The Airborne Radars market is projected to grow from USD 15.8 million in 2023 to USD 23.6 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2023 to 2028. Various factors, such as the increasing demand for airborne weather monitoring, technological advancements in airborne radars system will drive the airborne radars market. However, high development and maintenance cost and implications of extreme weather conditions involving airborne radars are limiting the overall growth of the market.

“Digital signal processors: The largest share in component segment in the airborne radars market in 2023.”
The digital signal processor segment is projected to have the largest share in 2023. A digital signal processor acts as a computer that performs all command & control operations through signal processing. While traditional systems use analog signal processing techniques, new digital signal processing uses high-end processors such as field programmable gate array (FPGA), graphics processing unit (GPU), and general-purpose processors. This would drive the digital signal processors segment during the forecast period.

“Defense and Security: The largest share in application segment in the airborne radars market in 2023.”
The Defense and Security from the application segment is projected to have the largest share in 2023. Airborne radars are used by police forces, border security forces, coastal & maritime patrol officers, and search & rescue operatives. Use in air traffic control and bomb scoring and increasing need for actionable intelligence to ensure safety against unauthorized targets are the drivers which are expected to leverage the defense and security segment .

“KA-band: The second largest share in frequency band segment in the airborne radars market in 2023.”
The KA-band segment is projected to have the second-largest share in 2023. KA-band radars are available with a frequency range from 24-40 GHz and a wavelength between 0.75 cm and 1.11 cm. They can deliver spot beams with 10 times the capacity of KU-band frequency. These bands are primarily used for mapping; they have a short-range but high-resolution imaging capability. KA-bands are widely used in airport surface detection equipment (ASDE). High focused and powerful signals will drive the KA-band segment
