High Power Microwave Directed Energy Weapons Market By Type (Pulsed-wave high power microwave, Continuous-wave high power microwave), By Platform (Airborne, Naval, Ground-based), By End-user (Army, Navy, Airforce): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry

High Power Microwave Directed Energy Weapons Market By Type (Pulsed-wave high power microwave, Continuous-wave high power microwave), By Platform (Airborne, Naval, Ground-based), By End-user (Army, Navy, Airforce): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

A High Power Microwave (HPM) weapon belongs to the category of directed-energy weapons, utilizing electromagnetic radiation within the microwave frequency spectrum to incapacitate or incapacitate electronic systems. These weapons are crafted to release a focused stream of high-energy microwaves, which can be precisely aimed at a specific target, such as the electronic systems or communication devices of an adversary.The army constitutes a vital segment of a nation's military forces, with a primary emphasis on ground-based operations encompassing artillery, armored vehicles, and specialized units. It plays a pivotal role in safeguarding national security. The army's responsibilities commonly involve executing land-based military operations, upholding territorial integrity, and addressing a spectrum of security challenges.

This weapon has been designed to safeguard military bases from potential threats posed by incoming drones. The testing is expected to take place as early as 2024, following an initial on-site demonstration at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. Potential targets encompass communication systems, radar installations, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and other critical electronic devices pivotal to the enemy's military operations. Furthermore, HPM weapons present a non-lethal means for deterrence, which is expected to be beneficial for the army to disrupt electronic systems of drones, and other weapons. By incapacitating electronic systems without causing harm to individuals, these weapons become viable in scenarios where minimizing casualties is of paramount importance. Such advantages are expected to drive the growth of the market. The navy is a branch of a country's armed forces that primarily operates at sea. It is responsible for securing maritime interests, defending coastlines, projecting power through naval presence, and conducting operations at sea. Naval forces consist of warships, submarines, and other vessels for maritime warfare.

Microwave weaponry has the potential to be incorporated into naval vessels to counter incoming threats such as missiles, drones, or small boats. These systems can interfere with or incapacitate the electronic systems of these threats, offering a non-kinetic form of defense. The Navy forces of various countries aim to utilize high-power microwave (HPM) weapons in electronic warfare scenarios to disrupt or disable the electronic systems of adversary ships, aircraft, or communication systems. For instance, in July 2022, the U.S. Navy and Air Force research laboratories concluded a joint five-year effort to advance high-power microwave technology. The focus is on a weapon called the High-Powered Joint Electromagnetic Non-Kinetic Strike Weapon (HiJENKS), which utilizes microwave technology to disable electronic systems of adversaries. Moreover, the rise in current research and development within the Navy to improve microwave weapon technologies, enhancing their effectiveness for future applications, is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The airorce is a branch of a country's military forces that primarily focuses on aerial warfare and operations in the air domain. It is responsible for the defense of airspace, conducting air operations, strategic bombing, reconnaissance, and providing air support to ground forces. The Air Force can employ microwave weapons for disrupting and incapacitating the electronic systems of adversaries. These weapons produce high-power microwave pulses capable of causing interference or damage to electronic components found in enemy aircraft, communication systems, radar installations, and other electronic devices. Theses microwave weapons can be categorized as a type of directed energy weapon, and the Air Force plans to explore their incorporation into its non-kinetic weapon systems. Directed energy weapons, which include microwaves, offer advantages such as engaging targets at the speed of light and the capacity to target multiple entities simultaneously. The integration of microwave weapons into a range of Air Force platforms, encompassing both aircraft and ground-based systems, is expected to propel the growth of the market.

The high power microwave directed energy weapons market is segmented on the basis of type, platform, end-user, and region. Based on type, it is segmented into pulsed-wave high power microwave, and continuous-wave high power microwave. On the basis of platform, it is classified into airborne, naval, and ground-based. By end-user, it is categorized into army, navy, and airforce. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Some major companies operating in the market include Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, BAE systems, Boeing, Epirus, Inc., Thales Group, Leidos, Inc., L3Harris Technologies, Inc., Rheinmetall AG, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.
