Abstract
Military communications remain an essential part of security operations. The
technology extends in range from equipping military personnel with devices so
they can communicate on operations to providing centralised systems for
organising battle and security operations on land, sea and in the air.
Nowadays, all military forces rely heavily on sophisticated electronic
communications systems, with technology transfer to and from civilian
communications systems, both those in use and those in development. This
reliance on advanced communications will increase in the years to come,
visiongain notes in its new Military Communications and COTS 2008 report.
For units out in the field, digital radio - such as the U.S. Military' s
ambitious joint tactical radio system (JTRS) - promises improved, programmable
communications links. That system extends beyond voice-only communications to
include the exchange of data and video messaging during battle and security
operations. For linking all these systems in reliable, high-performing and
secure networks, satellite and high-bandwidth terrestrial communications will
exert an increasingly sophisticated and important role in military operations
from 2008 onwards. This new visiongain report, Military Communications and
COTS 2008, describes both the technologies and the relevant markets in detail,
with relevant data and informed opinion. This information is valuable to both
defence procurement operations and to relevant technology providers.
Why You Should Buy This Report:
This new visiongain report offers a detailed study of communications products
and technologies that are poised to influence military operations heavily over
the next 5 years. Military Communications and COTS 2008 discusses the
following aspects of that important market:
- The emerging technologies that are transforming military communications,
with both technological and commercial aspects discussed
- Forecasts for the military communications market worldwide and in the
leading US sector
- Discussion of military communications projects in 11 countries identified
as being among the world' s largest defence markets, with data and analysis of
prospects there for communications suppliers
- An analysis of the major agencies and bodies involved in defence
communication design and procurement.
In light of the expected strong growth of the military communications sector
from 2008-2013 and beyond, companies that are already active in communications
technologies are well positioned to benefit from those opportunities. This
report is relevant both to companies already specialising in military
electronic applications and to those interested in military applications of
existing technology. The technology may be already commercialised or still
under development.
At the heart of many emerging military communications systems are
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, such as 3G and WiMax. Many
military organisations are interested in the synergies and cost-savings from
such products and technologies. The commercial opportunities for relevant
technology providers are great, visiongain concludes, especially as military
spending continues to rise strongly in many countries around the world.
