Key Highlights

Despite budget cuts, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the total global expenditure on military radar systems with a 43% share in the forecast period. High demand in the region is primarily driven by the country’s major missile defense programs, upgrade of aircraft technologies and fresh investment in space based radar technology

A number of countries worldwide are investing heavily on UAVs in order to procure more and more situational awareness information. These UAVs are primarily dependent upon their radars for navigation as well for colecting ground information. Also, countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Chile are establishing wide area radar networks in order to monitor their borders and forrested areas

Foreign OEMs seeking to enter a specific radar market often enter into marketing agreements with domestic companies to gain an opportunity to market their products in a specific region. For example, in 2011, Lockheed Martin of the US and Brazil's Atmos Sistems teamed up to accomplish the Brazilian Air Force's Three-Dimensional Long-Range Radar procurement project.
