You need to be aware of a few things when looking at ground surveillance radars. These factors include the market size, cost, false alert rates, as well as market size. Below is a brief overview of the global market for ground-surveillance radars. Continue reading to find out more about ground surveillance radars and their respective prices.
Cost of ground surveillance radars
Ground surveillance radars are used in air and maritime security operations. These radars are highly accurate in tracking targets but they can only be used when the target is obscured or blocked by an obscurant. These radars detect targets' movements within an area defined and raise alarms when targets move into an alarm zone. They can also send data to other systems. ExtensibleMarkup Language and useful Target Data Rate are two common interface systems.
The financial incentives provided worldwide by governments drive the ground surveillance RADAR marketplace. However, the recent COVID-19 outbreak has weakened these incentives and has impacted the global market. This has resulted in a constrained supply chain for ground surveillance RADARs and likely that ongoing projects will be delayed.
Ground surveillance radars can falsely alarm at high alarm rates
Ground surveillance radars receive spurious signals from ground surveillance radars. False alarm rate is the radar's ability to detect these signals even though they are not present. These false alarms can be generated either by the radar receiver or external signals. These false alarms might manifest in the form a momentary flash on a CRT monitor, an audio signal, and/or a digital signal processor. Adjusting the threshold to detect signals of different types can reduce false alarm rates.
Ground surveillance radar scanners' false alarm rates can be a crucial element in evaluating their effectiveness. This research investigated the relationship between false alarm rates and detection probabilities for a vital-sign-detecting radar sensor system. For example, when the sensor was placed at a distance of less than 50 cm, the false alarm probability was very high. This is due to the fact that the phase noise at such a short distance is very high, especially when radar is located near a person's body.
Market size of ground surveillance radars
Ground surveillance radars are an essential component of air traffic control systems. These radars are used to identify targets at far distances. The market is classified into short-range radars, medium-range and long-range systems. While short-range radars have civilian applications, long-range systems are used to detect targets at distances exceeding thousands of kilometers.
Ground surveillance radars are available in short-range, medium and long-range segments. It is further subdivided to civil and military ground surveillance radio systems. According to region, the market is divided into North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific as well as Middle East & Africa. The market is dominated by Thales Group and FLIR Systems, Honeywell and Kelvin Hughes.
Market growth is being driven by a growing demand for radars for military applications. This market growth is driven by safety concerns and higher defense budgets. Over the forecast period, market growth will be driven by the development of new aircraft. Ground surveillance radars are essential due to increased threats from terrorist attacks, inter-country conflicts, and border infiltrations.
