Radar will remain a core part of aircraft avionics suites, battlefield command networks, missile defense shields, and air traffic control (ATC) systems over the next 10 years. To meet global demand, Forecast International's "The Market for Radar Systems" study is projecting a $40 billion radar market over the decade reviewed - 2005-2006. This total will encompass the development, procurement, and maintenance of nearly 100 different radar systems over the next 10 years. In terms of unit sales, 9,800 individual radar systems will be procured worldwide during the decade.
Although infrared and electro-optical sensors have become increasing popular, radar remains a vital part of any modern sensor suite. Radar systems are now being tied to overall data-fusion networks on the battlefield and electronic suites in commercial aircraft.
Modern technology will drive radar production, according to William Ostrove, the report's author. "Technology is making active electronically scanned array (AESA) a viable, affordable, attractive alternative to the old dish or more modern phased-array aperture," he said. Ostrove added that many new radar systems over the next 10 years, especially military fire control and surveillance radars, will be dominated by AESA technology.
