The advent of stealth technology and the invasion of Ukraine, as well as the march towards the multidomain battlefield, has called for several radar and c2 modernisation programmes. The Military Radar market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1%, Chiefly driven by US efforts and the UK Air Defence Recapitalisation programmes. This report covers programmes from:

• Australia
• Canada
• France
• Germany
• Saudi Arabia
• South Korea
• United Kingdom
• United States
  

The global threat landscape is changing. In between the proliferation of UAVs/small drones and the looming threat of hypersonic weapons, advancing radar technology across the military is critical, perhaps now more than ever.

Ahead of the upcoming Military Radar Summit this January, we took a look at the DoD’s FY20 budget to identify where the services are investing when it comes to advancing small target detection, sensor fusion, cognitive radar, SWAP-C, autonomous assets, survivability and resiliency to enable improved mission success. DOWNLOAD our latest Budget Highlights infographic to see what we found out. 

What you’ll learn:

• 2020 investment priorities & budget breakdown for the MDA, Army, Navy, Marines & more!
• The latest military radar acquisitions & contracts
• An overview of the key projects that will define the DoD’s military radar strategies now and for years to come

Ahead of the summit, we took an in-depth look at the latest radar technologies that are worth roughly $1.73 billion. Download this report to learn about the latest technological developments and for a breakdown of the $1.73 billion in funding.

Highlighted technologies include:

• Sensor Fusion
• Open Architectures
• Wide-band Millimeter Wave
  
• Moving Target Indication
• Ground Penetrating Systems
• Next-Generation Over the Horizon Radars
• Cognitive Radar
• Tracking and Classifying Long-range Ballistic & Hyper-sonic Missiles in Flight
  

As radar continues to be the largest area of growth for military electronics, we created an in-depth breakdown of how the FY19 Department of Defense budget will impact military radar initiatives.The 2019 DoD budget calls for 57 radar line items totaling about $3.70 billion.

Principles of Modern Radar: Advanced Techniques is a professional reference for practicing engineers, including Joseph R. Guerci that provides a stepping stone to advanced practice with in-depth discussions of the most commonly used advanced techniques for radar design. It will also serve advanced radar academic and training courses with a complete set of problems for students as well as solutions for instructors.
