War in Ukraine and Middle East Reignites Focus on Ground-Based Air Defence Systems

October 01, 2024

-

The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have thrust Ground-Based Air Defence (GBAD) systems back into the global spotlight. These defensive shields are proving crucial in countering the growing threat posed by drones, cruise missiles, and other airborne weapons. GBAD systems are systems that are designed to protect the ground forces and assets from aerial threats such as manned aircraft, drones, and missiles. The landscape of GBAD systems is rapidly evolving, driven by technological advancements, emerging threats, and geopolitical shifts. GBAD systems are increasingly being integrated into Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C2I) networks, enabling real-time data sharing, coordinated engagement, and improved situational awareness across different defence assets. Data from multiple sensors like radars, electro-optical trackers, and acoustic locators are being fused to provide a more comprehensive picture of the airspace and enhance target identification and tracking.

There is a growing demand for GBAD systems that can counter the emerging and diverse threats posed by drones, especially in urban and asymmetric warfare scenarios. Developments in rocket propulsion, guidance systems, and warheads are leading to more effective and versatile missiles for GBAD systems.

To understand the evolving landscape of GBAD technology and market trends, Amsterdam-based Market Forecast has released its latest in-depth study: "Ground Based Air Defence Systems - Market and Technology Forecast to 2032." This comprehensive report offers a detailed examination of the Impact of Recent Conflicts, Missile Technology Evolution, Market Outlay Predictions, and  a geographical market analysis.

The US, with its substantial defence budget, prioritizes cutting-edge technologies and a comprehensive approach to air defence. In contrast,  European nations  emphasize interoperability, affordability, and collaboration through joint programs and standardized systems. The GBAD market is poised for significant growth in the coming years. By understanding the evolving trends and capitalizing on the identified opportunities, companies can develop and deliver next-generation GBAD solutions that meet the increasingly complex air defence challenges of the future.
