Global Military Mobile Computing Systems Market Customer Landscape
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
A greater focus on ISR operations is the key factor driving the global military mobile computing systems market growth. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations are a critical aspect of military missions and the collection and analysis of this information aid decision-making in high-risk operations. Surveillance includes real-time monitoring of the activities and actions of military authorities and armed forces to observe their critical movements. Surveillance uses systems with sensors to generate images or videos of the field. Reconnaissance is an intelligence-gathering activity used to assess enemy forces' resources and terrain. These activities are closely related and together contribute to the commander's situational awareness.
Today, India regularly uses its maritime reconnaissance capabilities to track troop movements and destroy infrastructure in the wake of rising tensions between the two countries (India and China) along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The importance of such operations has created a significant need for mobile military computing equipment. This will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The ongoing digitization of battlefield operations will fuel the global military mobile computing systems market growth. Digitizing Battlefield means a system where components are integrated, evaluated, acquired, and updated together as much as possible. The introduction of information-based weapon systems that can provide combat vehicle crews with effective firepower and a knowledge base, allowing both on-board and external sensors and weapons to be coordinated and deployed, has been adopted by militaries around the world. Due to this, current tactics, techniques, and procedures will be transformed. Missile detection and counter-terrorism are major applications of connected technology. These network technologies provide the end user with automated target surveillance at remote locations and surveillance with map-based situational awareness displays. The system will greatly enhance military surveillance capabilities by giving military units the ability to remotely detect, locate and detect personnel, vehicles, vessels, and aircraft on runways in all weather conditions. Digitization in areas such as communications and surveillance plays a key role in joint operations on the modern battlefield.
Most developed nations have already adopted electronic warfare as part of their defense strategies and are actively researching advanced capabilities to equip their armies to gain a tactical advantage over their rivals. Hence, increasing focus on digitization by militaries around the world will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Cyber security threats can majorly impede the growth of the market. Armored vehicles and UAVs use several advanced technologies to ensure communication and transfer of information between the platform and controller. Lacking manual onboard support, UAVs and unmanned armored vehicles rely on parameters sent from onboard sensors to determine flight parameters such as speed and altitude. Therefore, if there is interference from an external source that affects one or more flight parameters by altering the data transmitted over the UAV and unmanned armored vehicle data link, the results can be catastrophic. For example, drones operating on unencrypted wireless fidelity networks are vulnerable to outside interference because both devices cannot verify the integrity of the data being transmitted.
Military mobile computer systems based on data transmitted on specific channels require both sender and receiver to use the same specific channel for proper communication. If the enemy knows the channel, they can launch a brute force attack to flood the channel with data and prevent the drone from receiving legitimate signals. An intruder or third party can also send a de-authentication packet to prevent connectivity between the control station and the UAV. This can cause onboard sensor payloads to send false signals or become unusable, leading to loss of control. Therefore, the threat of cyber-attacks on the military mobile computing systems market is high, posing a challenge to its growth.

The products segment will contribute a major share of the market, due to the high demand for highly secure networks, especially in mission-critical operations. The products segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 1,369.35 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Military and defense missions are exposed to harsh environmental conditions and rely on rugged and reliable devices such as mobile and handheld computers. Moreover, market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing deployment of secure mobile communication technologies in the defense sector due to the demand for highly secure networks. Because most operations are remote, defense personnel must send and receive mission-critical information without interruption or interception.

Additionally, the increased demand for mobile computing devices is driven by increased military spending to acquire advanced electronics. This will increase the demand for mobile and handheld computers in the military. Therefore, the use of these products will increase the demand for mobile computing systems for military communications, driving the growth of the market.
The ability of cellular devices to enable effective communication between groups of defense or military personnel has become a key factor in their use in military applications. Geopolitical tensions between countries have significantly increased military spending around the world. Countries such as India, China, France, Saudi Arabia, and the United States are modernizing their military capabilities, increasing the demand for wireless devices for military use. Various providers, such as Thales Group offer radio for military applications, including HF radio, VHF combat network radio, soldier radio, and software-defined multiband radio. Therefore, such product offerings from major providers will drive the growth of the segment and thus the market during the forecast period. Moreover, increased investment in military modernization will boost the adoption of digital land mobile radios, propelling the market growth during the forecast period.
North America is estimated to contribute 43% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.

The North American defense industry is highly developed and dominated by the United States. The United States dominates the market primarily due to its heavy R&D investments in the defense sector. Most defense technology research and development is directed toward developing robust, cost-effective military systems that are essential for critical missions. The US Department of Defense is one of the world's largest purchasers of arms and armor. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) handles all U.S. arms transactions, from raw materials to spares, fuel, food, reuse of military equipment and infrastructure, inventory, and supplier storage and tracking. The US defense budget is double China's military budget and also is more than ten times Russia's defense budget. Thus, the large US defense budget has spurred spending on military equipment, which drives the need for effective communication systems such as military mobile computer systems. This will drive the growth of the market in the North American region during the forecast period.
In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the world leading to an economic downturn that also affected the defense budget of different countries. In 2020, most non-essential, non-urgent production units experienced disruption, including those dealing with defense support equipment such as military radios. However, operations resumed at the vendor's manufacturing unit after massive COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, governments across the world started allocating funds to their defense budget. Such budget allocation, therefore, supported the defense sector globally. All these factors led to positive growth of the market during the forecast period.
