Military Communications Market Tech Pointers
2023-2030
The defense sector has witnessed spectacular
advancements in technology over the years, which
is reflected today in battlefields powered by
hi-tech weaponry, advanced robots, laser systems,
and super drones. And with the growing focus on
bolstering defense capabilities, there is
increased attention towards ensuring that armed
forces are not affected by communication gaps.
This explains the growth of the global military
communications market, which will record a CAGR
of 4.12 in the forecast period 2023-2030, as per
Triton Market Research.

• The communication devices used in the military
  provide faster, improved, and more versatile
  communications. This helps in expeditious
  decision-making with the help of intelligence
  input, effective situational awareness, and
  targeted action. Also, the safety of a nations
  armed forces is greatly enhanced by their use.
  The need to advanced ensure secure data
  transmission, coupled with the rising border
  conflicts and increasing investments by the
  government, are greatly driving the global
  market.
• Military Communications Market Outlook Dynamic
  Impact
• Need for Real-Time Information During Combat
• Identifying enemy position and receiving updates
  regarding the same is crucial during warlike
  situations. Such intel can be obtained from the
  use of tactical data links (TDL). The real-time
  information provided by them is pivotal for
  making informed decisions, deploying better
  countermeasures, planning

• strategies, and handling highly dynamic battle
  situations. Link 16 TDL is the most used data
  link system by the United States and NATO to gain
  real-time information.
• In Tritons report, data link systems are studied
  under the component segment of the military
  communications market. Data link systems such as
  TDL provide seamless and efficient support for
  all three assets of the armed forces (army, navy,
  air force) under one roof, creating an efficient
  networking system. Their growing adoption is
  expected to drive the global tactical data links
  market at a CAGR of 6.33 during 2020-2028.
• Countering Interoperability Issues with Advanced
  Technologies
• Interoperability between communication systems
  ensures that defense forces work effectively and
  in unison. However, the lack of efficient
  interoperable systems is a major challenge faced
  by defense departments that can hamper growth.
  Hence, to meet the growing demand for effective
  communication, it is important to scale the
  current systems. This is accomplished by
  developing adaptable and advanced equipment, such
  as BLOS communication systems, which keep pace
  with the changing needs of different operating
  environments.
• SATCOM Defining the Future of Military
  Communications
• Satellite communication (SATCOM) is widely used
  for Intelligence, Surveillance, and
  Reconnaissance (ISR) in military operations and
  has emerged as an advanced communication
  solution. It is a critical component required to
  establish and achieve network-centric
  capabilities for the defense forces. Ka- band
  satellites offer a higher spectrum, enabling
  greater data speeds and capacities, as compared
  to X and Ku bands. In February 2023, Thales Group
  began delivering the Syracuse IV SATCOM naval
  stations to the French Navy, as part of its
  contract under the Syracuse IV program.
• Growing Competition among Nations to Incorporate
  Advanced Technologies
• With the quest for innovation and technological
  superiority, defense strategists across countries
  are looking for improved ways to outperform
  rivals. The United States is home to one of the
  biggest military bases in the world, thanks to
  enhanced government expenditure. According to
  Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
  (SIPRI), the US military expenditure reached
  778 billion in 2020. Such investments to secure
  advanced military equipment are driving the
  market in North America.
• On the other hand, India is expected to emerge as
  a lucrative market in the Asia-Pacific region,
  owing to the rapid replacement of conventional
  defense equipment with modern warfare and
  communication systems. The adoption of
  network-centric and connective technologies in
  these systems is expected to further augment
  market demand.
• Furthermore, artificial intelligence has become a
  vital part of modern combat systems as it enables
  the development of efficient systems that are
  less dependent on human input and can empower
  autonomous weapons to carry out attacks. The use
  of state-of-the-art equipment integrated with the
  latest developments has provided a much-needed
  boost to military technology, thereby
• enabling seamless communication and
  collaboration. And the growing efforts to
  modernize the defense sector with advanced
  technologies are expected to accelerate the
  military communications markets growth over the
  coming years.
