NORTH AMERICA TACTICAL DATA LINK MARKET FORECAST 2023-2032

The North America tactical data link market scope includes data link type, application, platform, and solution type. The application segment includes situational awareness, command & control, radio communication, electronic warfare, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). 

Command & control are tactical data links used for performing command & control operations by establishing the connection between the computer systems and weapon systems to facilitate the fast and secure exchange of real-time tactical information. In this regard, different tactical digital information links (TADIL) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) links are deployed in the command & control application. The increasing need for enhanced situational awareness to boost military operations propels the command & control application segment growth. 

Situational awareness is a crucial aspect of military communications. It helps armed forces effectively deploy key strategic information across the battlefield and proactively anticipate dangers. Therefore, the growing need for strategic information in real-time drives the command & control application demands. 

Radio communication comprises advanced sensors and systems that facilitate real-time collaborative combating. It is similar to mission-critical communication deployed by armed personnel. Whereas electronic warfare includes jamming electronic communications or electronic sensing. For instance, strategically detecting the communications at some specific frequency and consequently jamming that frequency. Also, detecting an incoming radar signal and intelligently responding with a replicated return signal that indicates a false location. Electronic warfare deploys several digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and advanced digital RF memory (DRFM) sensors for spoofing the radar. 

Furthermore, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) entails the integration and linking of several functions across a battlefield for strategically and successfully assisting the combat forces in employing their sensors and managing the tactical & crucial information gathered from the battlefield. The rising geopolitical tensions propel investments in modernizing and acquiring new ISR capabilities. Such factors boost the ISR segment growth.

Some of the eminent companies operating in the North America tactical data link market are Collins Aerospace, L3Harris Technologies Inc, General Dynamics Corporation, Iridium Communications Inc, etc.

Iridium Communications Inc provides satellite communications services and products. It provides personal tracking & monitoring, voice & data, and broadband services. The company serves sectors like aviation, maritime, transportation, military, government, construction, etc. The company has a business presence in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, with headquarters in McLean, Virginia, the United States.
