Cognitive Electronic Warfare System Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing demand for AI-enabled warfare systems to combat dynamic threats is notably driving the cognitive electronic warfare (EW) system market growth, although factors such as the vulnerability of electronic warfare systems to cyber-attacks may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the cognitive EW system industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Cognitive Electronic Warfare System Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global cognitive electronic warfare system industry growth is the increasing demand for AI-enabled warfare systems to combat dynamic threats. Misleading signals and intercepts employ preprogrammed tactics, thus, an adaptive electronic warfare system cannot combat new or unknown threat environments. Hence, in such a case, a cognitive electronic warfare system is used because it reduces potential hazards. It uses ML techniques to categorize and assess electromagnetic spectrum signals emitted by enemy radars as known or unknown threats. China, the US, and Russia are the primary countries investing heavily in technologically advanced cognitive electronic warfare systems. For FY 2020 and FY 2021, the US DoD spent USD 4 billion and USD 841 million, respectively, for AI R&D. Such factors will contribute to the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Cognitive Electronic Warfare System Market Trend
Increasing adoption of next-generation jammers is one of the key cognitive EW system market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Next-generation jammers use cognitive algorithms to recognize signs and respond quickly to keep the aircraft safe. The advanced airborne attack capability provided by the next-generation jammer jams radars inside specified frequencies and allows the aircraft to enter the enemy's airspace. Thus, next-generation jamming solutions are primarily used by the US Navy, Chinese Navy and Air Force, and Russian Defense Forces. The US Navy spent about USD 180 million on next-generation jammers in 2021. In 2022, the plan was improved, with a total investment of USD 245 million. The EAJP is a novel AI-based jammer pod developed by SAAB AB. L3Harris Technologies, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Corporation are among the companies working on jammer programs to provide OEMs with next-generation solutions. Such factors will support the growth of the market in focus in the forecast years.
Key Cognitive Electronic Warfare System Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global cognitive electronic warfare system industry growth is the vulnerability of electronic warfare systems to cyber-attack. Cybercriminals target essential national infrastructures such as communications, intelligence, and surveillance systems by exploiting potential weaknesses in electronic warfare systems. For instance, in April 2022, Russian hackers hacked into Ukraine's power grid, causing blackouts, and then used malware to obstruct repair efforts. In July 2020, the US Army released a study stating that 6,000 North Korean electronic warfare specialists and hackers were operating out of Russia, Malaysia, China, Belarus, and India. Cyber-terrorism is on the rise and may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
This cognitive electronic warfare system market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
