DRFMs Report OEMs and Markets

The principal aim of this report is to provide detailed data on the markets for digital radio frequency memories (DRFMs). Year 2024 is the base year and forecast market values (US$ and sales volumes) are reported on an annual basis up to year 2030.

Toward this aim the report is organized into the following five parts:

Section 1 The “North Atlantic” Scenario
Section 2 Electronic Warfare (EW), Military Radars, DRFM Technology & Supply Chain
Section 3 Major Tier 1 Corporate Players: Europe, Israel & the USA
Section 4 Total Addressable Markets (TAMs) and Volume Sales

Section 1 provides an overview of some current conflicts: including the Middle East and the Ukraine. Financial contributions toward NATO are cited for each out of a selection of NATO member countries (2023) and for what we are terming “New NATO” (circa year 2030). Overall expenditures on EW and radars are presented.

Section 2 includes detailed descriptions of EW technology (including jammers), description of DRFM, military radars (AESA and “non-AESA"). The Supply Chain is is also presented and discussed. Everything in Section 2 is required to support material presented in subsequent sections of this report.

Section 3 provides company profiles and commentaries on a selection of (mainly) 17 major Tier 1 corporations variously headquartered in Europe, Israel and the USA. This is a very important part of the report because of the impact of these corporations have on sales of EW systems and DRFMs. Details are provided regarding each corporations presence in European and other “Free-World” countries.

Section 4 is the most important part of the report because this section provides all the quantitative forecasts of total available markets (TAMs, US$M) and volume sales.

Data are presented on a global basis (Free-World), by region (USA, Europe, Middle East and the “Rest of the Free World”. Additionally data are also provide for a selection of European countries. In all instances the methodologies are described.
