Active Phased Array Radar (APAR) Market

Active Phased Array Radar (APAR) Market Outlook 2030 -

Active Phased Array Radar (APAR) is a multifunction 3D radar that is mounted on a ship. APAR has four fixed non-rotating sensor arrays (faces), mounted on a pyramidal structure. Each face consists of 3424 transmit/receive (TR) modules that operate on X band frequencies. Phased-array radar devices produce an angular scanning of the horizon without mechanical rotation of the antenna. This is accomplished through a voltage-dependent phase shift in the antenna elements. Such shifts can be generated in bulk ferroelectrics, but only at extremely high voltages (kV), which necessitates large sizes and weights.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The overall effect of the COVID-19 outbreak has an impact on the manufacturing process of several industries in the radar market. As the governments of different provinces have already announced total lockdown and the temporary shutdown of industries, the overall production process has hampered the growth of the active phased array radar (APAR) market globally. The COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on the society and the economy globally. The impact of this outbreak is growing -each day as well as affecting the supply chain. The crisis is causing stock market uncertainty, a drop in business confidence, a massive slowing of the supply chain, and an increase in panic among customer segments. The European countries under lockdowns have lost a significant amount of business and revenue, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. The outbreak of the COVID-19 disease has had a significant impact on the operations of the production and manufacturing industries resulting in a slowdown in the growth of the radar market in 2020. The COVID-19 has had a significant impact   on the global automotive and industrial sectors, as the manufacturing facility has stalled. The symptoms include large-scale manufacturing interruptions across Europe, disruption in Chinese parts exports, which hinder the radar market growth.

Top Impacting Factors

• Requirement to replace the traditional radar system, increase in use of active phased array radar in the defense & military sectors and growing preference for technologically advanced radar for providing all -weather battlefield surveillance drive the market growth.
• Long replacement cycle of the radar system is expected to hamper the market growth
• Supportive growth through regulatory compliance/policies is seen as a market investments opportunity.

The Active Phase Array Radar Market Trends are as follows:

Increasing Application of active phased array radar in the Defense and Military Sector

The defense sector is the primary application area for Active Phased Array Radar (APAR). The governments across various economies are focusing on increasing military investment, to strengthen their defense system, allowing them to better defend themselves in times of war. For instance, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global military expenditure in 2016 was valued at US$1686 billion, an increase of 0.4% over 2015. Active phased array radar is primarily used in radars to implement Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA).   A computer controlled phased array antenna is known as an AESA. The radio beam can be electronically steered in a different direction without the actual physical movement of the antenna. Active electronically scanned array is a more advanced and sophisticated version of the Passive Electrically Scanned Array (PESA). The active phased array radar system can spread signal emissions across a wider frequency range, which makes them harder to detect over background noise, allowing ships and aircraft to radiate powerful radar signals while still remaining stealthy. The missile guidance capability of active phased array radar supports the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) and the SM-2 Block IIIA missile. Majority of the radar systems used in modern combat aircraft are using active phased array radar (radar by application of AESA systems). Hence, the APAR market is majorly driven by the defense sector.

Supportive Growth Through Regulatory Compliance/Policies

The growth of the maritime security & safety industry is driven by supportive regulatory compliances, the JRC contributes to the implementation of the Integrated Maritime Policy, in particular, related to Integrated Maritime Surveillance with its competencies in space technologies and data fusion. Moreover, assistance is provided by responding to the needs of a wide range of maritime policies including irregular migration/border control, maritime security, fisheries control, anti-piracy, oil pollution, and smuggling. Furthermore, the global dimension of these policies is addressed to help detect illegal activities in international waters. Moreover, research & implementation of advanced technology-based solutions are being conducted to develop novel solutions for addressing existing capability gaps, such as the tracking of small boats. Furthermore, the European Commission has begun implementing cross-cutting policies such as blue growth, marine data, and knowledge, maritime spatial planning, sea basin strategies along with the JRC’s blue hub in-house platform to perform research in the fields of maritime surveillance and Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) is responsible for creating opportunities for increasing the maritime surveillance market share at certain extend.
