    Detection and response to indirect fire incidents (artillery and rockets) is moving up the military agenda as force protection becomes more important in operations. There are two types of weapon-finding systems in regular use. Weapon-finding radars have been in use for many years; they are huge and fragile because the power and antenna size required to detect small targets at long range are enormous. Acoustic sound-ranging systems have been in use for many years; contemporary systems are made up of a network of microphone arrays stretched across a vast baseline in order to achieve accuracy and coverage. The interaction of these sensors with their surroundings and the objectives of interest is complex, and deploying such assets for near-optimal performance is a difficult undertaking.

    Tracking the hostile artillery shell can take several seconds, depending on the antenna elevation coverage and projectile trajectory, to collect enough track data points to forecast the launch point and impact point. As a result, the complete process from projectile interception to launch point and impact point reporting can take tens of seconds. A WLR capability is defined by a few important indications, including the likelihood of identifying launchers, the accuracy of launch point and impact point reporting, and confidence in target classification. A WLR’s secondary duty is to assist friendly fire components. When on a Friendly Fire Registration (FFR) mission.

    Major Factors Driving Weapon Locating Radar Market Growth

    In an EW scenario, complex signal processing techniques are used to detect and track projectiles in the presence of terrain, weather clutter, and other sources of interference. Environmental characteristics are taken into account by trajectory computation algorithms when determining both launch and impact points for the desired accuracy. Advancing signal processing will be one of the major driving factors for the growth of the market as per weapon locating radar market analysis.

    Trends Influencing the WLR Market Size

    Advancements in AI are also one of the major trends influencing the growth of the market. AI will enable autonomous targeting and engaging of targets. AESA radar advancements will assist in automatically finding hostile artillery, mortars, and rocket launchers, as well as tracking friendly fire to pinpoint the impact site of friendly artillery fire and provide required corrections. The radar detects projectiles with narrow cross-sections over the battle space horizon and can handle simultaneous fire from guns stationed in several locations. AI and advancements in AESA radar technology will be the primary market trends that will influence the growth of the market.

    WLR Market Forecast & Dynamics

    Increasing defense spending will drive the market for new procurement activities and upgrades to existing platforms with newer technologies and capabilities. The increase in defense spending will encourage the procurement of new weapon locating radars. Procurement will also be driven by prevailing geo-political conditions in Europe and the Asia Pacific. The proliferation of artillery systems will be one of the key drivers for the procurement of weapon locating radars.

    Weapon Locating Radar Market Analysis for Recent Developments

    The Indian Army orders BEL to buy a mountain variant of the Weapon locating radar. WLR mountain version is a cooperative development project done by Radar House Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) (a top lab of the Defense Research and Development Organization) and BEL to meet the Indian Army’s long-felt requirement. The radar detects hostile guns, mortars, and rocket launchers launched from up to 60-80 kilometers away. The powerful algorithms handle the detection, location, and tracking of the required targets. The radar is intended to detect projectiles thrown into friendly positions with modest cross-sections across the battle space horizon.

    India beat Russia and Poland to win a $40 million defense contract to deliver locally-built missile-finding radars to Armenia in Europe. The radar system was created by the state-owned Defense Research and Development Organization’s (DRDO) Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) in Bengaluru and is manufactured by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). India has already begun selling the radar system to Armenia, providing a significant boost to the government’s ‘Make in India’ defense industry initiative. Following comprehensive trials of systems supplied by Russia and Poland, the Armenian side decided on the tried and tested Indian radar technology. As part of the agreement, New Delhi will provide four such systems to Armenia.

    Norwegian Defense Materiel Agency (NDMA), the agency has signed a contract with Thales Netherlands for the delivery of three additional Ground Master 200 Multi Mission (GM200 MM/C) digital counter-battery radars. The deal, worth NOK 460 M (EUR 44.3 M), was signed as a Government-to-Government arrangement with the NDMA’s Dutch counterpart, the Defense Materiel Organization (DMO). The DMO has a contract with Thales Netherlands for the procurement of radar equipment, with options for other NATO states to use the contract. The New Norwegian contract supplements an earlier contract for five radars of the same type, bringing the total value of all eight radars to NOK 2 billion (EUR 192.9 M).

    The Indian Army has recently added the “Swathi Mountains,” a lighter and more compact version of the indigenous Weapon Locating Radar (WLR-M), to its arsenal. This advanced radar system, developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in Bengaluru, is critical in improving military operations, particularly in difficult terrain. Let’s delve deeper into this cutting-edge technology’s features, capabilities, and significance. The Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) has emerged as a key component of modern military strategies, employing sophisticated signal processing techniques to detect and track hostile artillery, mortars, and rocket launchers autonomously. Its capabilities go beyond hostile fire detection by tracking friendly fire trajectories, allowing for more precise calculations for more accurate artillery strikes. This radar’s strength lies in its ability to detect and track small projectiles across the battlefield while accounting for environmental conditions to accurately estimate launch and impact points. Notably, the WLR’s mobility and rapid deployment capabilities allow it to adapt to changing operational needs. Its adaptable design enables it to scan different areas without the need for physical repositioning. The Swathi Mountains WLR is a cutting-edge electronically scanned phased array radar with features tailored to mountainous and high-altitude environments. This radar system is an example of indigenous technological advancement, significantly contributing to India’s defense capabilities.
