Military Portable Communication Systems Market Analysis

The Man-portable Military Communication Systems Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 3.4% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent travel restrictions and lockdowns have caused disruptions in the supply chains of various players in the market. However, players have adjusted their operations in response to the pandemic in the latter half of the year, which has resulted in mitigating the pandemic's impact on the market.

Global military spending witnessed an increase of 2.6% in 2020 despite the fall in the global GDP, according to SIPRI. Though this is an encouraging factor for the market, defense spending may come down in the near future due to the global economic turndown triggered by the pandemic. This may challenge the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The growing focus on asymmetric warfare is forcing the militaries to develop their battlefield communication capabilities. The need for enhanced situational awareness, the necessity of quick command and control information availability at the individual soldier level, and the growing demand for more bandwidths are propelling the adoption of newer generation man-portable military communication systems.

The evolution of faster satellite-based communication and the advent of newer-generation portable SATCOM devices that are highly effective even in contested environments are anticipated to propel the demand for man-portable military communication systems during the forecast period.

Military Portable Communication Systems Industry Overview

L3Harris Technologies Inc., General Dynamics Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Elbit Systems Ltd, and Thales Group are some of the prominent players in the market. The defense manufacturing companies worldwide are focused on designing and developing inexpensive and lightweight man-portable communication systems to reduce the burden on dismounted infantrymen. Also, there is a huge focus on man-portable communication systems that are secure and can communicate over a large portion of the spectrum while supporting multiple protocols. Thus, a high level of R&D is required to produce man-portable military communication solutions that incorporate newer technologies and lightweight materials to improve the effectiveness of the mission and the agility of the soldier. Players are currently focusing on such technologies to develop new products and gain new contracts with the militaries, thereby enhancing their market presence and growth. In addition, there is also an increased focus on developing indigenous systems. For instance, the Indian Army is working on revamping its communication systems by procuring indigenous Very/Ultra High Frequency (V/UHF) Manpack SDRs under the Make-II category. Such developments are expected to drive the growth of the local players during the forecast period.

Military Portable Communication Systems Market News

In January 2021, Thales announced that it had been awarded its third delivery order from the US Army to provide the AN/PRC-148D Improved Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio (IMBITR) under the Army Leader Radio program. The latest award brings the total IMBITR radio orders to more than 6,000.

In December 2020, L3Harris announced that it had received a USD 57 million order from the US Army to continue delivering its Falcon IV AN/PRC-163 two-channel handheld radios. The deliveries of the radios were expected to begin in early 2021. The Falcon IV AN/PRC-163 radios are capable of satellite communications, mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) waveforms, and the Army's SINCGARS waveform.

In October 2020, Viasat Inc., a global communications company, announced that it had released a new, advanced configuration of its handheld Link 16 Battlefield Awareness and Targeting System - Dismounted (BATS-D) radio. The BATS-D is said to be the world's first and only handheld Link 16 radio.
