Increasing Demand for Automate Radar Systems Globally Drive X-Band Radar Market Growth

Published: Jun 2024

Global X-band radar market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The increasing territorial disputes, electronic and network-centric warfare, and legacy system replacements that automate radar systems have driven the demand for the X-band radar market. According to the Cellular Telephone Industries Association (CITA), in August 2023, the global communications industry aligned on the lower portion of the 3 GHz band—3300-3450 MHz—as a core 5G workhorse, providing the capacity needed to connect the industries of the future.  Nearly 20 countries have deployed in the lower 3 GHz band throughout Asia, with several demonstrating successful coexistence between 5G and US military radar systems. Key players of 5G operating alongside the US military radars include Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

The growing use of X-band radars in government, military, and naval installations for weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control, defense tracking, and speed detection of vehicles for law enforcement has driven the demand for these devices. Radars in the X-band operate between 8 and 12 GHz. X-band radars are more sensitive and able to detect tiny particles than other radar bands as they operate at a smaller wavelength. As X-band radars can detect small water particles and snow, they are commonly utilized for investigations about cloud formation and light precipitation.

Recent Development

  • In April 2024, Wärtsilä ANCS introduced NACOS Platinum Solid State X-Band Radar, a new radar system engineered to redefine safety and reliability standards in marine navigation. Designed with the latest solid-state transceiver technology, the system features a compact housing and gearbox, eliminating the need for traditional magnetrons.
  • In April 2024, Saab Sea Giraffe 1X multi-modal radar at sea-air-space. The SG1X (SG1X) is a tactical X-band active electronically scanned array (AESA) solid-state radar. The SG1X on display will be in the highly mobile and flexible “Deployment Set” configuration that is adaptable to almost any naval, surface, or ground platform.
  • In December 2021, MDA Ltd. and ICEYE announced at the World Satellite Business Week event that they have entered into an agreement for ICEYE to supply an X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) spacecraft for CHORUS, MDA’s next-generation commercial Earth observation mission. A collaborative multi-sensor constellation, CHORUS brings together diverse and unique imagery and data sources.
