A military sensor is a crucial component of weaponry, electronic equipment, or aircraft designed to detect or examine its surroundings, providing real-time information. Military sensors play a vital role in various applications, including missiles, aircraft, radars, combat systems, navigation, target tracking, active guiding, weapon control, and environmental awareness.
The main types of military sensor components include software and hardware. Software sensors generate signals through software applications. These sensors are deployed across different platforms, including airborne, land-based, and naval applications. They find applications in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), communication and navigation, target recognition, electronic warfare, command and control, and other military operations.

The military sensors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.23 billion in 2023 to $10.96 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to regulatory changes and standards, the adoption of unmanned platforms, industrial partnerships and collaborations, a focus on situational awareness, and government initiatives and contracts.
The military sensors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.04 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the trends of miniaturization and low-power designs, global geopolitical instabilities, the expansion of unmanned systems, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and a growing demand for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Major trends expected in the forecast period include an increased focus on cybersecurity, the development of multi-functional sensors, advancements in miniaturization and lightweight designs, an emphasis on hyperspectral and multi-spectral sensors, and a push towards interoperability and sensor networking.
The military sensors market is experiencing significant growth, primarily propelled by the rise in defense spending by emerging economies. Military spending, encompassing various aspects such as operation, maintenance, procurement of weaponry, and research and development, serves as a crucial factor driving demand for military sensors. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported a 0.7% increase in global military spending from $1,981 billion in 2020 to $2,113 billion in 2021. Notably, China augmented its military spending by 4.7% in 2021, reaching an estimated $293 billion. This surge in defense spending by emerging economies is a key driver for the ongoing and future growth of the military sensors market.
The escalating threat of terrorist activities significantly contributes to the expansion of the military sensor market. The global increase in terrorist threats poses heightened risks and vulnerabilities to security. Military sensors play a pivotal role in detecting suspicious activities, unauthorized movements, and potential threats in sensitive areas. The Global Terrorism Index 2022 reported a 17% surge in terrorist attacks, totaling 5,226 incidents in 2021. Countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq remained severely impacted by terrorism, with a 14% rise in fatalities, reaching a total of 1,426 deaths. Consequently, the intensifying terrorist threats are anticipated to drive the growth of the military sensor market.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend in the military sensors market, with major companies focusing on the development of cutting-edge sensor technologies. One example is Armaments Research Company Inc., which introduced a predictive maintenance platform for crew-served weapons for the U.S. Marine Corps. Engaging in the 'Joint All-Domain Command and Control' (JADC2) project, this initiative aims to unify sensors from various military services into an integrated network. Technological innovation is a strategic focus for companies seeking to enhance their market positions in the military sensors segment.
Major companies in the military sensors market are dedicated to developing advanced products, including sensor solutions that improve precision, extend detection ranges, and enhance situational awareness for effective threat identification and response in military operations. L3Harris Technologies Inc., for instance, introduced an advanced infrared sensor to enhance the Javelin Weapon System's Command Launch Unit. This infrared technology, developed under the Vital Infrared Sensor Technology Acceleration program, reduces target engagement time, thereby enhancing the efficiency of military operations.
In March 2022, Standex International Corporation acquired Sensor Solutions for $9.7 million. This strategic acquisition expanded Standex International Corporation's technical expertise and customer solutions in growing sectors, including military speed and position magnetic sensors for applications such as electric vehicles, industrial automation, and medical markets.
