Defense Communication System Market Outlook – 2027 

Communication is the most important tool for any defense and military of a country. Troops receive information and instructions from the command centers using these communication systems. The military and the country both will be affected by the damage caused due to loss of communication. So, the defense communications systems were developed as any advancement made in the communication channel in these systems. Counter technology to interfere the channels were also developed. The global defense communication system market is experiencing a significant growth, and is anticipated to grow considerably in the next few years.

The global defense communication system market is segmented on the basis of product type, communication type, component, application, end user, and region. Based on product type, the defense communication system market is bifurcated into systems and services. In terms of communication type, the market is categorized into underwater communications, shipborne communications, airborne communications, ground-based communications, and air-ground communications. 

On the basis of component, the market is divided into defense SATCOM systems, defense security systems, defense radio systems, and communication management systems. In terms of application, the market is categorized into routine operations, command & control, situational awareness, ISR, and others. On the basis of end user, the market is segregated into naval forces, land forces, and air forces. Geographically, the market is analyzed across several regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA).

Key players operating in the global defense communication system industry include Cobham, Iridium Communications, BAE Systems, Inmarsat, Rockwell Collins, Rolta India, Viasat, General Dynamics, L3 Technologies, Leonardo, and Others. These companies have adopted several strategies such as product launches, partnerships, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures to strengthen their foothold in the global market. 

Top Impacting Factors 

The major drivers that lead to the defense communication system market growth are increased applications of IoT technologies and increased sensor systems used in battlefields. But, collaboration & interoperability between defense agencies, spectrum allocation, changing nature of operations, rapidly changing technologies, and inadequate funding by the government hinder the market growth. 

But, adoption of special satellites for communication services, adoption of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, miniaturization of devices, development of powerful and energy efficient defense communication devices are expected to fuel the market growth further.

New Product Launches to Flourish the Market

IRIS Forms 5.6 was launched by Systematic in 2018. It simplifies complex information and supports complex geometries. Thus, this system makes it easier for defense and military organizations to manage, comprehend and analyze information. Also, new features for its SitaWare suite were developed by Systematic in 2018. It is a leading control and command software. 

A new map mode that brings 3D functionality to the system is added to the enhanced SitaWare 6.7. It brings improved visualization while maintaining the same information as defense users can switch from the standard plane view into 3D format. Thus, these systems of Systematic flourished the defense communication system market.

Surge in Usage By Land Forces

Manufacturers have been focusing on producing new products for specific applications as there are varying demands based on the utilization. Leading market players have determined how improved features can be influential in many applications. As modern battlefields are complex environments where large number of data needs to flow without any disruption, Defense Communication systems are widely used by the
Land Forces. 

It also protects from breaches by enemies. The transfer of essential information between land forces is mostly carried out by ground based communication systems. This helps them to execute routine operations and stay updated about the situation at the battlefield.
