All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The global tactical communication market is valued at over $13 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of more than 3% during the forecast period of 2022-2031. The global tactical communication market is expected to be led by North America, followed by Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Platform-based has the highest share of segments, followed by stationary, and man-portable. The key companies in the global tactical communication market include Thales SA, L3Harris Technologies, Northrop Grumman Corp, and others.
The expenditure on this sector is anticipated to be driven by the changing warfare scenario from conventional to asymmetric warfare which necessitates sustained investment in the domain to ensure network centricity and a parallel adoption of modern networking capabilities. Factors such as coordination with allies, situational awareness of warfighters, and constant information relay with the base stations and associated platforms only augment the demand for improved communication systems. Most of the major military forces are investing in improving the communications network for their armed forces and in the process providing a significant opportunity for OEMs that manufacture tactical communication equipment.

What are the market dynamics of the global tactical communication market?
Though the defense budgets are increasing at a slow pace in most countries globally, spending on C4ISR systems is poised to increase significantly, leading to a steady rise in demand for tactical communication equipment over the forecast period. The move towards a greater international presence by the European Union (EU) and NATO forces, coupled with a desire for interoperability, has compelled Europe’s governments to increase their spending on C4ISR systems, with a strong focus on tactical communication systems. Several countries in the region have undertaken programs to upgrade or replace their existing tactical radios. For example, the UK is replacing its Bowman communications systems, which have been used by the British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force for the past three decades, through its Morpheus program. France is also investing in its CONTACT tactical radio modernization program, which aims to equip the country’s fleet of navy ships, aircraft and military vehicles with advanced software-defined radio systems.
Amplifiers are electronic devices that increase the voltage, current, or the power of a signal. To reduce operator controls and interface, continued improvements have been made to the amplifiers to allow auto-tuning. These third-generation units are expected to provide maximum output with minimum power usage, making it operable with just about any single or multi-band “handy-talkie” transceiver. High-speed electronically switched filters ensure that the system can keep up with hopping modes of operation and keep minimum interference to and from other nearby communications systems.
Quantum communication will be a major focus for defense organizations in the coming years and a source of significant investment to counter advances in quantum cryptanalysis, which poses a significant threat to the security of future communication. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), as well as providing advanced encryption, can also provide information about when communications have been intercepted, thereby increasing the security of current communications. China currently has an edge in communications through ground-based QKD and the development of quantum technology in satellites. Large-scale quantum decryption is not thought to be imminent, with the first signs likely coming around 2030 – the bigger change will be the ability to increasingly encrypt information through QKD in a way that cannot be accessed by foreign adversaries.
What is the segment classification in the global tactical communication market?
The market consists of three categories: platform-based, stationary, and man-portable. Over the forecast period, the market is expected to be dominated by the platform-based segment, followed by stationary, and man-portable.
Driven by large-scale procurement as well as upgrade programs that are being undertaken by several nations across the world, the platform-based segment is expected to increase at a considerable pace in the global market over the forecast period.
