[195 Pages Report] The Cognitive Electronic Warfare System Market size was estimated at USD 18.53 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 21.11 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 14.41% to reach USD 47.58 billion by 2030.
A cognitive electronic warfare (EW) system represents a transformative advancement in military defensive and offensive capabilities. It is a smart system that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to detect, evaluate, and respond to electromagnetic threats in real-time. The importance of Cognitive EW Systems lies in their capability to adapt to the dynamic electromagnetic environment of modern warfare. The increasing number of electronic warfare attacks and the complexity of threats necessitate more sophisticated defense solutions. Growing defense budgets in various countries to upgrade military technology also accelerate the use of cognitive electronic warfare technologies. However, the complexity of developing AI algorithms that can perform reliably in the dynamic EW environment and integration challenges with existing legacy systems and platforms have impeded market development. Collaborations between government agencies and private sector entities are expected to develop next-generation EW technologies with better compatibility with legacy systems. Market players are also focused on developing platform-agnostic systems that can be integrated into diverse military assets and several public-private partnerships to rapidly prototype and deploy cognitive EW solutions.
Components: Advancements in machine learning algorithms and electronic support technologies for wider intelligence systems
Antennas and transmitters form the major components of electronic warfare by allowing the transmission and reception of electromagnetic signals. High-gain antennas are preferred for targeted communication interception or jamming, while omnidirectional antennas are suited for broader signal collection. Electronic countermeasure systems (ECMs) are crucial for disrupting enemy radar, communication, and other electronic systems. These systems can be tuned to specific threats or programmed for various counteractions. Electronic support measures (ESM) are essential to detecting, intercepting, and analyzing enemy electronic emissions to inform threat assessment and counter-strategy formation. Machine learning (ML) algorithms empower cognitive electronic warfare systems with the capability for pattern recognition, rapid learning, and predictive analytics, enabling automated threat detection and response. ML algorithms are integral to modern electronic warfare for their adaptive threat recognition and learning capabilities, which improve with each engagement. Radiofrequency (RF) receivers capture electromagnetic signals across various bands. Selectivity and sensitivity are crucial features of RF receivers, which enable the differentiation and detailed reception of signal parameters. Signal processing units handle the analysis and interpretation of signals collected by RF receivers. These units typically employ high-speed computing to execute complex algorithms for real-time data processing. Systems that demand rapid signal processing prefer units with higher computational capabilities to facilitate timely countermeasure deployment. Software-defined radios (SDRs) provide the flexibility and adaptability required in dynamic electronic warfare scenarios. By leveraging software upgrades, SDRs can reconfigure the communication and interception capabilities according to the changing threat landscape.
Capability: Expanding usage of cognitive electronic warfare system for essential attacks to manage offensive combat scenarios
The electronic attack (EA) capability refers to using electromagnetic energy to attack personnel or equipment to neutralize, degrade, or destroy enemy combat capability. EA can include actions such as jamming, spoofing, and deception of radar, communication, and other electronic systems. The need for EA is paramount in scenarios where the immediate suppression of enemy air defenses or communication networks is needed to protect allied forces or achieve combat missions. Electronic intelligence (ELINT) encompasses the gathering and analyzing of intelligence through the interception of non-communication signals, such as radar and navigation systems. ELINT supports strategic planning and situational awareness, with a preference for continuous intelligence-gathering operations. This capability is vital for long-term defense and offensive strategy formulation rather than immediate tactical response. Electronic protection (EP) protects personnel and equipment from any effects of EA or reconnaissance efforts by adversaries, which is important in safeguarding friendly communication and electronic systems against interference and exploitation. EP is necessary in virtually all operational scenarios to ensure the functionality and security of critical systems. Electronic support (ES) refers to activities that search for, identify, and locate sources of unintentional or intentional radiated electromagnetic energy for immediate threat recognition. ES is critical for situational awareness and acts as a force multiplier by feeding into other capability segments. Preference for ES is given in real-time combat environments and intelligence operations.
Operation: Improved operational endurance and reduced risk to personnel with unmanned CEW systems
Manned cognitive EW systems are integrated into crewed military aircraft, vehicles, or ships. These systems typically require a human operator to manage and respond to the complex threat environment, although cognitive systems are increasingly automated. The key advantage of manned systems is the presence of experienced personnel who can make strategic decisions as per the cognitive capabilities of the EW system and perform tasks that cannot be easily automated. Manned systems are preferred when missions require human judgment, such as in complex rules of engagement or in scenarios where the presence of a crew is crucial for decision-making. They are also vital in operations where human-machine teaming is critical for mission success. Unmanned cognitive EW systems are equipped in drones, unmanned vehicles (UVs), and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Such systems operate without onboard humans, relying entirely on AI and machine learning algorithms to navigate and respond to electronic threats. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are autonomous vehicles capable of executing complex missions, including surveillance, jamming enemy communications and radar signals, and launching cyber-attacks. Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) specialize in detecting, tracking, and neutralizing mines and enemy communication lines under the sea. Unmanned systems are often preferred in high-risk environments, where sending personnel could be dangerous. They offer the capability to perform long-duration missions and persistent surveillance and can be employed for dull and dangerous tasks unsuitable for manned systems.
Platform: Potential of airborne platforms to protect assets from radar-guided and infrared-guided threats
Airborne platforms include various systems installed on aircraft, such as fighters, bombers, UAVs, and helicopters. These systems are designed to protect these assets from radar-guided and infrared-guided threats. Land systems are utilized on military vehicles and base stations and by individual soldiers. They primarily offer protection against improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as surveillance and counter-surveillance measures. Naval systems are integrated into various vessels, from small patrol boats to large aircraft carriers. Their primary function is safeguarding these platforms from anti-ship missiles and other electronic threats. Space-based systems are relatively newer than other platforms, providing satellite protection and secure communications.
