The Radar Simulator market is projected to reach US$ 2428.34 million by 2028 from US$ 1769.86 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2028.
With the rising security threats and national border disputes, there has been an increase in the use of radar simulators at airports to train airport trainees and radar operators to detect and mitigate various threats. Various countries are adopting radar simulators for airport reconstruction and renovation activities. Radar simulators are also used across naval ports to detect threats across the ports and take prompt actions to address them. Radar simulators are also placed at air force base stations to train pilots as well as operators to detect and report any threats to the base stations. Thus, the military forces, along with border security forces and paramilitaries, are procuring technologically advanced radar simulators.
A rise in commercial as well as defense aircraft, along with military land clearance operations, is driving the need for radar simulators. Terrorists are using UAVs and targeting general civilians and public infrastructure and combating these attacks has become a significant challenge for air force authorities, homeland security teams, and defense forces. As a result, the installation of radar simulators for training police officers and homeland security force to operate radar system has become the priority of various governments. Aerial attacks cause serious problems on humanitarian, environmental, political, and economic levels with the destruction of public infrastructure. Therefore, developing a training simulation environment for operators with the help of radar simulators has become critical and essential.
North America is at the forefront of technological advancements and expenditure toward military technologies that primarily drive the radar simulator market. The growing demand for advanced and reliable radar simulators is one of the major factors contributing to the growth of the market in the region. Further, the rising operations related to the simulation and analysis of radar systems for military aerospace, commercial aerospace, military vehicles, naval vehicles, and commercial space industry in the US, Canada, and Mexico are favoring the radar simulator market growth in this region. The rising trend for using surveillance radar applications to analyze target radar cross-section (RCS) with the help of radar simulators is also driving the radar simulator market across North America.
COVID-19 Impact on Radar Simulator Market
In North America, the US is the largest military spender, followed by Canada and Mexico, respectively. However, the COVID-19 pandemic influenced these countries to decrease their invest in developing and acquiring new military technologies in this region. There was a complete halt in the production, manufacturing, and supply of military and defense equipment due to restricted social activities in different countries. The pandemic and related containment measures obstructed the supply chain of the North American radar simulator industry in the initial month. A decline in customer orders was also observed. This resulted in the huge backlog of orders among key market players, thereby negatively impacting the radar simulator market growth.
The US accounts for the largest share in radar simulation market in North America due to the early adoption of the radar simulator technology. Additionally, the US has the largest defense budget in the world, and a large part of the budget is contributed to the adoption and procurement of upgraded weapons systems. The rising number of aircraft across the US air force and military also supports the radar simulator market in the country. Growing utilization of radar simulators for accurately simulating real-world terrain as well as weather patterns and targets across the US is favoring the radar simulator market in the country. The widespread use of radar simulators for commercial training and teaching purpose of pilots and air support staff has been on the rise in the country. Further, the adoption of radar simulators for creating complex multi-radar, multi-target simulations, thereby allowing systems to be tested of RADAR data also boosts the radar simulator market growth in the US.
Additionally, the adoption of AI, deep learning, and big data analytics is continuously increasing across various applications in the military and defense sector, which has made AI increasingly important for the development of modern warfare systems. UAVs developed by various enterprises have modern capabilities and have extended their reach and operating boundaries. There has been a trend for development of laser guided missiles that have higher accuracy to hit the locked target. In order, to combat this threat in the future, the radar simulator market is expected to observe a trend for development of radars and radar simulators to train operators to combat the rising modern warfare systems. Edge Computing, AI and machine learning are expected to speed up the development and adoption of AI enabled warfare systems that are expected to boost the radar simulator market in the coming years.
A few radar simulator market players include Collins Aerospace; Bae Systems plc.; TEXTRON Systems, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., and Leonardo SpA.
The overall radar simulator market size has been derived using both primary and secondary sources. To begin the research process, exhaustive secondary research has been conducted using internal and external sources to obtain qualitative and quantitative information related to the market. The process also serves the purpose of obtaining an overview and forecast of the radar simulator market size with respect to all market segments. Also, multiple primary interviews have been conducted with industry participants and commentators to validate the data and gain more analytical insights. The participants typically involved in this process include VPs, business development managers, market intelligence managers, national sales managers, and external consultants - such as valuation experts, research analysts, and key opinion leaders - specializing in the radar simulator market.
