Anti-Jamming Equipment Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecast (2022 - 2027)

Anti-Jamming Equipment Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecast (2022 - 2027)

The anti-jamming equipment market was valued at USD 3,329.48 million in 2021, and it is expected to reach USD 6,823.97 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 12.99% during the forecast period (2022- 2027).

Key Highlights

• Anti-jamming solutions have become critical for various applications. Unmanned vehicles, automated robotic platforms, time synchronization systems, and various special and military vehicles have endangered the impossibility of receiving GNSS signals. The rapid development of jammers and industrial noise boosted the demand for interference immunity for reliable functioning.
• Wireless networks are crucial in maintaining continuous connectivity and services, as almost all network devices are embedded in environments. Due to their nature, wireless networks are highly susceptible to attacks by any technology, such as jamming. In that regard, anti-jamming has been introduced to improve wireless communication networks' quality.
• Jamming causes various problems, such as hindrance to wireless transmission, denial of service (DOS), insertion of unwanted messages, corrupting of the original message's content, blocking messages with high importance, and interference of radio signals.
• GPS signals are weak and susceptible to interference and intentional jamming. They are usually obscured by thermal noise and only observable with a GPS receiver. For instance, as stated by Novatel, GPS signals can be disrupted even with a small jammer of about 10 watts power for about 30 km (line of sight). GPS anti-jamming devices introduced in such an environment ensure that the GPS receiver continues to operate by using power minimization to reduce the effect of interference and jamming.
• Low spectral efficiency and rigid communication patterns are drawbacks of traditional anti-jamming technologies like sequence-based frequency hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum. Jamming devices are becoming more complex and efficient as software-defined radio develops.
• During COVID-19, various countries were highly affected as the defense sector experienced disruption in the supply chain and manufacturing process due to lockdowns imposed to combat the spread of the virus in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Key Market TrendsIncreased Demand for GPS Technology in Military Applications is Expected to Drive the Market

• The ubiquity of GPS technology and the desire for superior military navigation systems are driving GPS design innovation to reduce size and weight while improving precision.
• The notion of GPS is so simple that it is widely used. Each GPS satellite functions as an exact clock communicating the accurate time at its position. All other GPS satellites' orbital positions are likewise provided by the satellites. The distance to the satellite may be determined once the GPS receiver has the satellite's location and time. A receiver can determine its location on the earth's surface by comparing the times of at least three satellites.
• Armed forces worldwide are investing heavily in new aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Most aircraft use GNSS (GPS) and TACAN positioning and navigation systems. The modernization of the old fleet of aircraft with new and accurate positioning and navigation systems accounted for the majority of the segment's revenue. The US Air Force announced that its fighter aircraft would be equipped with next-generation GPS receivers to improve the quality of navigation and positioning measurements.
• The US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center chose Rockwell Collins to supply its latest-generation Digital GPS Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR) for the F-16 fleet as part of this project. The F-16 fleet will be the first combat fighters to receive the latest version of the receiver, and once that is accomplished, the other aircraft will also be equipped with modern GPS receivers.
• The military is relying on GPS-enabled equipment to perform mission-critical missions efficiently. GPS-enabled gadgets provide tracking and navigation and give precise digital mapping. GPS systems collect data from GPS satellites to determine a device's geographic location.
• GPS systems can be used for various tasks, including target acquisition, search and rescue, command and control, and more. Unmanned vehicles with GPS-enabled gadgets are being developed to conduct highly efficient and precise specialized tasks. These unmanned vehicles can resist perilous circumstances and harmful chemicals in conflict zones.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Witness Significant Growth

• Asia-Pacific is home to some of the growing economies, and it is also a technologically advanced economy. The regional tensions among various nations that boast some of the most significant defense budgets are driving the demand for anti-jamming equipment in the region. China and India lead the region's military spending.
• China is projected to have high growth during the forecast period due to an increase in the number of military attacks in the province. This factor has led to other countries improving their surveillance and other capabilities. The high military or defense expenditure will help China build its boundaries to strengthen anti-jamming equipment capabilities.
• Asia-Pacific was highly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, especially China. It is one of the crucial regions for the future growth of the anti-jamming equipment market, owing to the presence of many developing countries, positive economic outlook, high industrial existence, and favorable government policies. The shutdown of various plants and factories in China affected the global supply chain. It also negatively impacted manufacturing, delivery schedules, consumption, and sales of multiple regional products and services.
• Rising expenditure on the military and defense industry in China also accelerated the region's demand for anti-jamming equipment solutions. Other factors, such as progressive developments to improve the overall GPS infrastructure and a surge in demand for crewless airborne vehicles and systems, may drive the Chinese anti-jamming equipment market.
• Japan is one of the significant economies in the region and globally. The country's defense budget has increased considerably in recent years. In 2022, the country's draft defense budget was JPY 5.4 trillion, or USD 47.2 billion. The rise in the defense budget led the government to expand its defense capabilities while installing more anti-jamming equipment for the country's security.
• Apart from defense, Japan's aviation industry is witnessing significant growth. The industry requires potential jammers to hamper the GNSS signal of the aircraft. The country's aviation industry is the fifth-largest domestic market after China, the United States, India, and Indonesia.
• The growth rate of urbanization and industrialization in South Korea offers growth opportunities to the country's market players. It also experiences high investments in military and civilian infrastructure development.
• In January 2022, South Korea signed a deal with the United Arab Emirates to export midrange surface-to-air missiles, marking its largest-ever arms export deal in history. Earlier, South Korean defense firms involved in the missile's production signed agreements with the UAE-based Tawazun Economic Council. LIG Nex1 will help with system integration, Hanwha Systems will provide a multifunctional radar, and Hanwha Defense will develop the missile's vertical launcher and its ammunition resupply vehicles.

Competitive Landscape

The anti-jamming equipment market is moderately competitive and consists of numerous prominent players. In terms of market share, a few significant players with substantial market share currently dominate the market and focus on increasing their customer base across overseas locations. The companies also leverage strategic collaborative initiatives to capture more market share and improve their profitability.

• November 2021 - Collins Aerospace acquired FlightAware, a digital aviation company that operates flight tracking and data platforms. In October 2020, the company was selected to provide anti-jam technology for combat using human-crewed and unmanned ground vehicles.
• October 2021 - Septentrio NV partnered with ArduSimple. The company integrated its modules into evaluation kits developed by ArduSimple. These new partnerships bring triple-band RTK as a plug-and-play solution for the most popular development platforms like Arduino, STM Nucleo, Raspberry Pi, Ardupilot, and Nvidia Jetson.
