Major investments in the development of ultra-powerful radars and other communication systems by key industry players will pose requirement to upgrade existing communication systems, driving the military vetronics market.
 

Changing regulatory policies to inspect and upgrade existing military vehicles will encourage countries to increase their frequency of inspections, posing demand for advanced military vetronics systems. For instance, in April 2020, the U.S. Army contracted TAE Aerospace, Inc. to overhaul electromechanical fuel system assemblies and oil pump assemblies of AGT 1500 M1 tanks.
 

Integration of Navigation Systems with SATCOM to boost the military vetronics market growth

The navigation system segment will witness maximum growth of more than 5% till 2026. Integration of various military vehicles, such as amphibious vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and mine-resistant ambush protection vehicles, in the army will support the segment growth. These vehicles require precise navigation systems, allowing the army to accurately carry out operations.
 

To improve the operational accuracy of these vehicles, industry players are integrating their navigation systems with Satellite Communications (SATCOM) systems. Various countries across the globe are trying to establish a framework, where military devices can use a range of SATCOM networks, which include commercial & military networks.
 

For instance, in May 2019, the USAF had conversations with commercial satellite operators to build a hybrid architecture. This architecture will enable armed forces to switch networks between commercial and military satellites, improving connectivity and reducing chances of cyber-attacks.
