Antijamming Equipment Market

Global Antijamming Equipment Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global GPS antijamming market is predicted to reach USD 5.42 billion in 2024 and USD 7.92 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period.

The high demand for GPS technology in military applications and ongoing innovations to improve the overall GPS infrastructure are two main factors driving the market's growth. Antijamming technology is a form of technology that protects GPS from outside interference and obstructions by amplifying and strengthening the signals. This technology is rapidly evolving and is expected to be widely used commercially in the near future. This technology aids in the reduction of interferences and obstructions, allowing GPS signals to be transmitted and received correctly.

Growing demand from various sectors to minimize GPS jamming to receive proper signals, increasing demand for unnamed airborne vehicles and devices, and increasing demand for low-power antijamming systems from missile manufacturers are all driving the market growth. Miniaturization of GNSS-based antijamming systems, increased dependency on satellite communication for various military operations, increased susceptibility to both unintentional and deliberate interferences, and proliferation of low-cost jammers are among the major factors driving the antijamming market. Moreover, in the forecast era, rising demand for UAVs and systems, as well as the advancement of low-cost GPS antijamming solutions, would generate new opportunities for the antijamming market.

Since GPS signals travel such a long distance back to the GPS receiver, they are highly susceptible to interference as well as deliberate jamming. There's also the possibility that the signal will be obliterated by higher Radio Frequency energy. With the technology allowing army soldiers to have a clear sense of maps and positions of enemies and strategic points, GPS technology has revolutionized military warfare techniques. Military organizations rely on satellite technology for precise positioning, timing, and communication daily. A low-power jammer can thus overwhelm GPS signals over a wide area, denying the enemy access.

One of the primary factors driving antijamming demand in recent years has been the exponential demand for GPS technology in military-based applications. In recent years, incompatibility with legacy GPS receivers has hampered the growth of the antijamming industry. During the forecast era, higher military and defense budgets allocated by the majority of governments around the world are expected to create huge opportunities for antijamming market players.

Global Antijamming Equipment Market Drivers:

Military units around the world are still on the lookout for modern, improved systems to ensure precise navigation using GPS technology. Mayflower Communications, for example, was awarded a USD 56 million contract for a GPS navigation antenna system in October 2020.

The United States military will use the technology, and it is expected to be completed in September 2024. This contract is for the Multi-Platform Anti-Jam Global Positioning System (GPS) Navigation Antenna (MAGNA), which provides GPS protection. Raytheon UK and the UK Ministry of Defense signed a deal in July 2020 to develop advanced GNSS antijamming technologies.

Global Antijamming Equipment Market Restraints:

Old GPS receivers are incompatible with new, more efficient GPS antijamming techniques, such as beam-forming technologies. Based on the path of jamming signals, the beamformer detects, selects, and downlinks signals from four satellites and offers four antijam solutions in the form of algorithms.

It cannot communicate with a regular GPS receiver that only has one input because it generates four outputs aimed at four selected satellites from the GPS receiver. This is one of the market restraints for GPS antijamming devices.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global antijamming equipment market:

COVID-19 is a deadly disease that disrupted many lives. Every sector faced challenges during the pandemic. The antijam market was also negatively impacted by COVID-19. All the industries were shut down in the first half of 2020, which declined the market's growth rate. By 2021, it is expected that the market will have substantial growth opportunities.
