Defense Integrated Antenna Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Focus on the Development of Miniaturized Antenna-Based Systems

Integrated antennas are used in small military aircraft (including military trainer aircraft), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), surveillance vehicles, warfare systems, navigation systems, and communication systems. Due to the increasing requirement for antennas that take less space, the antenna manufacturers are increasing their focus on developing miniature integrated antennas. For instance, L3 Harris offers a miniature multiband directional (MMD) antenna for ground-based operations. This antenna establishes reliable, only receivable data links for the static operations. It is a low-SWaP antenna that delivers range across L, S, C, and KU frequency bands in a single compact unit.

Increasing Deployment of Military UAVs and Drones

UAVs are being used for various applications, such as search & rescue, remote monitoring, and surveillance. Using a wireless link to transfer information from a UAV to a ground station is difficult for such applications. Antennas are the most vital part of the wireless link, so they must be designed in such a way that they effortlessly integrate with the UAV without affecting it. For this, the antenna should be lightweight, thin, conformal, and can provide wide coverage. Various military forces are deploying UAVs, increasing the demand for integrated antenna systems. For instance, in January 2022, The Brazilian Air Force signed a contract with AEL Sistemas. Under this contract, AEL Sistemas will provide two Hermes 900 (RQ-900 in Brazil service) multirole medium-altitude long-endurance UAVs and their spare parts to the Brazilian Air Force.
