Airborne SATCOM Market
Frequently Asked Questions of Airborne SATCOM Market
6. 6/13
How does the military use satellite communications?
Defense SATCOM is used to communicate with remote defense assets and personnel
What is the key trend in the SATCOM market?
One of the key trends is the use of commercial SATCOM service
How many SATCOM satellites are there?
It is estimated that there are more than 1800 communication satellites in orbit around the
earth
7. 7/13
What is SATCOM equipment?
SATCOM equipment is an integral part of communication in the commercial and defense
industry. It consists of transceiver and processing unit.
What are major SATCOM companies?
Some of the major SATCOM companies are general dynamics, L3 harris, Thales, ST
engineering, Hughes and Aselsan
As the military evolves into a force centered on sophisticated platforms with high bandwidth
needs used to support networked operations at greater distances, satellite communications
will become an increasingly important capability. In conclusion, the utilization of space has
increasingly become a necessary prerequisite for many other types of contingencies,
particularly those at the upper end of the war-fighting spectrum. Complete resilience against
a broad range of changing counter-space threats, taking into account the emerging realities
of space as a contested battlefield. This entails creating a airborne satcom market satellite
constellation in space that is optimized to withstand anti-satellite operations that may use a
variety of direct-ascent missiles, electronic warfare (jamming), and co-orbital anti-satellite
operations.
Airborne SATCOM Market is important for communications networks as military forces
increasingly rely on space-based assets to complete their missions, thus increasing the
Airborne SATCOM market size. This ensures that users are always connected and prepared
for the growing amount of data that will be collected and disseminated on the ground, in the
air, and in orbit. Airborne SATCOM market size allows an expanded picture for decision-
making and an unbroken flow of data. ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance)
footage from military aircraft can be streamed in high definition to troops on the ground or at
other command centers. To keep everyone informed and prepared for action, airborne
command and control and tactical communications are used, such as transmitting real-time
information to troops above drop zones and in enemy sites. Through videoconferencing,
phone, and data communication, commanders in flight can undertake mission planning and
will always be aware of what is happening, ready to carry out strategic decisions at a
moment’s notice.
Major factors driving Airborne SATCOM Market Growth
Proliferation of UAVs will be one of the primary drivers for the airborne SATCOM market
growth. As drones continue to replace manned platforms, the airborne SATCOM market
growth will continue to increase. The airborne SATCOM market forecast the increasing
demand for net-centric warfare capability will also drive the growth of airborne satellite
communications market.
Trends influencing the Airborne-SATCOM Market Size
8. 8/13
One of the most difficult problems with airborne COTM is providing high-speed
communication through small mobile antennas. Low gain characteristics are a need for
COTM sub-one meter antennas. To ensure that the receiving terminal can hear the remote
above the background noise emitted when the satellite amplifies the signal, more power is
needed. Small antennas used to transmit these high-rate messages sometimes interfere with
nearby satellites that may be operating at the same frequency and polarization. Proliferation
of UAV systems will significantly influence the growth of the market.
Airborne-SATCOM Market Forecast & Dynamics
Airborne SATCOM market trends Increasing need for low-latency airborne SATCOM will
continue to drive the market. Increasing defense spending will drive the market for new
procurement activities and upgrades to existing platforms with newer technologies and
airborne SATCOM market trends. Demand for persistent and resilient SATCOM systems will
continue to be a significant driver for the airborne SATCOM market.
Airborne SATCOM Market Analysis for Recent Developments
Airborne SATCOM market reports, Get SAT Acquires Multi-Million Dollar Contract with US
Government. Get SAT, a pioneer in lightweight satellite communication terminals for ground,
airborne, and maritime applications, today announced that, in collaboration with R4
Integration, the leading supplier of airborne roll-on/roll-off communication systems for U.S.
and partner government aircraft, it has received a multi-million dollar contract from a U.S.
Government agency to provide satellite communication for C-130 aircraft.
Airborne SATCOM market reports, Airborne ISR Satcom Services Contract for $52 Million
Awarded to ViaSat. Utilizing Ku- and Ka-band satcom communications, typical operational
data rates off the aircraft vary from 1 to 8 Mbps. These systems have flown over 500,000
mission hours on over 300 government aircraft, including the C-130, C-17, U-28, and
different King Air variants.
Airborne SATCOM market analysis, the French Defense Purchasing Agency (DGA) has
given Thales and its partners the 17-year MELISSA2 contract for the development,
integration, and support of aircraft satcom stations as part of France’s SYRACUSE IV military
satellite telephony programme. Thales will deliver a robust, high-data-rate satellite station
capable of connecting substantial military aircraft in all situations to satisfy the French Air and
Space Force’s connectivity requirements as high-intensity conflict reemerges. The Thales
terminal is based on a satcom device that has successfully completed over 30,000
commercial flight hours. The militarized version is especially made to stay connected to
command centers when operating in congested areas and under adverse flying and weather
circumstances.

Airborne SATCOM market analysis, as part of the Navy’s Take Charge and Move Out
(TACAMO) Weapons System, Collins Aerospace has been given the contract to create a
Very Low Frequency (VLF) communication system for the E-6B Recapitalization Program (E-
XX). For the upgrading of the aerial VLF system in support of the capabilities needed by the
Airborne Strategic Command, Control, and Communications Program Office (PMA-271), the
contract offers developmental design and risk reduction engineering work. The system that
was created as a result of the development work has improved security features to handle
advanced and new threats. In order to comply with SWaP-C standards for VLF system
integration into a C-130J-30 aircraft as part of initial platform testing, this risk reduction effort
is being made.
