The High Power Microwave Directed Energy Weapons Market is likely to experience a significant growth rate of 15.1% from 2023-2032 owing to increase in demand for directed energy weapons to achieve precise targeting and reduced collateral damage, rise in security threats posed by terrorist organizations, and surge in the defense budget -

High-power microwave (HPM) weapons, also referred to as radio frequency weapons, belong to the category of directed energy weapons designed to incapacitate enemy electronic equipment. A microwave weapon is a form of directed energy system in which a potent, high-intensity microwave beam is focused on a target, causing the target's electronic circuitry to burn out, rendering it nonfunctional. There are two main types of HPM weapons: continuous-wave HPMs and pulsed-wave HPMs. Continuous-wave HPMs emit a consistent flow of microwave energy over a broad area, suitable for area denial operations against small electronic devices. On the other hand, pulsed-wave HPMs deliver high-powered, short-duration pulses of microwave energy, offering precise targeting capabilities. Pulsed wave HPM weapons are designed to engage specific targets with the objective of either destroying or impairing their electrical components. There is a rise in research activities for the development of high power microwave weapons with increased precision in targeting and controlling HPM beams. In addition, defense companies invest in research of directed energy weapon technology to enhance the discriminative capabilities of HPM systems, involving advancements in sensing, targeting algorithms, and signal processing.

Key factors driving the growth of the high power microwave directed energy weapons market are increase in demand for directed energy weapons to achieve precise targeting and reduced collateral damage, rise in security threats posed by terrorist organizations, and surge in the defense budget. The growth of the high power microwave directed energy weapons market can be attributed to technological advancements and continuous research, and integration of directed energy weapons with conventional weapons.

Airborne as a platform refers to installation of high power microwave systems on airborne platforms, such as aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Airborne platforms include the incorporation of HPM weapons onto various types of aircraft such as fighter jets, bombers, surveillance planes, and UAVs. These platforms serve as carriers for HPM systems, enabling them to operate in the airspace. The evolving landscape of warfare includes emerging threats, such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or drones. As these threats become more sophisticated, defense companies strive to develop advanced airborne directed energy weapon technologies to counter them effectively. For instance, Lockheed Martin developed a critical Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) capability known as Mobile Radio Frequency-Integrated UAS Suppressor (MORFIUS). MORFIUS is equipped with a high-power microwave effector, which emits powerful microwave pulses to disable or disrupt drones.

Moreover, in July 2023, Defense Department's Joint Counter-small UAS Office (JCO) conducted tests on the MORFIUS to evaluate its effectiveness as a Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) capability. The evaluation focused on various aspects, including its detection and tracking capabilities. Such developments and tests contribute to the global adoption of high-power microwave technologies, which is expected to propel the growth of the market. The Naval platform includes utilizing maritime vessels as the primary deployment platform for these high power microwave directed energy weapons. High Power Microwave (HPM) weapons can be mounted on diverse naval vessels, such as warships, cruisers, and other maritime platforms. These installations offer a flexible and mobile framework for deploying HPM weapons effectively at sea.

High Power Microwave (HPM) systems deployed on naval platforms play a vital role in area denial and force protection by effectively engaging and disrupting electronic systems that pose potential threats at sea. This proactive defense mechanism includes countering adversarial drones, thwarting electronic attacks, and addressing various naval threats. Moreover, the navy collaborates with other military forces and agencies to achieve various strategic objectives and enhance overall defense capabilities with the development of directed energy weapons.For instance, in July 2022, the U.S. Navy and Air Force announced the development of a new microwave weapon known as the High-Powered Joint Electromagnetic Non-Kinetic Strike Weapon, or HiJENKS. The weapon is designed to disrupt or destroy enemy electronics by unleashing a powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The aim of the forces is to penetrate enemy territory and incapacitate electronic systems critical to their military operations. In addition, the rise in the integration of HPM systems with advanced naval technologies, such as radar systems, sensors, and communication networks, contributes to enhancing their overall effectiveness in maritime defense strategies driving the growth of the market.

Ground based platforms include high power microwave (HPM) weapons that use land as a stationary or mobile base for deploying HPM systems. The high-power microwave systems can be integrated into fixed installations or mobile land platforms such as vehicles. HPM systems are placed on immobile structures on land, including military bases, crucial infrastructure, or strategic points. These installations offer a steady foundation for HPM weapons, enabling them to engage and interfere with electronic systems across a defined geographic expanse. Moreover, HPM weapons can be installed into land-based vehicles, delivering both mobility and adaptability in deployment. These movable platforms can be strategically stationed to swiftly address evolving threats or contribute to military operations in various locations. For instance, in 2020, the U.S.-based technology company Epirus launched a ground-based microwave weapon called Leonidas system. A third-generation variant of the platform was introduced in April 2022. Leonidas is equipped to disable a single target in crowded spaces or multiple targets across a broader area, including military bases, borders, or critical infrastructure sites. Therefore, the rise in the development of ground-based high power microwave directed energy weapons to address a range of electronic warfare challenges and threats is expected to drive the growth of the market.

The high power microwave directed energy weapons market is segmented into type, platform, end-user, and region. On the basis of type, the market is categorized into pulsed-wave high power microwave, and continuous-wave high power microwave. On the basis of platform, it is categorized into airborne, naval, and ground-based. On the basis of end-user, it is divided into army, navy, and airforce.
