A new Research and Markets report has forecast the U.S. and China will be the biggest spenders when it comes to electronic warfare over the next two years.
The research firm said Monday it also found that the number of electronic attacks grew during the past 12 months and that jamming devices are commonly used to perform the attacks.
Research and Markets believe that EW could result in a security breach or data leakage and increase operational costs of government and military agencies.
The report also offers information about methods and tools for protection from EW threats and includes executive opinions on challenges that government and defense organizations face when they manage EW threats.
BAE Systems, Exelis and Northrop Grumman are mentioned in the market analysis report.
