Tactical Communication Market: By Product Type (Soldier Radio, Manpack, Vehicular Intercommunication Radio, High-Capacity Data Radio), By Platform (Airborne, Shipborne, Land, Underwater), By Technology (Time-Division Multiplexing, Next-Generation Network), By Application (Integrated Strategic Resources, Communications, Combat, Command & Control, Others) and Geography  

Tactical Communication Market size was valued at USD 15,643.9 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2024 to 2030. Tactical Communication is military communication in which information of any kind especially orders and military intelligence, is conveyed from one person, command, or place to another upon a battlefield, especially during the conduct of combat. The swift move toward disproportionate warfare is forcing the armed forces to grow their tactical communication competencies. To increase combat efficiency, the global military forces are aiming to augment the network-based communication competencies of their military platforms from corner to corner in the land, air, and sea domains, which is driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising investments toward the integration of innovative battlefield technologies and development in demand for network-centric warfare and satellite-based communication are expected to thrust the demand in the tactical communication market during the forecast period. For instance, as demonstrated by SIPRI, global military spending perceived a rise of 2.7% in 2020, although the fall in the global GDP. Moreover, owing to the advancements in software-defined platforms, the increasing demand for digitalized products and standards comprising DMR, Tetra, and P25 due to several advantages in the analog products is anticipated to robust the growth of the tactical communication arcade.

Moreover, the Tactical communication system is responsible for enhanced flexibility to the military by decreasing the overall weight of the system and offering high mobility to soldiers on the battlefield. It provides price reduction and power to robust the communications with wide reachability, which is anticipated to emphasize the demand over the forecast period. It is a strong and compact extension technology used in defense and field communications. it is deployed for secure voice and data applications with anti-jamming features, which in turn drive the tactical communication market. Moreover, the collaboration between the armed forces and market players is anticipated to drive the market in the future years. However, the complications associated with the tactical communication market are High power consumption, high cost associated with the fabrication of tactical radios, hackers prone owing to broadcast nature, limited number of available frequency bands, expensive transmitters remains a substantial barrier that hampers the growth of tactical communication in the forecast period. However, the key opportunities associated with tactical communication systems are cybersecurity concerns, rapid development and mobility, Urban warfare, and counterinsurgency operations.

Tactical Communication Market key Develoopments:

• In February 2021, the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) sign up a convention for the tracking down of Software Defined Radio Tactical (SDR-Tac) worth approximately USD 139 million.
