The directed energy weapons market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 813.18 million in 2022 to US$ 2,705.66 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 22.2% from 2022 to 2028.

Surging Vendors Focusing on Developing High-Energy DEWs

Armed military forces are increasing their investment in directed energy weapons, including microwave and high-energy laser weapons, as the technology develops. There is a rise in demand for high-energy directed energy weapons, and the investments are surging to billions of dollars every year. High-energy laser weapons are preferred to high-powered microwaves for longer-range requirements. Due to rising geopolitical tensions, there is an increase in the procurement of new high-energy laser weapons by developed and emerging nations. The US military is highly investing in the integration of advanced weapons systems such as high-energy laser weapons mounted on vehicles, which is driving the market. For instance, the US military has developed high-energy directed weapons in 2019 with pinpoint accuracy, making high-power lasers one of the most promising options. In 2019, the US. Air Force deployed its first High Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) developed by Raytheon Intelligence & Space. Moreover, Lockheed Martin provided a high energy laser (HEL) to the US Navy for installation on its warships. Further, in August 2022, the U.S. Navy secured delivery of a high-energy laser weapon called HELIOS from defense company Lockheed Martin. The adoption of high-energy, high-intensity laser weapons onto the ships and combat systems has provided the U.S Navy with exceptional directed energy capabilities. High-energy lasers (HEL), which produce photons, and high-power microwaves (HPM), which generate radiofrequency waves, are being installed on Naval ships. The sinking of the Russian naval flagship by a Ukrainian anti-ship missile in April 2022 in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War has prompted the US Navy to increase its efforts toward directed energy defenses on warships. Moreover, in January 2022, the U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, or NSWCDD, established a new department for developing and researching HPM directed energy weapons.

Market Overview

The North American directed energy weapons market, based on country, is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The growing threat of terrorist attacks, biological attacks, chemical attacks, and nuclear materials so that civilian lives and the national security of the region can be preserved. Over the years, according to the data published by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the US recorded military expenses of US$ 827.12 billion in 2021, which was US$ 801.68 billion in 2020. The increase in military expenditure by North American countries influences the growth of the North American directed energy weapons market. Moreover, a surge in military spending by developed and emerging nations due to heightened geopolitical tensions is accelerating the procurement of new air, land, and sea platforms. The military is investing in the integration of advanced weapons systems such as directed energy weapons on board the vehicle is driving the directed energy weapons market growth.

At 22.2% CAGR, the North America Directed Energy Weapons Market is speculated to be worth US$ 2,705.66 million by 2028, says The Insight Partners

According to The Insight Partners’ research, the North America directed energy weapons market was valued at US$ 813.18 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2,705.66 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 22.2% from 2022 to 2028. Raising adoption of DEW as countermeasure and surging vendors focusing on developing high-energy DEWs.

Manufacturers in the directed energy weapons market are working on developing countermeasures to missiles and rockets. Directed energy weapons such as microwaves, particle-beam, and lasers that are powered by electricity are in no need of complex supply chains as compared to missile batteries, hence there is high adoption of directed energy weapons instead of missiles. This is a driving factor for the DEW to be adopted by the military to utilize as countermeasures for threats, especially for units that operate within a range of an enemy’s missiles. Moreover, integrating directed energy with a mobile energy source, such as the one envisioned by the US Department of Defense’s Project Pele, and usage of directed energy weapons as countermeasures will save a lot of money as they can counter incoming air attack and missile threats at far less cost than options that include kinetic weapons. Counter measuring such threats for a few dollars by generating electricity-powered laser shots is far more affordable compared to kinetic interceptors that cost millions of dollars. Directed energy weapons are an affordable means to defeat low-cost threats such as small UAVs. For instance, The US navy is developing microwave, laser, and electronic warfare as warship air and point defense systems, restricting the more expensive ship-launched missiles for offensive purposes. The 60-kilowatt HELIOS system is being deployed on the Arleigh Burke Flight IIA destroyer. Moreover, Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN) is installed on three Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers and will be installed for two more in the coming years.
