The Military Antenna Market size is projected to reach US$ 5,298.16 million by 2030 from US$ 3,497.23 million in 2022. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.3% in 2022–2030. End users of military antennas can change depending on the explicit application and the organization responsible for defense and security. It can be utilized by military forces such as air forces, national armies, naval forces, and border security agencies. It can also be leveraged in military air traffic control systems. End users of military antennas can vary based on geopolitical context and the specific requirements of each country or organization such as ground bases, naval and airborne platforms.
Manufacturers develop different types of antennas with low, medium, and high frequencies to meet the requirements of end users. Quality control processes are employed throughout manufacturing to ensure the final product meets the standards as per the end user’s requirements. This involves inspecting the raw materials, verifying the dimensions' accuracy, and understanding the application of antennas in different platforms such as naval, ground, or airborne. A few major manufacturers of military antenna operating in the market include BAE Systems, Thales SA, Comrod Communication AS, Eylex Pty Ltd, L3Harris Technologies Inc, Hascall-Denke Corp, Lockheed Martin Corp, MTI Wireless Edge Ltd, Raytheon Technologies Corp, and Rohde and Schwarz GmbH and Co KG.
Raw material and components suppliers operating in the military antenna market provide polymer matrix, iron, nickel, metal alloy, carbon fiber, and graphite to manufacture military antennas. Suppliers play a major role in ensuring the quality and availability of the product, and their operations impact the overall supply chain. The assortment of raw materials depends on the desired quality, texture, functionality, and resistance required in communication, navigation, and surveillance systems. However, variations in the prices of raw materials can impact the expenditure of production and the overall price of the product.
The proliferation of communication on-the-move solutions, primarily for military vehicles, fighter aircraft, and naval ships, is boosting the demand for electronically steered phased array antennas. The advanced array antennas can support tracking and maintaining satellite links even when the vehicles are moving. There is a surging demand for advanced technologies to meet the ever-changing battlefield requirements. For instance, in October 2023, Keysight Technologies, Inc. launched the Phased Array Antenna Control and Calibration solution that facilitates satellite designers fabricating active electronically scanned arrays specifically for satellite communications applications to test their designs in time of validation.
The growing unstable geopolitical scenario worldwide regarding India-Pakistan, China-Taiwan, China-India, Russia-Ukraine, Russia-US, and the Israel-Palestine war is boosting the demand for advanced surveillance, communication, and navigation systems. The unstable geopolitical occurrences like wars between nations are jeopardizing the common life and also increasing the national security threat and uncertainties, which is the major reason behind growing focus on strengthening the security forces to combat such unwanted situations. The advanced communication and surveillance systems facilitate the development of a comprehensive and accurate analysis, aiding more precise threat assessments and target engagements. Thus, modern warfare scenarios emphasize heightened situational awareness, rapid data sharing, integrated defense systems, improved target engagement, electronic warfare capabilities, and compliance with evolving threats. Thus, the growing adoption of advanced warfare devices and equipment further drives the development of high-frequency military antennas to meet modern battlefield requirements. For instance, in 2023, Washington-based networking solution company Cambium Networks is anticipated to demonstrate its new PTP 700 beam-steering outdoor unit equipped with an advanced antenna at the Association of United States Army Annual Meeting and Exposition 2023. In addition, in 2023, the Space Force collaborated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to manage the growing number of military satellites in orbit. Space Force is anticipated to use NOAA Antennas for its military satellite missions in upcoming projects.
