Military Radio System Market Trends

The privacy and security of military communications is the primary requirement of the defense sector. The increasing volume of IP-based data, such as situational awareness video and remote sensor data transmitted over standard interfaces, drives the need for advanced data network security. Moreover, securing military satellites against cyberattacks has become increasingly crucial as cyber resources on the ground, air, and space are vulnerable to various threats. As military communication data and network infrastructure are critical, security breaches may risk citizens' safety. To avoid this, the defense sector is adopting secure military communications solutions. For instance, in October 2017, the US Air Force introduced military-code or M-Code, an advanced GPS signal, to improve anti-jamming, protection from spoofing, and secure access to military GPS signals. The US Air Force awarded a USD 45.5 million contract to Lockheed Martin to provide M-code early-use capability to the GPS satellites. In the same year, for secure satellite communications, the US Army planned to buy backpack-sized radios that could operate on the Navy's Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) waveform to provide secure voice and data services. Thus, this factor drives the market CAGR of military radio systems.

Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on increasing investments toward integrating advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence into communication solutions to enhance military communication. This is also expected to propel market growth in the coming years.Furthermore, growing investment in IoT-based communication systems to enhance defense operations drives the Military Radio System market revenue growth.
