Market Overview:

The global air and missile defense radar (AMDR) market size reached USD 14.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 23.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.14% during 2025-2033. The increasing global security concerns, the widespread integration with command-and-control systems, and continual advancements in radar technologies represent some of the key factors driving the market.

The air and missile defense radar (AMDR) are an advanced radar system designed to provide comprehensive surveillance and protection against airborne threats, including aircraft and ballistic missiles. It is a crucial component of modern defense systems, enabling early detection, tracking, and engagement of hostile targets to enhance the effectiveness of air and missile defense operations. It utilizes advanced radar technology, including active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs), to achieve superior performance in terms of range, accuracy, and multi-mission capabilities. It operates by emitting high-frequency radio waves and analyzing the reflections from the targets in its coverage area. It has the ability to detect and track multiple targets simultaneously, including low-flying aircraft and ballistic missiles. This provides an enhanced situational awareness for defense operators, enabling them to make informed decisions and effectively engage incoming threats. Besides, it can be integrated into various platforms, including ground-based systems, naval vessels, and mobile units, providing flexibility and adaptability to different operational environments.

Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing global security concerns.
