Military Communications Market Driven by Growing Concerns about Data Security

The military communications market is expected to witness growth owing to the rising security concerns. Due to an increase in the number of disputes among different countries across the world, there is a significant growth in the procurement of weaponry and military communication solutions. The increasing adoption of ad-hoc networking in unmanned vehicles as well as multi-mode and multi-band tactical radio systems will propel the demand for hardware and software that enable military communications.

The major driver for the military communications market is the growing concerns about data security in this digital world. Since the cyber resources on the ground, air, sea, and space are vulnerable to various threats, securing military equipment against cyberattacks has become increasingly crucial. The military sector is continuing to adopt secured ways to keep from such situations. For enhanced battlefield situational awareness and strategic communication between military officers and their juniors, there is a dire need for an advanced communication system.

Another major driver for the military communications market is the rising acceptance of wireless communication technology. Advanced communication technologies, such as SATCOM and ultra-high frequency communication, are replacing the existing wired communication systems, to build a stronger data security network. In addition, the U.S. is coming up with an inter-functional wireless system, which runs on the 5G network. It will connect all the military domains into a single matrix, thereby protecting critical equipment, such as missile systems, from the much-feared data security thefts.

APAC is expected to witness steep growth in the military communications market, attributed to a noticeable increase in warplane deliveries in developing nations, border threats from neighboring countries, and the adoption of network-centric warfare. Moreover, countries such as China, India, and Japan are rapidly building up their cyber warfare capabilities, which necessitates smooth data transmission. APAC being home to politically volatile countries is one of the fastest-growing markets for military communication solutions. For instance, India continues to engage in regular skirmishes with Pakistan and China on numerous issues. 

Based on communication, the airborne category will potentially become large. This may be attributed to the increasing focus and spending to improve the capabilities of air forces. Furthermore, the expenditure on airborne communications continues to rise as countries seek to improve their ground attack, strike, air superiority, and reconnaissance capabilities. For instance, the AWACS system is carried by a number of reconnaissance aircraft of the forces of India, the U.S., Australia, Israel, China, Great Britain, Japan, and many other countries.

Thus, the growing concerns about military data security and adoption of wireless technology will together propel military communications
