Military Communications Market Research Report – Global Forecast to 2023

Military Communications Market Research Report - Forecast to 2023
The factors driving the growth of military communications market, are replacement of aging technology with more
advanced equipment, introduction of digital communications, usage of software-defined radio, and enhanced security
features. Another factor estimated to contribute to the growth of the military communications market, is growth in
investments by governments across the globe in the defense sector.
The military communications market is segmented based on device type, application, platform, and regions. On the basis of
device type, military SATCOM is the most widely used and has the largest market share; while, on the basis of the platform,
airborne is estimated to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Military users are focused on increasing
their coverage area, which would bring outstanding capabilities and high performance. For instance, Thales signed a
contract with Spanish Armed Forces to modernize their PR4G radios, in order to provide the users with enhanced capability
of high priority information dissemination. Similarly, BAE systems signed a contract with U.S. Navy to support radio and
communications systems design and integration for I3 surface combatant ships.
For instance, Inmarsat's Global Xpress is the first commercial high-throughput network that covers the entire world. Apart
from provision of in-flight connectivity, it also focuses on providing seamless data communication in military airborne
platform. Additionally, it is fully interoperable with military SATCOM (MILSATCOM). MILSATCOM is divided into three
categories, which are narrowband, wideband, and protected to match suitable frequency bands. MILSATCOM continues to
play a crucial role in military communications architecture, as it can provide voice, video, and data communications to users
globally. MILSATCOM must integrate and adopt new technologies to support these applications in warfighting applications.
The Mobile User Objective System is currently under development to meet future MILSATCOM requirements. It is required
to increase the capacity of platforms that are highly mobile and are operating in the most challenging propagation
environments.
The market is segmented based on region into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South
America. North America region is expected to dominate the market in future, due to rapid adoption of advanced
communications network and rising investment in the defense sector. Asia Pacific is second to the North America market in
military communications market, due to increasing investments by the governments of developing countries.
