AESAs3 Report - Worldwide & Regional Market Forecasts for Systems, TRMs & AESA - implemented MMICs

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of `AESAs3 Report` to its offering.

Global in scope with Europe, North America and the Rest of the ("West-friendly") World segmentations AESAs3 comprises an extensive and intensive report providing detailed information on the current status and (most importantly) forecast shipments plus RF modules and MMICs market values applying to AESAs. AESAs3 is the heavily updated third-release report in a sequence of reports on this subject (starting in 2007). Major new developments have occurred or are on the visible horizon, necessitating the generation of this major update report.

The one outstanding new development is definitely Northrop Grumman's LEMV (long endurance multi-purpose vehicle) which represents a dramatic development in terms of AESA size. The first prototype LEMV (2014) is planned to have >100,000 TRMs and the final two systems will each have 7M TRMs.

Further important examples of new developments include:

Artisan 3D (Europe), CAEW (Israel), CEAMOUNT(Australia), E-CAPTOR (Europe), EQ-36 (USA) and Kronos 3D (LND and NV - Europe). It should also be observed that changes resulting from defense budgetary pressures (notably in the USA and the UK) are, somewhat ironically often favorable to AESA implementations - especially upgrades onto, for example, earlier aircraft such as F-15s or F-16s.

Active electronically steered arrays (AESAs) are increasingly being implemented into (mainly military) systems currently and there is substantial mileage for important new developments. For some decades the potential advantages have been well known in terms of having a radar beam that could be scanned at orders-of-magnitude faster rates than available mechanically.

In earlier instances the fundamental high-power signal for phased arrays was obtained from a microwave tube source such as a TWT the output of which was separated to feed typically some tens through hundreds of individual antenna elements. The advent of MMICs for both transmit and also for receive functions has transformed the technology and functionality associated with such arrays. Therefore, with this updated report, we are concentrating exclusively on AESAs.

Demand for radars is steadily increasing-both commercial and (especially) military.

The 'War against Terrorism' and the campaigns in both Afghanistan and Iraq have continued to drive upwards electronics requirements in defense and security applications. This applies to airborne, battlefield, naval and (to a limited extent) space-based radars.

In this report we cover in depth a study of the various types of AESAs, their production and developmental status, specific examples of airborne, shipboard/naval, land-based, and spaceboard phased array radars. We also include a study of the components and subsystems used in such arrays and provide competitive assessments of key players in this industry-including the systems integrators and principal consortium members. Major examples are: EADS Defence Electronics (notably Cassidian), Galileo Avionica, INDRA, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Company, Saab Microwave Systems, Selex Galileo-and Thales.

Underlying technology and impacts

Bearing in mind the importance in this segment of RF/microwave amplifiers and signal sources, specifically the modular products providing these functions, appropriate technologies are also considered from time to time in this report. This particularly includes the semiconductors GaAs, GaN (becoming very significant) and SiC and transmit-receive modules (TRMs) implementing MMICs built using selected chip-sets comprising these semiconductor materials.

Examples of references consulted for updated information include, mainly on the supply-side: exhibition-originated data (e.g. IMS/MTT-S 2010), on-going issues of the Microwave Journal, Microwaves & RF and Microwave Product Digest. On the Demand Side magazines such as Aviation Week & Space Technology and Janes Defense Weekly are regularly consulted. Important useful web links include: Military & Aerospace Electronics, Microwave Flash and RF Globalnet. Most importantly, regular contact is maintained with appropriate industry executives the majority of whom are well known to the authors.

The first report on AESAs, including the associated TRMs and MMICs, was released in February 2007. Since that time several important changes have occurred both at the AESA application and platform installation levels and also, critically, at the underlying levels of disruptive product technology. Whilst GaAs MMICs are extensively implemented in today's AESAs, GaN devices will "invade" the markets with a few years and all the AESAs3 reported data fully accounts for this disruptive trend - in detail.

Major changes since the previous report (AESAs2):

Additional AESAs/AESA plans examined in detail within AESAs3:

Artisan 3D (Europe)
CAEW (Israel)
CEAMOUNT (Australia)
E-CAPTOR (Europe)
EQ-36 (USA)
Kronos 3D (LND and NV - Europe)
LEMV (USA - relatively very large arrays).

LEMV (Northrop Grumman - long endurance multi-purpose vehicle) represents a dramatic development in terms of AESA size. The first prototype LEMV (2014) is planned to have >100,000 TRMs and the final two systems will each have 7M TRMs.

Changes resulting from defense budgetary pressures (notably in the USA and the UK but ironically often favourable to AESA implementations - especially upgrades).

Changes resulting from specific new announcements (one outstanding example being that of the Eurofighter Typhoon radar with the E-CAPTOR development).

Much more detail on UVs (specifically the larger UAVs and UCAVs) having current AESA implementations or the potential for such.

Updated pricing (monetary values - internal costs) for T/R modules (TRM) and MMICs.

Advances in the implementation of GaAs and (later) GaN MMICs.

Market Opportunity: mVoIP + Social + Presence - Latest Market Report

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announced the addition of 'Market Opportunity: mVoIP + Social + Presence' market report to its offering.

There is a unique opportunity, for a period of about three years, for certain so called Over-the-Top VoIP providers to offer social networking driven services that represent a low cost/no cost alternative to incumbent network operator's services.
More specifically, there is an opportunity for certain OTT VoIP providers to stand out from the crowd, gain market share, and attract the attention of acquiring incumbent wireless carriers. Those same mobile network operators need to recognize that a strategy to start with OTT Wireless VoIP is a bridge to "dialable" VoIP via LTE. They also need to recognize that OTT VoIP is also a longer term offering themselves, even in a ubiquitous LTE coverage environment (which will be many years in the making) as roaming partners will not necessarily have their own LTE coverage.

This report evaluates the OTT Wireless VoIP opportunity from the perspective of its place the evolving bearer (voice and data) services market, the importance of social networks in its growth, its roll as a transition to "dialable" VoIP services via VoLTE, and the future of VoIP for incumbent mobile operators.

Key Findings:

Social networks is a driver for building critical mass for OTT wireless VoIP service offerings
Incumbent operators are in the best position to leverage presence and other core network capabilities
OTT wireless VoIP is a challenge that will become an opportunity for operators that take action
The combination of mVoIP, social, and presence defines a shift occurring in bearer services value

Audience:

Over-the-Top VoIP providers
Incumbent wireless network operators
VoIP infrastructure and application companies
Value-added Service (VAS) application developers

Market Opportunity: Free VoIP over Wireless vs. VoLTE - Latest Market Report

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announced the addition of 'Market Opportunity: Free VoIP over Wireless vs. VoLTE' market report to its offering.

No cost and low cost VoIP is something that is not on the radar screen for many incumbent mobile networks operators, but it should be. There is downward price pressure on voice services and even basic data service. there is an increasing awareness of Internet Protocol (IP) being cheap source of transport, and hence more people becoming aware of VoIP, and therefore Over the Top (OTT) VoIP alternatives.

This report evaluates the current OTT Wireless VoIP service providers, providing a comparative analysis, and analyzing their prospects relative to the incumbent wireless carriers. This report also evaluates the transition strategy for mobile network operators to partner/acquire certain OTT providers as a means of positioning the former towards "dialable" VoIP via VoLTE, and also an offering for support of outbound roaming in non-LTE areas.

The report also analyzes key Value-added Service (VAS) capabilities such as presence, and one of the key presence-enabled VAS applications, Dynamic Address Book. The DAB is discussed in this report and it is our belief that it (along with other presence and location based applications) is key to incumbent carriers success in differentiating themselves from OTT competitors.


Key Findings:

No cost and low cost wireless VoIP is a catalyst for growth incumbent operators to take action
The incumbent carriers must offer their own "dialable" 4G/LTE VoIP via VoLTE
Incumbent operators are in the best position to leverage presence and other core network capabilities
There is an opportunity for certain OTT VoIP providers to be acquired by incumbent wireless carriers

Audience:

Over-the-Top VoIP providers
Incumbent wireless network operators
VoIP infrastructure and application companies
Value-added Service (VAS) application developers

Market Opportunity: Call Continuity in Voice over LTE (VoLTE) - Reportstack.com

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announced the addition of 'Market Opportunity: Call Continuity in Voice over LTE (VoLTE)' market report to its offering.

4G data services are in the deployment stage, but is will be a few years until there is ubiquitous LTE coverage. Meanwhile, there are competitive threats emerging against incumbent carriers' core voice services. This is coming at a time when all bearer services (voice and data) are becoming marginalized due to market expectations, economic conditions, and a coming supply side expansion in terms of network capacity.

This represents an opportunity and threat to incumbent network operators as well as their suppliers and even the competition. Certain competitors will become acquisition targets as carriers realize their transition strategy from inexpensive alternatives, to cheaper carrier branded offerings based on 3G. The incumbent carriers must deal with the threat of these "dial around" wireless VoIP providers by offering their own "dialable" VoIP.

This report evaluates the opportunity for incumbent mobile network operator to offer "dialable" VoIP services via VoLTE. This is in contrast to the many so called Over the Top (OTT) wireless VoIP providers that do not rely upon 4G. They instead offer OTT services via 3G/WiFi and require the user to download software onto a smart phone and access their offering via their carrier's data plan.

Key Findings:

Offering 4G/LTE VoIP via VoLTE represents an implementation and operational challenge for incumbent operators
Incumbent operators must offer branded OTT wireless VoIP as a transition and also a solution for outbound roaming
Incumbent network operators are in the best position to leverage presence and other core next generation network capabilities
Certain key next generation applications, such as the Dynamic Address Book, wiumbent wireless network operators
VoIP infrastructure and application companies
Value-added Service (VAS) application developers
