A man-portable communication system is a compact and robust amplification system used in field and defense communications. It is used for secure voice and data applications with anti-jamming features and reduces noise such as military tanks, vehicles, sirens, and crowds to generate a clear message. The lifecycle of the man-portable communication system is approximately ten years. The upgradation related to software and hardware is done in the midlife of the systems and is interdependent on the lifecycle of each other. The future of man-portable communication systems will be software-defined radios and tiny aperture terminals (VSATs). The global man-portal communication systems is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period.

Top Driver: Soldier Level Information Required by Command and Control (C2) Systems

One of the prominent factors driving the man-portable communication systems market is the soldier level information required by command and control (C2) systems. The C2 systems are based on service-oriented architecture and built on common data standards. C2 systems integrate applications that enable the commanders and staff to exchange a large number of tactical information between the forces. Another factor propelling the growth of a man-portable communication systems market is the increasing demand for advanced communication systems with weight, reduced size, and power consumption in defense applications.

Land Segment to Make Crucial Contribution to Growth of Market

On the basis of platform, the market can be segmented into Land, Airborne, Naval. The land segment occupied the largest market share owing to the increasing demand for communication. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into Software Defined Radios, SATCOM, Encryption, Smartphones, Commercial.

Rising Investments to Benefit North America Market

The global market has been classified majorly into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and the Rest of the World (RoW). The North American region is anticipated to gain the largest market for global man-portable communication systems. The United States has increased defense spending in the world, making North America one of the highest market for man-portable communication systems. The global market in the Asia Pacific regions is also anticipated to gain a surge growth due to the emerging economies such as India and China.

Players to Focus on Man-Portable Communication Systems Market

The global market is expected to stay fragmented with the increase in the number of new entrants in the coming years. Rockwell Collins, General Dynamics Corporation, Codan Ltd., Aselsan, L-3 Communication Holdings Inc., ITT Corporation, Thales Group, Saab AB, Harris Corporation, and ViaSat among others could be at the forefront of the competition in the global market.

Rockwell Collins: In recent years, Rockwell Collins was awarded a contract for Electronic Counter-Counter Measure (ECCM) radio modules by Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL). The component hardware card sets will be integrated into ground-based Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radios for use by the Indian Defence for Command and Control of ground-to-ground and ground-to-air communications. The contract also includes GPS hand-held receivers, featuring easy-to-use Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and moving maps for portable precision navigation capability.

Harris Corporation: In June 2019, Harris Corporation and L3 Technologies, Inc. had agreed to combine in an all stock merger of equals to create a global defense technology leader, focused on developing differentiated and mission critical solutions for customers around the world. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, L3 shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 1.30 shares of Harris common stock for each share of L3 common stock, consistent with the 60-trading day average exchange ratio of the two companies
