Overview of the global military satellite market
Technavio's market research analysis identifies the growing investment in SAR satellites as one of the primary growth factors for the military satellite market. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites combine circulated radar signals and complex digital processing for creating high-resolution /images of landscapes or terrains and have the ability to operate in all weather conditions. SAR satellites in the defense applications are primarily used for mapping out the terrain, locating enemy vehicles, and spotting both friendly and hostile forces. Several defense agencies are making large investments for the effective acquisition of intelligence /imagery for evolving security concerns. Our market research analysts predict that this market will to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 6% by 2021.
The miniaturization of sensory payloads is identified as one of the key trends behind the growth of the military satellite market. Technological advancements have enabled the miniaturization of the satellites and this helps in the reduction of the overall weight and in optimizing the performance. The miniaturized radar camera is cost-effective and industry viable due to consumption of less power. The miniaturized radar camera produces better quality /images than the traditional designs. Such benefits will induce defense agencies to adopt miniaturized sensors and computers to reduce cost overruns.
