The Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) market was valued at USD 613.9 Million in 2016, and is projected to reach USD 1,222.2 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 12.16% from 2016 to 2022. Advancements in military technology have led to the development of superior air defense systems. These systems have posed a serious challenge for airborne units operating in enemy airspace leading to severe damage, attrition of units, and loss of personnel. Electronic warfare technologies are focused on reducing the instances of detection by enemy radars and providing the necessary time to evade them.
DRFM-based electronic warfare systems are installed in various defense platforms, such as ground-based military units, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and navy ships. The growth of the airborne electronic warfare systems and the upgrade of older air platforms are significant factors driving the demand for DRFM-based jammers. Other applications of DRFM-based jammers include Radar Environment Simulation (RES) testing. The RES testing procedure involves evaluation of radar systems in an anechoic environment during their designing phase. The shortcomings of radar systems are eliminated by incorporating design changes during radar development.
Based on platform, the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) market has been segmented into commercial & civil and defense. The defense segment includes air, naval, land, and unmanned platforms. Naval DRFM systems are mostly used for Electronic Support Measures (ESM). Prominent players involved in the manufacturing of naval DRFM systems provide a wide range of Naval Laser Warning (NLW) systems, and ESM and ELINT systems for submarine and surface vessels. These naval DRFM systems provide capabilities for early detection, analysis, threat warning, and protection from Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs).
On the basis of application, the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) market has been segmented into electronic warfare, radar test & evaluation, electronic warfare testing, and radio & cellular network jamming, among others. The electronic warfare segment is the largest application segment of the DRFM market. The electronic warfare systems are installed at both, air and naval platforms. Electronic warfare uses control over electromagnetic spectrum to disrupt enemy electronic systems. The use of DRFM systems in jammers has improved the capability of electronic warfare technologies. The DRFM systems encompass the ability to store and modify signals, before transmitting them to the enemy radar. These systems use various deception techniques such as multiple false target generation, range gate pull-off, and velocity gate pull-off, among others, to deceive the enemy radar. DRFM-based systems are also used for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Communications Intelligence (COMINT) missions to capture the electromagnetic signatures of enemy aircraft, ships, and other units. These electromagnetic signatures provide intelligence about the capabilities of enemy ships and types of electronic systems in operation.
On the basis of architecture, the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) market has been segmented into processor, modulator, converter, memory, and others. The memory stores the digital waveform of the incoming radar signal. DRFM processes this signal to be sent back to the target radar for deception jamming. Based on architecture, the processor segment accounted for the largest share of the DRFM market in 2016.
North America accounted for the largest share of the DRFM market in 2016. The defense forces in North America are increasingly investing in the development of technologically advanced DRFM systems. Northrop Grumman Corporation (U.S.) and BAE Systems plc (U.K.) are among the well-established and prominent DRFM manufacturers in this region.
Reduction in defense expenditure in developed nations and ban on the usage of jammers for civilian application are some of the key factors restraining the growth of the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) market during the forecast period.
Major players operating in the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) market include Airbus Group (France), Northrop Grumman Corporation (U.S.), Thales Group (France), Raytheon Company (U.S.), and BAE Systems plc (U.K.), among others.
