"The increasing use of APAR in the military and defense sector is an important driver for the growth of the market"
The main application area for Active Phased Array Radar (APAR) is in the defense industry. Increasing investments in their military sector to upgrade their defense system so they can more effectively defend themselves in wartime, for example, according to the April 2017 fact sheet published by the International Peace Research Institute in Stockholm, spending reached the US $1.686 billion in 2016, an increase of 0.4% from 2015. In radars, APAR implements Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA). An inactive electrically scanned array (AESA) is a type of phased array antenna that would move in all directions when controlled by a computer. AESA is an advanced and sophisticated version of PESA.
Based on geography, the Active Phased Array Radar market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa, Europe had the largest market share in global Active Phased Array (APAR) radar in 2017, an advanced and efficient Radar system used in naval defense. The technology is already being adapted and implemented by the Navy in European countries. APAR has been in service on the four frigates of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) LCF De Zeven Provinciën of the F124 Sachsen class of the German Navy and three frigates of the Ivar Huitfeldt class of the Royal Danish Navy since the end of 2000. APAR is the first marine AESA radar that offers hemispherical coverage of up to 150 km. and the simultaneous support of the advanced SeaSparrow missile (ESSM) and the standard SM2 missile.
