INTRODUCTION

Radars have been used by Militaries across the globe for past 80 years now. What used to be just a blip on the screen when a contact was made, now even basics radars can detail on the size of object and type of contact.

 

As battlefields become non-linear and a 360-degree protection is more important than ever, the role of an advanced radar system is even bigger now.

 

Modern radar systems now feature advanced materials, solid-state modules, digital signal processors, and complex A-D converters to provide more information to military users who need the best possible capability in small, compact, and efficient packages.

 

MILITARY RADAR MARKET DYNAMICS

The military radars have come a long way and the market is moving towards modern electronically-scanned array radars, the advantage is that a simple software change can change what targets they’re optimized against: without making any changes to the hardware.

 

Solid-state technology turned out to be the biggest game changer in development of new age radars. Coupled with RF chips, allowed them to move to active electronically steered arrays

 

Russia is looking to further expand and upgrade its surveillance capabilities in the arctic region. During 2014-2019, Russia constructed three Resonance-N radar installations, two of which are located in the Arctic. The advanced radar system is designed to detect and track up to 500 targets simultaneously traveling at speeds up to Mach 20.

 

Among the important opportunities that every Radar manufacturer must look into is that today’s radar systems are not capable of seeing far enough out to detect hypersonic weapons. The new gen Radar systems will need to see thousands of kilometres (rather than hundreds) out to provide warning about incoming hypersonic threat.

Radar signal processing is one of the most demanding embedded computing applications known in deployed military and aerospace systems. Signal processing demands fall into two general categories—converting signals from analog to digital, and then back into analog, and making sense of signals once they are digitized.

TRENDS IN MILIATRY RADAR MARKET

1. The development of new radar systems is now shifting away from dish antennas towards active electronically steered arrays (AESA), consequently, there is a demand for high-power signal amplification distributed across the array.
2. Makers of traditional radar and electronic warfare equipment are, introducing modular instruments and additional modelling and simulation during different test phases. Modelling and simulation reduce the need for expensive full-system testing and aids in identifying and solving problems earlier in the testing process to reduce schedule risk
3. Platform miniaturization is driving the consolidation of radio frequency systems. Next gen radars, Electronic Warfare receivers, and communications will share the same sensor platform and will be tested as on integrated unit
4. BAE to Provide MIDS-LVT Link 16 to France, Italy, Germany and Spain. The MIDS-LVT terminal provides at-a-glance portrayal of targets, threats, and friendly forces on an easy-to-understand relative position display
5. Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) technology has been added to conventional radar to help detect and magnify weaker signals.
6. Israel’s Camero-Tech Launches Xaver System to Detect Live Objects Behind Walls.
7. Rosoboronexport, Russia to Display Anti-Stealth Aircraft Radar at Aero India,2021. The solid-state radar is based on modern hardware components and digital signal processing and generation technology. It features high energy potential and increased immunity. The radar is designed to detect, track, locate and identify air targets of various classes.

 

The National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or NASAMS, can be integrated with the GhostEye MR radar from Raytheon Missiles & Defense.

 

The United States and 11 allies presently utilise this medium-range air defence system that was developed in collaboration with Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace and has been in use for more than three decades. The broad use of NASAMS demonstrates the highest level of consumer confidence.

 

By integrating with NASAMS, GhostEye MR unquestionably raises the bar for that system. This radar significantly boosts the overall efficacy of the air defence capability by extending the range and altitude that the tried-and-true NASAMS defends.

 

As a part of NASAMS, the sensor increases the effectiveness and performance of the system’s effectors, particularly RMD’s Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile Extended Range version, or AMRAAMER.

 

Active electronically scanned array, or AESA, and military-grade gallium nitride, or GaN, combined into the GhostEye MR provide the sensor a significant advantage.

 

The medium-range sensor, the newest member of RMD’s GhostEye family of radars, takes use of similarities with the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS, technology that the business is producing for the U.S. Army.

 

These developments are currently being applied to the GhostEye MR mission set. The architecture of our GhostEye family of radars is scalable and modular, enabling a wide range of operations. Everything is logistically efficient, economical, and simple to integrate.

 

Through safe software upgrades using software-defined aperture digital technology, Raytheon Missiles & Defense expands and adds capabilities. This technology is comparable to that used to update smartphones but far more advanced. Furthermore, these improvements can be made without removing the radar from service.
