Competitive Landscape: Key Market Leaders and New Entrants in the Counter-IED Market

The counter-IED market is steadily advancing as defense technologies evolve to address emerging threats. With new challenges arising from drone-enabled explosives and urban combat scenarios, this sector is set to see measured growth and innovation in the coming years. Below, we explore the market's projected size, key drivers, important players, and fresh trends shaping its future.

Projected Market Size and Growth Expectations in the Counter-IED Sector
The counter-IED market is forecasted to expand steadily, reaching a value of $1.59 billion by 2030. This growth corresponds to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.2% during the forecast period. Several factors contribute to this trajectory, including heightened demand for counter-UAS RF shield systems designed to combat drone-assisted IED threats. The industry is also benefiting from increased focus on autonomous and semi-autonomous counter-IED platforms, which enhance operational effectiveness. Additional drivers include substantial investments in advanced electronic warfare technologies that improve IED disruption capabilities and the rising need for compact, mobile counter-IED solutions prompted by urban warfare preparedness. Moreover, sustained increases in defense budgets support long-term procurement of next-generation counter-IED equipment. Notable trends expected to influence the landscape include greater use of vehicle-mounted IED detection systems, integration of counter-UAS RF shielding, development of remotely operated towed vehicles, expanded homeland security deployment initiatives, and upgrades in airborne and handheld detection devices.

Key Factors Fueling Demand for Counter-IED Technologies
One primary force behind the market's expansion is the growing threat posed by drones used to deploy improvised explosive devices, which has boosted investments in counter-UAS RF shield systems. These systems are vital for neutralizing airborne threats and enhancing situational awareness in complex operational environments.
Another significant driver is the shift toward autonomous and semi-autonomous platforms that improve the speed and precision of IED detection and neutralization. By leveraging advanced robotics and AI technologies, these solutions minimize risks to personnel and increase mission success rates, especially in high-risk urban and combat zones.

Leading Players Shaping the Counter-IED Industry Landscape
The counter-IED market is dominated by a range of established defense contractors and technology firms, including Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Thales Group, L3Harris Technologies Inc., Leonardo SpA, BAE Systems Land & Armaments Inc., Oshkosh Defense LLC, Rheinmetall AG, Elbit Systems Inc., Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Saab AB, Sierra Nevada Corporation, QinetiQ Group plc, and several others.
A notable recent development occurred in September 2024, when BAE Systems plc, a UK-based defense and aerospace company, acquired Kirintec Ltd. This strategic move aims to bolster BAE's electronic warfare and force protection capabilities by incorporating Kirintec's expertise in cyber and electromagnetic activities (CEMA), including counter-IED and counter-UAS technologies. The acquisition will accelerate product innovation, expand the deployment of proven CEMA solutions across platforms, enhance protection for military personnel and assets, and deliver integrated multi-domain defense offerings to customers in the UK and allied nations. Kirintec Ltd is recognized for its focus on safeguarding military systems from cyber and electromagnetic threats.

Emerging Innovations and Trends in Counter-IED Solutions
The market is witnessing a surge in innovative devices such as the C-Guard Microsystems, which exemplify the growing shift toward compact, portable counter-IED tools. These manpack devices-small enough to be carried by individual soldiers or security personnel-are designed to detect and neutralize explosive threats effectively.
For example, in November 2023, Israel-based Netline Communications Technologies Ltd. unveiled the 'C-Guard Modular Manpack,' an electronic warfare system aimed at combating challenges posed by both IEDs and hostile drones. This lightweight and portable Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) unit provides broad-spectrum jamming capabilities, making it ideal for military and law enforcement operations focused on anti-terrorism and rapid threat mitigation.
