Home > Market Research > Defence > Military Communications and COTS 2008: Analysing the Expanding Defence-Related Market :: Visiongain
Military communications remain an essential part of security operations. The technology extends in range from equipping military personnel with devices so they can communicate on operations to providing centralised systems for organising battle and security operations on land, sea and in the air. Today, all military forces rely heavily on sophisticated electronic communications systems, with technology transfer to and from civilian communications systems, both those in use and those in development. This reliance on advanced communications will increase year on year. You and your organisation must be fully informed of these developments.
For units out in the field, digital radio � such as the U.S. Military�s ambitious joint tactical radio system (JTRS) � promises improved, programmable communications links. That system extends beyond voice-only communications to include the exchange of data and video messaging during battle and security operations. For linking all these systems in reliable, high-performing and secure networks, satellite and high-bandwidth terrestrial communications will exert an increasingly sophisticated and important role in military operations from 2008 onwards. This new visiongain report, Military Communications and COTS 2008, describes both the technologies and the relevant markets in detail, along with cost-effectiveness, with relevant data and informed opinion. This information is valuable to both defence procurement operations and to relevant technology providers.
At the heart of many emerging military communications systems are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, such as 3G and WiMax. Many military organisations are interested in the synergies and cost-savings from such products and technologies. The commercial opportunities for relevant technology providers are great, visiongain concludes, especially as military spending continues to rise strongly in many countries around the world.
Why You Should Buy This Report:
This new visiongain report offers a detailed study of communications products and technologies that are poised to influence military operations heavily over the next 5 years and beyond. Military Communications and COTS 2008 discusses the following aspects of that important market:
� The emerging technologies that are transforming military communications, with both technological and commercial aspects discussed
� Forecasts for the military communications market globally and in the leading US sector
� Discussion of military communications projects in 11 countries identified as being among the world�s largest defence markets, with data and analysis of prospects there for communications suppliers
� An analysis of the major agencies and bodies involved in defence communication design and procurement.
In light of the expected strong growth of the military communications sector from 2008-2013 and beyond, companies that are already active in communications technologies are well positioned to benefit from those opportunities. This report is relevant both to companies already specialising in military electronic applications and to those interested in military applications of existing technology. The technology may be already commercialised or still under development.
If you work in this industry then you really need to get to grips with this concept before you get left behind. Act today and order your copy of this innovative report.
