Military manpack and vehicular radios: Key market research findings
- Rise in demand for MAVs
- introduction of inflatable satellite communication
Technavio has released a new market research report on the global military manpack and vehicular radios market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% by 2020. Military manpack and vehicular radio systems are advanced mobile communication solutions used for the transmission and reception of voice and data signals. Man-portable and vehicle-mounted radio systems are enhancing the safety and capability of defense units. APAC dominates the global market for military manpacks and vehicular radios, accounting for 40% of the total market share. Countries in the APAC are makinh huge investments on navigation and communication systems to facilitate smooth transfer of information during combat or non-combat operations.
The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
“One of the latest trends gaining significance in the market is the rise in demand for micro air vehicles (MAVs). MAVs are portable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that are equipped with features like autopilot, navigation system, airframe, engine, sensor package, and communication link. Since these vehicles are smaller in size, they are more cost effective than manned aircraft and standard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),” says Abhay Singh, Lead Analyst, Aerospace & Defense, Technavio Research.
The market is witnessing the introduction of inflatable satellite communication, owing to high-capacity global networks and innovations in satellite technology. These antennas have the transmission power advantages of a large antenna and are low weight and portable. These satellites are deployed at the locations where movement and installation of standard rigid satellite antennas are challenging. The portable satellite communication antenna system is also equipped with a back-packable antenna, which provides high-bandwidth communications for secure and non-secure voice, video, and data transmissions.
The key players in the global military manpack and vehicular radios market are BARRETT Communications, Finmeccanica, Harris, Radmor, and Thales. The market is highly competitive as the vendors in this market compete on the basis of cost, product quality, reliability, and aftermarket services. In order to survive and succeed in this market, it is crucial for vendors to provide cost-effective high-quality manpacks and vehicular radio systems with latest technology and materials.
