What Is Covered Under Electronically Scanned Arrays Market?

The electronically scanned array refers to an array or group of antennas producing radio wave beams and rays. Electronically, the released waves are directed in the anticipated direction to a precise point without any physical movement of the antennas. The electronically scanned arrays do not consist of any moving parts as compared to mechanically scanned solid apertures requiring maintenance. The main types of electronically scanned arrays are active and passive. An active electronically scanned array (AESA) consists of an array of antennas that form a beam of radio waves that can be aimed in different directions without physically moving the antennae themselves. AESA technology is primarily used in radars. Electronically scanned arrays are of different geometry such as linear, planar, and frequency scanning, and ranges such as short, medium, and long. Major end-users of electronically scanned arrays are on land, navel, and airborne. They are mainly used in defense, government, and commercial applications.

What Is The Electronically Scanned Arrays Market Growth Forecast?

The electronically scanned arrays market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.51 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of autonomous defense platforms, growth of airborne and naval surveillance, integration of AI based signal processing, rising defense budgets, demand for multi band radar systems. Major trends in the forecast period include active electronically scanned arrays, advanced radar systems, multi function antenna systems, beam steering technologies, next generation surveillance solutions.

What Is The Driver Of The Electronically Scanned Arrays Market?

Increasing growth in global air traffic is significantly driving the growth of the electronically scanned arrays market. Global air traffic refers to the movement of aircraft in the air, including takeoffs, landings, and flights between airports around the world. Electronically scanned arrays are used in air traffic control and management systems to significantly enhance radar capabilities and improving airspace management. For instance, in September 2023, according to the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based trade association of the world's airlines, the amount of foreign traffic increased by 29.6% in comparison to the same month last year, with strong development observed in every market. International RPKs were 88.7% of what they were in July 2019. The industry's passenger load factor (PLF) hit 85.7%, the highest monthly PLF ever noted on a global scale. Hence, the growth in global air traffic is expected to propel the electronically scanned arrays industry growth over the coming years.

Global Electronically Scanned Arrays Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the electrically scanned arrays market are focused on developing new technological solutions such as breakthrough over-the-air (OTA) calibration and characterization solution to strengthen their position in the market. Over-the-air (OTA) calibration and characterization is a testing methodology that evaluates and fine-tunes the performance of antenna systems in their actual operating environment, without the need to physically connect probes or cables. For instance, in October 2023, Keysight Technologies, an US-based manufacturer of electronic test and measurement equipment and software, launches Phased Array Antenna Control and Calibration Solution for Satellite Communications, the solution facilitates rapid testing and validation of active electronically scanned arrays in satellite communications, addressing the complexities of higher-frequency operations. With proprietary calibration algorithms, the system enables accurate measurement of gain and phase, significantly reducing calibration times. The solution covers a wide range of verification tests, providing a user-friendly interface and maximizing the utility of existing test chambers within Keysight's Antenna Measurement Toolset.
