Electromagnetic Weapons Market by Type (Rail Guns, Coil Guns, and Electromagnetic Pulse Generators), Platform (Land-Based, Air-Based, and Sea-Based), and End User (Military and Homeland Security): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030
Electromagnetic weapons use electromagnetic energy as means to incapacitate or injure people, or to incapacitate, degrade, damage, or destroy electronic systems. Electromagnetic launchers such as railguns and coil guns use electrical energy to propel a mass at a target. These launchers involve use of strong magnetic fields to push against projectiles. EMP generators include electromagnetic bombs, nuclear electromagnetic generators, and non-nuclear electromagnetic generators. High electrical power and large amount of energy is required for these weapons. Technologies for storing and controlling electric power are needed, which are called pulsed-power technologies.
Adoption of electromagnetic weapons has increased in the military sector to deceive and disrupt enemy forces. EMP is used by militaries across the globe as a non-physically destructive weapon against a variety of targets. EMP possesses the ability to disable communication networks, damage radar networks, jam tanks, and block naval ships. Militaries across the globe are utilizing microwave and millimeter-wave technologies for development of advanced weapons. Advancements in technologies is resulting in improved operational utility of electromagnetic weapons with enhanced portability, greater power density, higher range, and superior power output.
The market is driven by growth in use of electromagnetic weapons in combat operations, modernization of weapons in militaries, and development of compact electromagnetic weapons for unmanned aerial vehicles. Technological advancements and increasing development of advanced weapons by governments across the world further supplement growth of this market. However, factors such as limitations associated with anti-personnel high-powered microwaves and risk of high collateral damage by use of electromagnetic weapons hamper growth of the electromagnetic weapons market. Increase in investments by government and defense organizations and rise in demand from emerging economies are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for expansion of the electromagnetic weapons market.
The global electromagnetic weapons market is segmented on the basis of type, platform, end user, and region.
