Digital Radar Market Treds & Dynamics
Drivers: Rising demand of digital radar for enhanced weather detection and monitoring
Weather detection and monitoring demands accurate atmospheric condition data in present, including the fact of precipitation happening, the power of storms themselves, and the system for traveling of meteorological phenomena. It has been estimated that on daily basis National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US) transmits approximately 5.4 gigabytes while uploading 15.9 gigabytes from other countries world-wide. Digital radar is significant since it offers precise and timely feedback because of having advanced sensing abilities to help in different fields.
Restraint: High development cost
The R&D and manufacturing of digital radar system is very expensive. Various stakeholder investments are needed in the value chain stages among them are R&D, manufacturing, system integration, and assembly. These radar security systems target short range, medium range, and long range. An operational frequency band is chosen according to one which is appropriate for any application range. Digital radar systems cost a lot to develop because they require high technology and specialized parts like strong signal processors, complex data interpretation algorithms and high-frequency transceivers.
Opportunity: Growth of unmanned aerial vehicles
For both military and civilian devices, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have become a routine application. China, Russia, and Israel are developing drones and other UAV types which they use for intelligence collection, surveillance missions and reconnaissance purposes. Combat UAVs, such as the Predator and the Heron, have been developed by the US and Israel, respectively. UAVs have witnessed tremendous demand in the last few years owing to their cost-efficient and low-risk operations. Digital radars provide precise object detection, tracking, and collision avoidance capabilities. These capabilities are essential for enabling UAVs to navigate complex environments autonomously and avoid obstacles such as other aircraft, terrain, and buildings
Challenge: Electromagnetic jamming and interface issue
Jamming radar signals using electro magnetic energy is a big issue for the market. It is a form of war increasingly used when one party emits high frequency signals aimed at interfering with visual signals from radars. New jamming employs high energy signals to overrun the radar receiver thus decreasing its performance capability. Its primary goal is to reduce the efficiency of electronic radars, including false target generation and noise jamming. In July 2023, the US Air Force gave Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) USD 4.8 million contract for identifying and responding to hostile radar signals that could threaten US military airplane safety.

Market Definition
A digital radar is a radar system that uses digital technology to process and analyze the signals it receives. Instead of relying on analog circuits, digital radar converts the analog signals into digital data using analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This digital data is then processed by digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, which improve the accuracy, resolution, and reliability of the radar's measurements. Digital radars are capable of more precise detection and tracking of objects, better noise reduction, and enhanced performance in various environmental conditions compared to traditional analog radars.
