As part of the primary research process, stakeholders from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to acquire both qualitative and quantitative insights. The supply-side sources consisted of CEOs, VPs of Engineering, chief technology officers, and program directors from electronic warfare system manufacturers, defense contractors, and OEMs. Demand-side sources included program directors from armed forces, defense ministries, and military research laboratories, as well as military procurement officers, defense acquisition program managers, electronic warfare officers, and military intelligence analysts. Through primary research, market segmentation was verified, technology development timelines were verified, and insights regarding operational requirements, procurement strategies, and budget allocation dynamics were obtained.
