Military communication involves the rapid and secure delivery of information, such as commands and instructions, across various regions over a short period, ensuring no data loss. This form of communication is essential for soldiers to convey messages and plan actions in the field.
The primary components of military communication include military satcom systems, military radio systems, military security systems, and communication management systems. Military satcom systems are specifically designed for military use, enabling communication at tactical, operational, and strategic levels for deployed soldiers, military ships, planes, and spacecraft. Various types of communications include airborne communications, air-ground communications, underwater communications, ground-based communications, and ship-borne communications. These communication methods are employed for purposes such as command and control, routine operations, situational awareness, and others, catering to the needs of land forces, naval forces, and air forces.

This military communication market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The military communication market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $36.03 billion in 2023 to $38.41 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as increased geopolitical tensions, modernization initiatives, changes in the threat landscape, interoperability requirements, and heightened military operations and deployments.
The military communication market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $48.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to cybersecurity concerns, advancements in satellite communication, rapid technological innovations, and budget allocations. Major trends expected in the forecast period include an increased use of unmanned systems, the utilization of cognitive radio technology, the development of resilient communication infrastructure, secure tactical data links, and a focus on low probability of intercept (LPI) communication.
The anticipated increase in military investment is poised to drive the growth of the military communication market in the future. Military investment denotes the financial commitment made by a nation to establish and maintain its armed forces or other essential defense measures. This funding covers various aspects, including ongoing operations, personnel expenses, training costs, maintenance of infrastructure and communication systems, and the development and acquisition of advanced technology in weapons, equipment, and vehicles. Consequently, the escalating investments in the military sector are expected to bolster the expansion of the military communication market. As of April 2023, reports from The House of Commons, a UK-based government body, reveal that the UK allocated $57.69 billion to its military in 2021, representing a $4.52 billion increase from the previous year. Hence, the upward trajectory of military investment is a driving force behind the growth of the military communication market.
The increasing threat of terrorism is anticipated to fuel the growth of the military communication market in the coming years. Terrorism involves the use of violence or intimidation, often directed at civilians, with the aim of instilling fear and advancing political, ideological, or religious objectives. Military communication plays a crucial role in counterterrorism efforts, facilitating secure and efficient information exchange among defense and intelligence agencies to prevent and respond to terrorist threats. Notably, data from March 2023 provided by the Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australia-based think tank, indicates that terrorist attacks became more lethal in 2022, with an average of 1.7 deaths per attack, compared to 1.3 deaths in 2021. Hence, the escalating threat of terrorism is a key driver of the military communication market.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the military communication market. Major companies operating in this market are actively embracing new technologies to maintain their competitive positions. For instance, in March 2023, Israel Aerospace Industries, an Israel-based aerospace and defense company, unveiled a new airborne software-defined radio (SDR). SDR communication systems perform modulation and demodulation of radio signals through software, offering interoperability with a wide range of military and commercial radios, operating in very high frequency (VHF), ultra-high frequency (UHF), and L-band frequency ranges.
Key players in the military communication market are focusing on the development of innovative connectivity solutions, such as electronic beam-steering technology, to meet the evolving requirements of military communication and enhance their market profitability. Electronic beam-steering technology involves adjusting the direction of a transmitted or received electromagnetic signal without physically moving the antenna. For instance, in September 2021, Kymeta, a US-based communications company, launched the u8 MIL hybrid terminal, a ruggedized and adaptable solution designed for military communications-on-the-move (COTM) and networks-on-the-move (NOTM). The camouflaged u8 MIL terminal utilizes Kymeta's electronic beam-steering technology, facilitating easy mounting on vehicles and vessels. Complying with military standards, the terminal includes features such as shock mounts, military-grade connectors, and Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC), making it suitable for mission-critical operations.
In March 2022, BAE Systems plc, a UK-based aerospace company, completed the acquisition of Bohemia Interactive Simulations for $200 million. This acquisition enhances BAE Systems' modeling and simulation capabilities and strengthens its systems integration approach. Bohemia Interactive Simulations, a Czech Republic-based company specializing in training and simulation software for defense and civilian organizations, produces high-fidelity, cost-effective simulation software solutions and components for communication and defense applications.
