Key Drivers of Target Market:

Role of SATCOM in Defense

• SATCOM is important component in Defense. Military operations requires long distances reaching radio signals for communication on military transport and with defense equipment. SATCOM helps for transmitting radio traffic into a satellite in space, after reaching to the space it send back towards the recipient on the Earth. SATCOM helps to avoid barriers during communication in between long distances.
• For Instance, in February 2024, The Luxembourg Directorate of Defense (DoD) procured two ground stations following a competitive call for tender to enable the Luxembourg Army to improve its resilience by accessing secure satellite communications services. It will be used for Luxembourg’s GovSat-1 satellite services in X- and Military Ka-band frequencies, as well as for the Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) system.

Property of Covering Wide Geographic Area

• One of the major advantage of military SATCOM ground terminal is its ability to cover a wide range of geographic area. SATCOM is not limited by any barriers such as mountainous terrain or the curvature of the Earth. Satellite signals easy transmitted across the continents as well as oceans. This properties makes the SATCOM more ideal and perfect for long-distance communications, broadcasting, navigation, and among others.

Restrains:

High Power Requirements

• Communicating in space through the long distances needs high transmission power as well as huge satellites antennas. Satellite equipment requires higher energy as compared to the terrestrial systems.

Opportunities:

Economies of Growth in Infancy

• Emerging markets in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific regions, which consider largest defense sector, increasing investments in satellite technology, government support and policies, as growing factors, create major opportunities for the market's growth.

Development of Novel Applications

• The multifunctional ability of SATCOM with many military applications such as real-time communications, navigation, intelligence gathering, missile warning, and weather instructions helps to boost the market in upcoming years
