Tactical Communication Global Market Report 2024

Tactical communications pertain to military communication activities conducted on the battlefield, particularly during combat scenarios. These communications involve the transmission of various types of information, predominantly commands and military intelligence. The primary objective is to safeguard highly sensitive information and maintain regular communication in challenging and dynamic environments.

The main types of products utilized in tactical communication include networking radios, multiband radiosatcom (satellite communication), video processors, and other related products. Networking radios, also known as network radios or two-way radios, are communication devices specifically designed for wireless communication between users over short to medium distances. Tactical communication systems are deployed across various platforms, including underwater tactical communication systems, airborne tactical communication systems, land tactical communication systems, and shipborne tactical communication systems. These systems often incorporate technologies such as time division multiplexing and next-generation networks. Tactical communication systems serve a range of applications, including integrated strategic resources, communication, combat, command and control, and others.

The tactical communication market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.56 billion in 2023 to $21.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased investments, and a rise in spending on military equipment.

The tactical communication market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. Forecasted growth is driven by government support, urbanization, and defense spending, with trends including data-sharing for market strength, new product launches, technological advancements, high-speed communication focus, AI integration, tactical radio extenders, and partnerships for expanded product offerings and geographic presence.

The anticipated surge in government spending for military purposes is projected to significantly boost the tactical communication market in the foreseeable future. Military applications encompass a spectrum of activities such as research, development, testing, and procurement of tactical vehicles, vessels, aircraft, equipment, and weaponry by government armed forces. Tactical communications play a pivotal role in military applications, facilitating the exchange of vital information on the battlefield, including orders and intelligence. The uptick in government expenditure for military applications is set to elevate the tactical communications market. For example, an April 2022 report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) indicated a real-term increase of 0.7% in total global military expenditure in 2021, surpassing $2.1 trillion, with Russia's military spending rising by 2.9% to $65.9 billion. This upsurge in spending is expected to propel the growth of the tactical communication market.

Government backing is anticipated to be a key driver in steering the growth trajectory of the tactical communication market. Various countries' governments are actively supporting the tactical communication sector, aiming to foster novel solutions that better cater to the industry's needs. For instance, in June 2022, the Canadian government extended its support by providing in-service assistance for vehicles valued at approximately $245 million. This included 39 Armored Combat Support Vehicles (ACSVs), along with supplementary armor and a radio communication system, coupled with in-service support encompassing spare parts, maintenance, technical documentation, and training. Furthermore, in July 2023, the Australian Government granted initial approval for the LAND 200 Phase 3 Battlefield Command Systems project, intending to enhance the Australian Defense Force's tactical communications network and battle management systems for heightened security and performance. The growing governmental support is anticipated to catalyze the demand for the tactical communication market.

Technological advancements have emerged as a prominent trend in the tactical communications market. Key players within this market are prioritizing the development of innovative technological solutions to solidify their positions. For instance, Thuraya, a regional mobile and satellite service provider based in the United Arab Emirates, unveiled T-TAC in March 2023. T-TAC represents a novel tactical radio extender over satellite solution, a collaborative effort with Cobham Satcom, a Denmark-based company specializing in radio and satellite communication equipment for land and maritime sectors. This cutting-edge system facilitates seamless communication across land, sea, and air operators by employing a sophisticated generic converter unit, allowing users to communicate via satellite using tactical radios and push-to-talk (PTT) devices. Engineered for portability during movement or halts, the solution boasts low power consumption. Thuraya considers it an industry-leading tactical radio solution, showcasing the company's commitment to pioneering technology.

Major players in the tactical communication market are dedicated to launching new products to augment productivity and gain a competitive edge. For example, in May 2023, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory introduced a cubesat equipped with a Link 16 tactical communications radio. This innovation aims to enhance tactical communications capabilities within the low Earth orbit. By considering the deployment of Link 16 nodes in orbit, the U.S. military seeks to expand the network's coverage. Link 16, an encrypted tactical data protocol, is utilized in military radios to enable communication between ships, aircraft, and ground vehicles through text, voice, and images.

In April 2022, Codan Limited, an Australia-based communication company, successfully acquired Domo Tactical Communications (DTC) for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aligns with Codan Limited's well-established strategic growth plan, enabling the company to enhance its presence in the tactical communications sector. The acquisition positions Codan Limited to offer comprehensive voice, data, and video communication solutions.
