Global Military Mobile Computing Systems Market 2016-2020

This market research report identifies players like BAE, General Dynamics, Harris, Rockwell Collins, and Thales to be the key vendors in the global military mobile computing systems market. This research report also presents a detailed segmentation of the market by systems (radio, smartphones, tablets, and PCs and laptops) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global military mobile computing systems market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global military mobile computing systems market to grow at a CAGR of more than 7% by 2020. One of the primary drivers for this market’s growth is the growing requirement of software-defined radios (SDR) technology. It is upgradeable, flexible, offers cheap multistandard terminals, and has a long lifetime for military wireless communications infrastructure. Also, it meets the demand for secure and reliable communications in defense applications. Some of the major factors driving the demand for SDR technology are the surging need for tactical communications, interoperability, real-time data communications, modernization programs, and size, weight, power (SWAP) benefits. Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) is one of the most successful military ventures that uses the SDR technology. It is a universal full duplex radio module that can be used across all the platforms and can be configured in the real-time field to provide flexibility, versatility, efficiency, and longer operating life from a single set battery. It provides a single platform for communication by lowering the number of radios to carry around. 

One of the latest trends gaining momentum in the market is the increasing use of network-centric warfare. It provides machine-to-machine, sensor, radar, and other computing system communications allowing data exchange to scrutinize, plan, and make intelligent decisions. It offers several benefits such as secure communications, improved safety of combatants, productive campaigns, intelligence decisions, and significant results. The mobile computing systems help the military forces to achieve real-time and untethered interactions between the soldiers, decision-makers, government agencies with machines.
