X-Band Radar Segmentation

End User (Defense & Aerospace, Government & Public Safety, Commercial Aviation, Maritime Industry)

The defense and aerospace segment is projected to garner 45.2% of the X-band radar market share owing to rising military modernization programs, such as Next Generation Radar Initiatives. Also, there is an increased demand for the naval and airborne X-band radars. Other than this, in 2024, the U.S. Department of Defense assigned USD 843 billion for upgrading radar and missile defense systems. Also, the X-band radars are pivotal for ballistic missile defense on the back of their significant precision for even a greater frequency. The famous Iron Dome defense in Israel also incorporates X-band radars for finding out and intercepting rockets with a short range.

Application (Military & Defense, Weather Monitoring, Maritime Navigation, Air Traffic Control, Autonomous Vehicles)

The military and defense radar systems segment is anticipated to register 35.5% of the X-band radar market share owing to the rising geopolitical tensions and increasing adoption of ballistic missiles. X-band radar, such as KRONOS by Leonardo, is introduced in the Middle East and Ukraine for the efficient detection of drones. Also, in the U.S., USD 2.2 billion was allocated for X-band radars (AN/TPY) in 2024, under the Missile Defense Agency budget, particularly for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. The growth of the segment can also be ascribed to the X band’s significant resistance to jamming. For instance, the TPY-4 radar from Lockheed illustrates 31% increased jamming in comparison with the legacy systems.
