Global Through Wall Radar Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Through Wall Radar Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Through Wall Radar is a device that detects targets behind walls or other shelters through electromagnetic wave signals below the S-band. By processing and analyzing the echo signal, the through wall radar can locate and track the target behind the wall, and can also penetrate obstacles to detect weak signals such as heartbeat and breathing. Generally speaking, through wall radars are generally small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry. During work, through wall radar can penetrate non-metallic media (such as soil, brick wall ruins, including multi-layer reinforced concrete prefabricated plate ruins, etc.) for life detection, and can intelligently judge whether there is life, and automatically give detection results.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Through Wall Radar market finds that the global Through Wall Radar market reached a value of USD 190.82 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 302.32 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.97% during the forecast period.

Russo-Ukraine war sparks demand for through wall radar systems

After the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict broke out, Russian ground troops penetrated deep into the territory of Ukraine from four directions: east, south, north, and northeast, and the initial progress was relatively smooth. However, the main force of the Ukrainian army sticks to various large and medium-sized cities and towns, relying on the complex terrain in the city to resist. Therefore, a week after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, it has already evolved into the largest urban offensive and defensive battle in the world in recent decades.

With the changing situation of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the world is under the influence of the accelerated growth of new-wave defense spending. However, these conflicts may have a greater impact than military budgets. It can also facilitate changes in procurement priorities. For example, since 2014, Russia has successfully deployed new electronic warfare equipment in Syria, which has stimulated the development of communication solutions and the deployment of (possibly incomplete) communication solutions that work in a GPS environment. The Russo-Ukraine war also changed the balance of defense procurement, and the defense sector needs to prepare for this change. Several countries, such as India and China, are prioritizing defense spending on the radar industry to build the necessary infrastructure to counter growing threats to their countries. This factor is likely to moderately affect the growth of the through wall radar market.

In addition, in the Russian-Ukrainian war, in response to the situation where the Ukrainian army hijacked civilians as human shields, the Russian army's storm could easily cause civilian casualties. Then, we can learn from the methods of special police and special forces to rescue the hostages. First, use small drones and unmanned vehicles to conduct reconnaissance of the situation in the building. Weapons incapacitate opponents to better rescue abducted civilians.

On the battlefield, through wall radar can be used as a battlefield surveillance radar to detect enemies hidden in shelters such as bushes and rainforests. Through wall radar can also detect any camouflage of combatants and combine it with the actual environment. Therefore, ambush warfare will have no actual combat value in future wars. Combat strategies will be adjusted again in the future, and asymmetric warfare will become more and more difficult to gain the upper hand.

An increase in incidents of international conflicts and terrorist attacks is expected to boost the through-wall radar market growth

Globally, the absolute number of war deaths has been declining since 1946. However, conflict and violence are currently on the rise, with most conflicts today occurring between factional militias, criminal elements, and non-state actors such as international terrorist groups. Unresolved regional tensions, the breakdown of the rule of law, absent or co-opted state institutions, illicit economic gains, and resource scarcity exacerbated by climate change have emerged as major contributors to conflict. At the same time, the conflict is becoming more fragmented, with the number of armed groups involved in the Syrian civil war, for example, ballooning from just eight to thousands since the conflict began. Moreover, today's conflicts are difficult to resolve in traditional forms, making them more protracted and deadly. This is largely due to the regionalization of conflict, which interconnects political, socio-economic, and military issues across national borders and exacerbates each other. The war in Yemen is a painful example. Wars and conflicts will increase the demand for through wall radars. For example, in street fighting, through wall radars can penetrate walls to detect enemies inside buildings and are therefore widely used in the Syrian battlefield. With the advent of through wall radar, it's hard to see another example of the Battle of Stalingrad Street being turned upside down, and it was also very effective against terrorists and rebels.

The incomplete research of through wall radar on human action recognition technology is one of the challenges limiting its development

At present, the research on human motion recognition technology of through wall radar is not perfect. The main challenge is that the research on the compound influence mechanism of obstacles on target feature information is not sufficient. Secondly, under the premise of ensuring good penetration ability, it is very difficult to improve the fineness of human motion recognition. And under the condition of unknown prior knowledge, it is very difficult to judge the start and end periods of the target action. Finally, it is very difficult to compare the performance of human target action recognition methods proposed in different literature.

In addition, due to the particularity of the application scenarios of through wall radar, how to further improve the system integration based on existing achievements, so that it is more suitable for the engineering application requirements of real-time, low power, miniaturization and convenience of through wall detection It is still an important challenge for the development of through wall radar detection technology in the future.
