Military Communications are a Key Capability

The success in the war has shifted towards better situational awareness, which was previously skewed towards asset capability. The combination of inputs from various forces helps the headquarters to take tactical decisions based on data driven inputs. The military communication also focusses on ear marking friendlies apart from marking enemy positions. The IFF systems helps in identifying the friendlies, thereby reducing friendly fires.

The communications have evolved from runners to SATCOM which has eased the transfer of information to a faster and more reliable form. However, supporting this communication infrastructure for the defense applications was becoming a costly challenge. In recent times, the defense departments across the major countries are in the process of increasing the COTS adoption for defense application. It is estimated that more than 70% of the defense communication was through commercial bandwidth. The commercial satellite companies are also ensuring that the commercial satellites meet Military standards to cater to the defense pie of the business.
