Research and Markets has added Frost & Sullivan’s new report Military Satellite Communications – Business and R&D Prospects to its offerings.
Presently, satellite communications are the core of all military communications, especially during wars on foreign territory and unfriendly terrains. Contemporary satellite links support a significant amount of IP traffic, especially video feeds and high-resolution imagery, apart from conventional voice communications. The emergence of new applications such as communications-on-the-move (COTM) and ballistic missile defense are opening considerable business opportunities for technology vendors and solution developers in the MILSATCOM sector. The report also notes that technological developments such as improved satellite network communications protocols and novel compact antennas with signal locking capabilities are greatly speeding up the adoption of COTM solutions. COTM vendors feel hopeful as several militaries are keen on obtaining advanced communication capabilities. Moreover, there is a high demand for compact, transportable, and easily deployable satellite antennas, especially in vehicle-mounted configurations.
