies invest in AEW&C platforms equipped with advanced airborne radar systems, driving the market growth for such systems.
Expanding airborne surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities in urban environments drives market growth for airborne radar systems. Urban warfare scenarios and counter-terrorism operations require airborne radar systems that operate effectively in complex urban terrain, detect threats concealed within buildings, and provide real-time intelligence to ground forces. As defense agencies and security forces adapt to the challenges of urban warfare and asymmetric threats, the demand for airborne radar systems optimized for urban operations grows, fueling market expansion in the airborne radar segment.
The growing emphasis on disaster management and emergency response contributes to market growth for airborne radar systems. Airborne radar systems are utilized in disaster relief operations, search and rescue missions, and humanitarian assistance to assess damage, identify survivors, and locate critical infrastructure in disaster-affected areas. In addition, airborne radar systems provide valuable support for firefighting operations, flood monitoring, and natural disaster prediction, aiding emergency responders and authorities in coordinating response efforts and mitigating the impact of disasters. As governments and organizations prioritize disaster preparedness and response, the demand for airborne radar systems for disaster management applications is expected to increase.
