Market Brief: Pakistan’s ‘Missing Middle’ Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) Requirement Quwa Premium
Executive Summary
The May 2025 conflict served as a critical test for Pakistan’s modernized air defences. Its outcomes against drone swarms and the implicit risk of massed BrahMos strikes will likely drive a new phase of capability assessment.
Quwa’s core finding identifies a significant and underserved capability gap – the ‘Missing Middle’ – in Pakistan’s layered defences, creating both an immediate and addressable market for modern short-to-medium-range air defence systems (SHORAD/MRAD).
Beyond this primary opportunity, the brief details growing requirements for:
- Advanced Very Short-Range Air Defence (V-SHORAD) with C-UAS capabilities.
- Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) and integrated hard/soft-kill solutions.
- Next-generation Electronic Warfare (EW) components.
Crucially, this brief moves beyond solely technical requirements to deliver actionable commercial intelligence.
It assesses the primary market-entry barriers – including fiscal constraints, domestic programs, and entrenched foreign competition – and provides concrete strategies for positioning your solution to win.
