Airborne Counter Measures Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Platform (Military Aircraft, Military Helicopters, and Unmanned Systems), By Application (Jamming, Missile Defense, and Counter Countermeasure), By Product (Self-protection EW Suites, Directed Energy Weapons, Infrared Countermeasures, Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Systems, Missile Approach Warning Systems, Laser Warning Systems, Radar Warning Receivers, and Electronic Counter Countermeasure Systems), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global Airborne Counter Measures Market is undergoing notable growth, with a substantial CAGR expected during the forecast period leading up to 2032. Airborne counter measures are a system designed to protect against airstrikes by detecting infrared-guided heat-seeking missiles and attacking their infrared guidance system. The system helps misdirect the missile and protect the aircraft from missile attack. Air attack technology is evolving as rapidly as defense systems, increasing the demand for airborne counter measure solutions. Man-carryable surface-to-air missiles are becoming a major threat to low-flying aircraft, and to eliminate this threat, the adoption of airborne counter measure systems is increasing.

In the global airborne counter measures market, recent technological advancements and increasing adoption of airborne counter measures systems are driving the market growth. The growing popularity of modern methods of warfare and the growing need for missile detection systems have spurred market growth.

Additionally, the increased acquisition of military UAVs and helicopters to bolster the nation's firepower has prompted the adoption of the IR airborne counter measure system. However, the high initial and maintenance costs can slow the growth of the Airborne counter measures system market. Furthermore, the integration of airborne counter measures with artificial intelligence and machine learning is expected to create market opportunities for the airborne counter measures market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Airborne Counter measure System Market

The impact of COVID-19 was analyzed for three scenarios: realistic, optimistic and pessimistic. The realistic scenario was taken into account for further calculations. Research and development in airborne countermeasures systems is constantly evolving, considering that the current scenario and countries reducing their defense budgets could be a barrier to the growth of this technology. Manufacturing activities faced operational and continuous activities due to import and export regulations. Currently, controlling the COVID-19 pandemic has become an international concern and a critical challenge in many countries.
