Increase in Demand for Advanced Battlefield Communication Systems
The increase in demand for advanced battlefield communication systems is driven by the need for military forces to operate effectively in complex and challenging environments. Recent developments in the military communication market have seen a growing focus on developing advanced communication systems that are capable of operating in these environments. For example, the US Army's HMS program aims to provide soldiers with a secure and reliable means of communication in the field, with advanced voice, data, and video capabilities. This program also includes the ability to connect with unmanned systems and satellite communications, providing soldiers with enhanced situational awareness and the ability to communicate across a wide range of platforms.

Another recent development in the military communication market is the emergence of 5G technology. 5G technology has the potential to significantly enhance military communication capabilities, with its high data transfer rates and low latency. The US Army has already started to test 5G technology for military use, with the goal of improving communication capabilities and enhancing situational awareness on the battlefield.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Military Communications & COTS Market?
the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the military communications & COTS market, leading to increased demand for remote communication and collaboration, disruption in the global supply chain, a focus on cost-effective solutions, and accelerated adoption of digital technologies. The market is expected to continue to adapt and evolve in response to these challenges, with a growing focus on advanced technologies and cost-effective solutions that can support military operations in a rapidly changing world

The economic impact of the pandemic has led to a growing focus on cost-effective solutions in the military communications & COTS market. With defense budgets under pressure, militaries around the world are looking for ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency. This has led to increased interest in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies and other cost-effective solutions that can deliver similar performance to traditional military communication systems.

The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies in the military communications & COTS market. With the need for remote communication and collaboration, militaries are increasingly turning to digital technologies, such as cloud computing and software-defined networking (SDN), to support their operations. This has led to increased investment in these technologies and a growing trend towards the adoption of more advanced, digital communication systems

What are the Current Market Drivers?

Growing Use of Unmanned Aerial and Ground Vehicles
The growing use of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles in military operations is driving the demand for communication systems that are specifically designed to support these systems. Recent developments in the military communication market have seen an increasing focus on developing these systems, which require reliable and secure communication channels to transmit data back to military command centers. For instance, 28th March 2023, The largest vertical takeoff drone in India is now being tested on the ground. In two months, the important "Cruise Test" will take place. The specially designed container truck from Chennai was used to transport the all-electric unmanned aerial vehicle (e-UAV) to Bengaluru. It was created by The ePlane Corporation and incubated at IIT-Madras. Its ability to drive up to 200km at a speed of 160km/hr using lithium-ion batteries is a major plus.

Increasing Need for Interoperability and Scalability
The need for greater interoperability and scalability in military communication systems is driven by the requirement for military forces to operate effectively in coalition operations and to accommodate changes in the size of military operations. Recent developments in the military communication market have seen an increasing focus on developing communication systems that offer greater interoperability and scalability. The US Army's unified tactical network is an example of such a system. The network provides a common network infrastructure for all military units, with open architecture and COTS-based technologies that allow for greater interoperability and scalability across different military units and systems.
