According to the most recent Defence Electronics Market Intelligence Report, the military electronics industry is expected to grow, particularly in the most developed nations where there is a greater production capacity for tires, robust automotive sales, and relatively less stringent regulations to support the development of Defense Electronic.
Consider some of the most significant electronic applications in the military sector:
Electromagnetic Signatures are electromagnetic signals generated by electronic-based systems, such as interferences, noise, arcing, corona, partial discharge, gap discharge, sparking or micro sparking, or any combination. It is possible to obtain significant information from their electrical activity. This is why the electromagnetic signature of a (military) platform is so important, particularly in terms of its ability to remain undetected and unaffected. Signatures are, therefore, crucial for detection, classification, and identification by adversary sensor systems, as well as for the probability of a hit during a prospective engagement phase. Electronic military devices must be able to maintain these signatures below acceptable levels.
Since the 1930s, electronic radar warfare (REW) has been utilized in military operations. Radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) EW enables the detection of an object within a certain radius by sending out a signal that is reflected back by the object; the distance is determined by the time it takes for the echo (return signal) to arrive—commonly employed by armies, navies, and air forces to identify, deny, protect against, and exploit the enemy's radar systems. In recent decades, significant advancements have occurred due to the possibility of obtaining information superiority over an adversary with such radar systems. Recent advancements have enhanced the effectiveness of detecting, identifying, and even classifying enemies and their radar systems.
Communications Electronic Warfare (CEW) refers to all wireless communication technologies, ranging from civil applications such as 4th generation network technologies (such as LTE-Advanced) to military datalinks, WiFi, etc. Examples of applications include radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (RC-IEDs), GPS by adversaries, and the operation of unmanned vehicles (UxVs).
