Opportunity: The rise in adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are primarily used in the military domain. They can also be used in the civilian domain as remote sensing tools. Various countries, such as China, Russia, and Israel are developing UAVs for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. New generation UAVs are being used for various combat missions, including attacks on hostile ground targets. Combat UAVs, such as the Predator and the Heron, have been developed by the US and Israel, respectively. These UAVs use various synthetic aperture radars for airborne mapping. The increasing adoption of lightweight combat UAVs equipped with solid state radars is expected to create an opportunity for the solid state radars market.

Challenge: Susceptibility to new jamming techniques

Radar jamming involves the deliberate emission of radio frequency signals that interfere with the operations of a radar. Jamming can be done with the help of two main techniques, namely, noise technique and repeater technique. Solid state radars are susceptible to a jamming technique depending on their range, size, and nature. New electronic radar jamming techniques use interfering signals to block the receiver with highly concentrated energy signals, thereby effectively blocking the signal from reaching the airborne radar and stopping it from functioning effectively. The susceptibility of solid state radars to novel jamming techniques may challenge the growth of the market in the near future.
