Expert Views:
The UK DRFM Market will witness substantial growth in the near future, owing to the emergence of the Digital Battlespace concept. With the shift from analogue to fully digital RF memory systems, the UK military forces have gained an upper hand in spectral dominance. According to experts, as the enemy resorts to the adoption of Low Probability of Intercept radars, the UK’s efforts towards developing wideband DRFMs and fast digital-to-analogue converters will be crucial until 2035.
