Military Aircraft Communication Avionics Market Outlook – 2027 

The global military aircraft communication avionics market is experiencing a significant growth due to increasing military fleet of developing countries. Military aircraft avionics systems compromise of various electronic systems and vast array of sensors installed in the aircraft as well as integrated into the cockpit to execute specialized functions such as communication, navigation, and monitoring the aircraft functions. Communication avionics specializes in aircraft communication system. Especially, these components play a vital role during situations of war during which the aircraft operator has to maintain a high level of situational awareness. Currently, advanced military avionics systems include more software and less hardware, which favors the maintenance requirements.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario analysis: 

• COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments around the world to refrain from mobilizing military personnel to prevent the spread of disease; hence, slowing down military movement and reduced usage of military aircrafts.
• The delay in order processing and procurement due to supply chain restrictions caused by the COVID-19 has put hold on all ongoing military aircraft avionics projects.
• Governments are diverting all economic resources to combat COVID-19 scenario, at the same time military organizations are left with huge budgetary constraints impacting ongoing aircraft avionics upgradation.
• The lockdown and social distancing imposed by authorities to contain the COVID-19 will negatively impact military aircraft avionics system training of the personnel.
• Military has been called to aid in COVID-19 crisis by respective countries, consequently diverting all focus on civilian aid, rendering combat aircraft avionics impractical in short term.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

Surge in retrofit & aircraft upgradation, increase in demand for UAVs for surveillance, and rise in adoption of synthetic vision system (SVS) used to overcome the issues associated with limited outside visibility for the pilot are the factors that drive the global military aircraft communication avionics market. However, budget constraints for developing countries for military aircraft avionics and expensive R&D in military aircraft avionics hinder the market growth. On the contrary, updates on technical standards in military aviation and employment of software-based military avionics present new pathways in the industry.

The global military aircraft communication avionics market trends are as follows:

Surge in retrofit and aircraft upgradation

The prevalent budgetary restrictions lead to increase in aircraft modernization program. For instance, in 2020, Hughes Network Solutions (broadband satellite service provider based in Maryland, US) announced a successful flight demonstration of its HeloSat SATCOM system on a UH-60A Black Hawk (attack helicopter) owned by XP Services (test pilot service provider based in Tennessee, US). The flight demonstration included a Hughes HM series modem, the Ku-band frequency Intelsat Galaxy 18 (G-18) satellite, and a 10 KG fuselage-mounted GetSat Milli-H antenna. Further, the Ku-band frequency allows higher data rate transmissions than L-band and is cheaper to use than the L-band satellite frequency, as the latter charges by per minute usage. The demonstration by transmitted consistent, real-time, and full-motion video to a live global audience from the Black Hawk as it surveilled the Tennessee landscape. Such surge in retrofit and aircraft upgradation adopted by military agencies is expected to further drive the global military aircraft avionics market.
