Across all the major defence markets, government spending has increased steadily since the late 1990's. Increasingly contracts are going to firms from the commercial-sector, especially those involved in the provision of communications technology, such as Vodafone; Motorola and BT.
This report outlines the major changes in the defence communication technology market. It provides an analysis of the political, financial and technological reasons for this change and offers an in depth study of the world defence market.
An exhaustive study of Commercial Off The Shelf communications components, and the rise of their use within military systems is provided. This includes an appraisal of the technology, the possible pitfalls in transposing its use for military purposes and the various ways in which these problems can be minimised and avoided. Real life recent examples of COTS military transposition are given, with details of the financial implications for the companies involved.
PLUS we analyse what the top five markets are doing about this, in detail. This includes:
a clear description of how the defence departments of each country are organised
an analysis of the major agencies and bodies involved in defence communication technology design and procurement.
With L-3 and Lockheed both having been awarded large scale communications contracts, who will be next to win future projects such as the UK's FIST?
This report includes predictions of future markets, projects and technologies that are open to commercial communications companies within the defence sphere - how can you and your organisation ensure you are part of these projects?
