Stealth Warfare Industry Manufacturers Manufacturers Analysis, Scope, Trends And Forecast Up To 2023
Global Stealth Warfare Market. The Stealth Warfare Market Is Estimated To Witness A CAGR Of More Than 8% During The Forecast Period From 2018 To 2023.
Market Highlights
Stealth technology is a broadly used concept in military warfare. Stealth technology operates on the principle of reflection and absorption of the radar signals. The stealth warfare market is segmented on the basis of platform, equipment, and material.
In the stealth warfare market, the platform segment is further sub-segmented as airborne and naval. In airborne sub-segment the stealth warfare technology is used to make aircraft invisible to enemy’s radar systems. This is done in two different ways, first is that the aircraft can be shaped so that any radar signal it reflects are reflected away from the enemy’s radar equipment, whereas, second way is that the aircraft can be covered with materials that can absorb radar signals. Though, the advanced radar systems pose a major threat, as they can detect the stealth aircraft.
Similarly, the stealth warfare market has been segmented as the material, this segment has been further sub-segmented as non-metallic airframe and radar-absorbent material (RAM). Non-metallic airframe usage in aircraft is helpful to absorb radar signals. In case of RAM, generally, paints are used on the metal surface and edge of the aircraft or ships. The material and thickness of RAM coatings can differ according to its application. Currently, a commonly used material is iron ball paint, which contains tiny iron particles that resonate in tune with incoming radio waves and dissipate the majority of their energy as heat, leaving little energy to bounce back to detectors. Moreover, due to the developments in the field of metallurgy, the material segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

On the basis of equipment, the stealth warfare market is segmented by radar, Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system, and acoustic signature. The radars segment has been further sub-segmented as radar-absorbent plastics, carbon-based materials, and ceramics. The combination of these materials has been developed for use in stealth warfare. Moreover, the combination of such materials with radar-absorbing surface geometry enhances their stealth. Similarly, sensors such as an acoustic signature, Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system are the primary means of detection and tracking. However, it was observed that acoustic sensors provide only rough indications regarding the elevation of an aircraft without providing the range or any other parameter, whereas, the IR sensors are effective in determining elevation more accurately. These IR sensors, however, get severely affected by weather, and are required to be coupled with radar for range determination. Hence, these sensors have a widespread application despite the limitation of variable atmospheric conditions affecting their performance.
