Tactical Communication Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Modernisation and Replacement of Aging Communication Equipment
The army futures command is focusing on network modernization as one of its main goals. The new capabilities are designed to boost the service's capacity and resiliency to compete in high-end battles against near-peer opponents. The Army is pursuing a series of two-year capability sets to fulfill its network goals. According to the service, each set includes many design goals, including a unified network, a shared operational environment, joint interoperability/coalition accessibility, and command post mobility/survivability. Defense communication encompasses all areas of armed forces' information and data transfer for well-organized operations, military surveillance, command, and control. Furthermore, communication relies on a complex and large network of physical components and software to transfer information to individuals across geographic boundaries. For secure data transfer and network infrastructure, evolving communication technologies such as SATCOM, which is high-frequency communication, and ultra-high frequency communication are replacing traditional tactical communication systems.
Increasing Modernization of Reconnaissance Equipment in Defense Forces
In the military business, rapid technological advancements are breeding disruptive technologies. For instance, the Manpack and Leader Radio tactical data radios have been given Full-Rate Production (FRP) contracts by the US Army. The FRP award comes after two years of operational trial with the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team, according to the Program Executive Office (PEO) C3T, which is in charge of the procurement process. In January 2021, an initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E) at Fort Bragg helped affirm a choice to move through with the FRP decision.
