Dublin, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Electronic Warfare Systems Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026-2035" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global electronic warfare systems market was valued at USD 16.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 55.8 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 12.8%. Market growth is being supported by rising defense expenditure, military modernization programs, geopolitical tensions, and the strategic importance of electromagnetic spectrum superiority in contested operational environments.

Governments and defense organizations are increasing investments in electronic attack, electronic protection, and electronic support capabilities. These technologies are becoming integral to multi-domain operations spanning land, air, naval, space, and cyber platforms. Armed forces are deploying advanced electronic warfare systems to strengthen situational awareness, communication resilience, intelligence gathering, targeting, force protection, and mission effectiveness.

Demand is also increasing in response to sophisticated radar systems, missiles, unmanned systems, autonomous platforms, communication networks, and electronic disruption techniques. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are accelerating the development of cognitive electronic warfare capabilities, including automated signal processing, threat detection, classification, and response. These advancements help defense organizations operate effectively in increasingly dense and complex electromagnetic environments.

Electronic Attack Segment Maintains Strong Growth

The electronic attack segment generated USD 6.5 billion in 2025. Expansion is driven by the deployment of jamming systems, electronic countermeasures, anti-radiation technologies, and suppression of enemy air defense capabilities. These solutions support operations targeting radar, navigation, communication, and command and control infrastructure. Increased adoption of stand-off jamming technologies and platform-based electronic warfare systems across airborne, naval, and ground applications is expected to sustain segment growth through 2035.

Military Applications Lead Market Demand

The military segment accounted for 78.2% of the electronic warfare systems market in 2025. Its leading position reflects expanding defense budgets and the need to counter advanced threats across modern combat environments. Electronic warfare capabilities are increasingly incorporated into air and missile defense, intelligence operations, targeting systems, battlefield awareness, and force protection programs. Procurement is expected to remain strong as defense forces replace legacy infrastructure and improve interoperability across operational domains.

North America Accounts for the Largest Regional Share

North America represented 43.2% of the global market in 2025, supported by substantial defense spending, large-scale modernization initiatives, and sustained investment in spectrum dominance technologies. Regional defense organizations continue to upgrade electronic attack, protection, and support systems to improve readiness and preserve technological superiority. Procurement programs covering aircraft, naval vessels, ground vehicles, satellites, and cyber infrastructure are expected to reinforce North America's market position.

Competitive Landscape and Strategic Priorities

Major companies operating in the global electronic warfare systems market include Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems, RTX, Thales, Leonardo S.p.A., SAAB, Elbit Systems Ltd., Hensoldt AG, Indra Sistemas, S.A., Rheinmetall AG, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, ASELSAN A.S., Bharat Electronics Limited, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, EDGE Group PJSC, Hanwha Systems Co., Ltd., IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries), and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.

Market participants are investing in advanced signal processing, artificial intelligence, spectrum management, and interoperable system architectures. Strategic partnerships with governments, defense agencies, and technology providers are supporting the development of capabilities tailored to changing threat environments. Modular and scalable architectures are also gaining importance because they support flexible deployment and integration across multiple defense platforms.
