UAV Radar Industry

UAV Radar Industry worth $990.2 million by 2031

The report "UAV Radar Market by Scanning (Electronically Scanned Array, Mechanically Scanned, Hybrid Mechanical-Electronic Scanning, Fixed Aperture/Non-Scanning), Onboard Radar, Offboard Radar, Frequency Band, UAV Class, End User and Region – Global Forecast to 2031", The UAV radar market is projected to grow from USD 360.7 million in 2026 to USD 990.2 million by 2031 at a CAGR of 22.4%. As the military, border security organizations, airports, and critical infrastructure operators increase their use of radar for ongoing surveillance and counter-UAS missions, the industry is about to enter a more robust procurement cycle. UAV manufacturers are concurrently integrating compact radar payloads for SAR/GMTI, maritime surveillance, detect-and-avoid, navigation, and mission-safety tasks. Radar deployment is becoming feasible across a broader range of unmanned systems due to the move toward smaller, software-defined, electronically scanned architectures.

Low-SWaP sensors, rapid beam steering, higher target-update rates, automatic categorization, and tighter integration with EO/IR, RF, and command-and-control systems are increasingly important in technology development. These advances are expanding the all-weather intelligence and autonomous capabilities of onboard UAV payloads while also enhancing radar utility against low-altitude and low-observable drones.

By scanning type, electronically scanned array radar is positioned for strong expansion during the forecast period.

Electronically scanned array radar is expected to remain at the top of the scanning category as both airborne payload suppliers and counter-UAS radar manufacturers focus on small, fast-steering designs. AESA, MIMO, metamaterial, and other controlled designs can offer quick track refresh, track multiple targets, provide flexible waveform management, and support software-controlled mission modes without relying solely on moving parts. Their increasing use in SAR/GMTI, detect-and-avoid, surveillance, and drone-detection systems is expected to keep the segment growing until 2031.

By end user, defense is projected to remain the dominant demand segment during the forecast timeframe.

Defense organizations are expected to account for the largest share of UAV radar demand as they expand counter-drone coverage and add more radar systems to ISR, maritime, tactical, MALE, and combat-focused unmanned aircraft. Military buyers are also focusing on radars that can continue tracking, identify targets, guide other systems, and support layered air-defense operations. This is creating opportunities in both new installations and upgrades.

Growth opportunities are expected to increase in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period.

Nations in the region are increasing their investments in unmanned surveillance, air defense modernization, border monitoring, marine security, and counter-UAS capacity. Asia Pacific is emerging as one of the most appealing UAV radar markets. Domestic UAV programs and sensor integration activity are growing in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and other regional markets. It is anticipated that both onboard and offboard radar systems will continue to be in demand due to procurement, local production, and growing concern over small-drone threats.

The major participants in the UAV radar market include RTX (US), Leonardo S.p.A (Italy), Saab AB (Sweden), HENSOLDT AG (Germany), and Israel Aerospace Industries (Israel). The competitive landscape comprises diversified defense-electronics groups as well as specialist radar suppliers with focused UAV and counter-UAS product portfolios.
