The Radiation-Hardened Electronics Market is valued at USD 1.81 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.18 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 3.87% during the forecast period.
Radiation-hardened electronics are used for Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, as they are built to survive extreme radiation exposures. The rise in demand for security measures such as monitoring, information collection, and border control is going to fuel the demand for rder control is driving the need for these specialized electronics. In high radiation environments, proper power management is crucial for radiation-hardened materials, as any electronic damage can pose safety hazards. Thus, reliable radiation-hardened power management systems are essential in such facilities.
The radiation-hardened electronics market showcases fragmentation with major players like Honeywell International Inc., BAE Systems PLC, Texas Instruments, Data Device Corporation, and Frontgrade Technologies. These entities employ strategies such as partnerships and acquisitions to fortify their product portfolios and establish enduring competitive edges.
In August 2023, Frontgrade Technologies finalized its acquisition of Aethercomm, a company specializing in high-power radio frequency (RF) solid-state power amplifiers, transmit/receive modules, and high-power RF switches. This acquisition positions Frontgrade Technologies to offer a comprehensive, integrated, and turnkey solution tailored for aerospace and defense clientele.
Another notable collaboration occurred in February 2023 between Texas Instruments and Teledyne e2v, focusing on a novel radiation-tolerant DDR4 modular platform. This initiative aims to assist satellite OEMs in optimizing their system development process by reducing time and engineering efforts. The hardware comprises a field-proven 4GB/8GB capacity DDR4T0xG72 DDR4 memory module from Teledyne e2v, complemented by a TI TPS7H3301-SP DDR termination low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator, ensuring a stable supply for the DDR4 module.
