The global infrared search and track (IRST) system market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, from 2021 to 2030. The IRST system is an advanced sensor that can detect and track objects in the air or on the ground by using infrared radiation. It provides a 360-degree field of view, which makes it suitable for detecting stealth aircrafts. The IRST system has been used in military aircrafts such as Su-30MKI, Rafale, F-15K Slam Eagle, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and Eurofighter Typhoon. In addition to military applications, IRST systems are also being used in civil aviation for collision avoidance purposes.
The global IRST system market is segmented into scanning head type (active or passive), processing and control electronics type (monolithic or modular), display type (monochrome or color) and application type (aerospace & defense or civil). Based on application type, the aerospace & defense segment accounted for more than 50% share of the total revenue generated by this market in 2017 owing to its wide usage across various military platforms such as fighter jets and helicopters. The civil segment accounted for less than 10% share of total revenue generated by this market owing to its limited use in commercial aviation only due to high cost associated with installation process.
North America was one of the leading regions accounting for more than 40% share of total revenue generated by this market owing to increased adoption rates among various militaries across North America region including US Army Aviation Corps’ AH-64 Apache attack helicopter fleet which uses an active scanning head IRST system manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corporation; US Navy’s Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft fleet which uses a passive scanning head IRST manufactured by Raytheon Company; US Air Force’s Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet fleet which uses an active scanning head IRST manufactured by Northrop Grumman Corporation; etc,.
Some Of The Growth Factors Of This Market:
- The IRST system is a passive sensor that detects infrared radiation from the target and then calculates its position, speed, and direction.
- The IRST system is an active sensor that detects infrared radiation from the target and then calculates its position, speed, and direction.
- The IRST system can be used to detect stealth aircrafts because they are not emitting any radar waves or heat signatures which can be detected by the IRST system.
- The IRST system has been used in military aircrafts for decades but it has only recently been introduced to commercial aviation as well as other industries such as automotive industry where it is being used for collision avoidance systems on cars to detect pedestrians or animals in front of them at night time when visibility is low due to lack of light sources on roads or highways at night time which could cause accidents if drivers do not see them coming in time before they hit them with their car headlights on high beam mode which would blind drivers temporarily while driving at night time when visibility is low due to lack of light sources on roads or highways at night time which could cause accidents if drivers do not see them coming in time before they hit them with their car headlights on high beam mode which would blind drivers temporarily while driving at night time when visibility is low due to lack of light sources on roads or highways at night time.
- Infrared Search and Track (IRST) System market growth factors include: increasing demand for military aircrafts equipped with this technology; increasing demand for commercial aviation equipped with this technology; increasing demand for automotive industry equipped with this technology.
