Global Anti-Ship Missile Defence System Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global anti-ship missile defense system market

Extensive market research carried out by Technavio’s analysts has predicted that the global anti-ship missile defense system market will grow progressively at a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period.  Countries such as the US, the UK, Russia, Iran, Israel, China, South Korea, India, and Japan are expected to increase their demand for anti-ship missile defense systems during the forecast period, owing to intensifying border threats and national security concerns. Some of the major vendors in the market are designing advanced anti-ship missile defense systems with improved speed, strike capabilities, and enhanced effectiveness to cater to the demand from these nations. With an increase in naval warfare and sea border disputes across the globe, the modernization of naval combat systems is on the rise. Several ships and vessels are being equipped with advanced radar, sensors, offensive and defensive weapons, and navigation systems, to expand the capabilities of naval warfare, which will further boost the demand for anti-ship missiles during the predicted period.

The increasing use of sea-based X-band radar-1 (SBX-1) system is the latest trend gaining momentum in the market. This radar system is an enhanced version of the K and Ka-band radar systems that can detect any suspicious movement from a long distance. These are advanced electro-mechanically steered phased array radars which include a mid-course fire control radar based on a semi-submersible naval vessel. The SBX-1 platform is equipped with a command, control, and communications (C3) system and an in-flight interceptor communication system data terminal, besides a BMDS system, which tracks the incoming missiles, countermeasures discrimination for ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) interceptor missiles, and destroys the threat outside the Earth's atmosphere.
