Increasing aerial threat perceptions have prompted defense forces around the world to strengthen their air defense capabilities with airborne electronic warfare (EW) systems.
As budget constraints force governments to delay major new procurement programs, upgrades of current EW systems will be the larger revenue stream till 2018.
Once budget constraints are eased, the fresh procurements/fleet replacements will feature new combat air platforms with advanced EW systems.
EW vendors that can provide reduced hardware size, extensive threat identity database, and wider coverage are best poised for success.
Frost & Sullivan Defence Senior Research Analyst Arun Kumar Sampathkumar, said, "The NATO is driving EU nations to pool resources and increase their respective contributions to joint operations. This will result in slow yet steady upgrade opportunities as forces make efforts to achieve the common architectures stipulated by the respective NATO doctrines."
EW upgrade programs will involve more EW hardware sales than new procurement programs over the next 5 years, overall, worldwide.
The forward-fitted EW systems will rise in profile, as new procurement deliveries converge from 2017.
