MILITARY RADAR 2020

FY20 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS, PRIORITIES &
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Since the integration of radar technology into the military environment in the 1930s, it has long since served as a tool to better
detect and provide greater situational awareness. Leaders across the Services, Federal Government and academia have
worked tirelessly to improve and develop small target detection, sensor fusion, cognitive radar, SWAP-C, autonomous assets,
survivability and resiliency that enable operational mission success. Advancing radar technology across the military is critical,
perhaps now more than ever, due to the emergence of new global challenges such as the proliferation of UAVs/small drones
and the looming threat of hypersonic weapons.

It should be no surprise then that, according to Worldwide Military Sensors Market Forecasts, the military sensors market is
projected to grow from $24.7 billion in 2019 to $33.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.1% between 2019 and 2025. In FY20, the
U.S. DoD alone will invest billions in procuring & developing the next generation of radar systems to fortify threat protection
capabilities and boost mission lethality. Read on to learn more.
