Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the growing prominence of CREW systems. One of the crucial parts is the CREW systems which are extensively used by military and law enforcement personnel to detonate RCIEDs, resulting in a considerable decline in the casualties associated with RCIED attacks. Additionally, it is essential to offer extensive training to operate the CREW systems for interrupting the communication links of an IED.
Moreover, the AN/ULQ-35 CREW Duke system manufactured by SRC is one of the most popular CREW systems. The system is mainly designed to be mounted on vehicles and is integrated with features such as superior protection performance, user-friendly operation, and low power consumption. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the growth. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
There have been significant advancements in the equipment used in electronic warfare, especially in its functionality due to the progression in algorithms and software that help impart operational capabilities to the systems. There is an increasing installation of these systems on several military vehicles for use on land, air, sea, or space.
Moreover, there is an increasing availability of the systems in lighter and smaller packaged units due to further advancements which can easily be operated at lower power levels using analog, digital, and RF-microwave technologies. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market growth. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The class of emitters used in dense electromagnetic tactical environments is one of the crucial aspects considered in the adoption of countermeasure techniques in warfare. The main purpose of ES devices is that it is used for intercept the signals sent out from emitters such as radars and support countermeasures, thereby detecting and locating enemy communication emitters
Moreover, there are few constraints associated with the process of emitter classification. It has become increasingly difficult for ES devices to differentiate between the signals of new sensors as well as existing sensors. Furthermore, the performance of the emitter declines over time which makes it hard to identify the patterns in perimeter hit. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market growth. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The support segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Electronic support (ES) comprises actions that are directly controlled by operational commanders or operators and enable threat recognition, targeting, threat avoidance, and homing. Several pieces of information that are generated including frequency, bandwidth, and modulation of incoming threats, can be extensively used for long-term operational planning. Furthermore, this ES information coupled with ISR data can be leveraged by aircrew members to improve their situational awareness during contingency operations.

The support segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 8,630.54 million in 2017. Thus it significantly helps in gathering the desired situational awareness in operational environments with the establishment of an advanced level of warfare using military-grade electronics. Another significant tool in this segment is the Electronic Maintenance Support System (EMSS) which is designed to enhance service support during combat for the US Marine Air-Ground Task Forces (MAGTF). EMSS is embedded with ith an electronic maintenance device (EMD) and several other accessories. The main advantage of EMSS is that it has the ability to offer ground maintenance staff an electronic support tool capable of troubleshooting over wired or wireless connectivity. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Platform Segment Analysis:
Based on the platform, the segment is classified into airborne, ground, naval, and space. One of the essential components in the global market is airborne systems as it allows advanced signal intelligence, jamming, and countermeasures against new threats. For instance, the Boeing EA-18G Growler is known for its ability to launch electronic attacks and interfere with adversary radar and communications systems. The main advantage of these platforms is that they enable the collection and analysis of data in real time, enhancing situational awareness. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
