The European Ministries of Defence (MODs) are increasingly adopting integrated tactical network (TacNet) system.The European Tactical Communication (TACCOM) market is forecast to be worth $1,582 million in 2018, and grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% between 2008 and 2018.The the industry is undergoing expansion, and major radio companies are branching out to SATCOM terminal and network market, in order to capture some share of the burgeoning space-based communications segment. SATCOM is poised to galvanise the demand for HCDRs and SDRs, the two essential elements of networked communications.

The European first responders’ C3I market is undergoing a shift in the adoption of new technologies that link legacy systems as well as implement next-generation solutions. With increasing public and private initiatives, the growth opportunity is immense in this market. Throughout the last decade, the European first responders’ C3I market has witnessed occasional implementation of new technologies. Post 9/11 and 7/7 attacks, there is a greater focus on interoperable communications and other technologies that network agencies and hospitals as well as increase the efficiency, productivity and communications capabilities of first responders. Though accessibility can prove difficult at times of crises, a growth in central, state and local funding as well as organisational policies has given new impetus to all related technologies, from communications and monitoring devices to associated software and hardware systems.

Network centric warfare focuses on the application of technology to increase situational awareness and to speed up communications through networks for improving the effectiveness of military operations. Through this capability, smaller combat units can be used more independently and effectively. As per the concept, multiple technologies are harnessed to the network. This includes surveillance and sensor technologies, communication networks and battle-end segments that execute the mission. This study provides an executive analysis of specific related technologies that are the mainstay towards a network centric warfare capability.

U.S. State & Local Emergency Response C3 Market Overview covers the command & control and communications technology used at the state and local level to manage and respond to emergencies. The research service identifies the major market dynamics that are currently influencing growth (driver, restraints, trends and challenges) as well as providing an overall competitive assessment. In addition, the research service contains a spending forecasts and overview of state and local programs across the United States. The period for the study is 2008 to 2013, with 2008 as the base year.

The future of the command and control technology will lie in the enhancement of the current capabilities while keeping the easiness of use. The need for sophisticated systems that can easily be operated with just a short training and are capable of commanding all sorts of equipment will be the main requirement of European navies. The complexity of the system will of course depend on the tasks a ship has to fulfill, on the sensor and equipment suit and on the ability to upgrade the system, but still all navies will value most price competitive and easy upgradeable solutions.

Communication is a fundamental enabler in modern warfare. The chain of command and control (C2) from political to strategic, down to tactical level depends on seamless transfer of information, for which a secured communication backbone is absolutely fundamental. STRATCOM forms that fundamental backbone, and interconnects all the platforms in a battle environment facilitating C2 and decision making for the superior commanders. On the other hand, tactical comm. interconnects all war fighters in a theatre environment where a force of division size or below usually operates. It eventually forms a loop to the STRATCOM backbone enabling seamless connectivity between theatres of operations.
