[Via Satellite 09-21-2015] Military satellite communications needs are shifting toward a greater emphasis on mobility and on throughput, according to the latest research from NSR<\/b>. The research firm projects that, despite a disputed spending environment, retail revenues from this sector will surpass $8 billion by 2024, accounting for more than 80 Gbps of High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capacity demand.<\/p>\n
\u201c2018 will be an inflection point for military mobility where a steady shift away from traditional land-centric applications towards maritime and airborne applications will occur,\u201d said Brad Grady, senior analyst and co-author of NSR\u2019s \u201cGovernment and Military Satellite Communications, 12th<\/sup> Edition\u201d report. \u201cThat shift comes not only as battlefield strategies continue to become more mobile, flexible, and rapidly deployable \u2014 but, as the theatre of operations slowly shift to wider conflict zones, and oceanic environments.\u201d<\/p>\n NSR expects narrowband land-mobile applications for troop and vehicle tracking, Command and Control (C2) applications, and other ways of connecting disadvantaged end-users will be the largest source of new in-service units over the next 10 years. The use of Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) X-band and HTS Ka-band will also drive growth. Combined with geostationary-HTS and L-band offerings, NSR projects Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) will account for the majority of retail revenue gain for managed services \u2014 more than 30 percent of this $4 billion market over the next ten years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [Via Satellite 09-21-2015] Military satellite communications needs are shifting toward a greater emphasis on mobility and on throughput, according to the latest research from NSR.
