Based on components, the global military communications market is divided into very small aperture terminal (VSAT), fleet satellite communications system (FLTSATCOM), mobile satellite service (MSS), and military strategic & tactical relay (MILSTAR). The FLTSATCOM segment is projected to dominate the market in the coming years owing to the wide adoption of the communication system to connect the fleet satellite system. The extensive use of the component to perform military operations and other military activities is another key driver for the segment growth. Satellite communication systems are becoming more effective during warfare as they offer critical communication support among various military units.
On the basis of communication types, the global military communications market is segmented into shipborne, ground-based, underwater, air-ground, and airborne. The ground-based segment is expected to constitute a large market share in the coming years owing to the high popularity of the communication type for military data transmission and wide adoption of the type for various defense purposes. The segment growth is attributed to the increased use of a range of networking systems for ground-based military platforms such as data connections, high frequency (HF), and VHF/UHF/L-Band. For danger identification, the defense domain utilizes field military antennas to achieve situational information.
Based on applications, the global military communications market is categorized into routine operations, situational awareness, and command & control. The command & control segment is expected to exhibit a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to extensive use of the system for executing commands from headquarters to units. The increasing use of manpack radios for command & control applications is a key factor that drives the segment growth. Air, naval, and land forces mostly use manpack radios to coordinate with each other.
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is a fast-growing market and is anticipated to exhibit a substantial CAGR during the forecast period owing to increasing defense budgets of emerging economies such as India and China due to emerging geo-political conflicts in the region. In the aircraft military communications industry, the field is projected to expand steadily over time. Furthermore, rising investment in order to upgrade innovative communication technology and build effective modern military systems from several countries in the region are projected to drive the regional market growth.
Some of the major players competing in the global military communications markets are General Dynamics, Thales Group, Harris Corp, Rockwell Collins, BAE Systems, L-3 Communications, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Alcatel-Lucent. These major companies have diversified their business operation by formulating strategic alliances and integrated products.
