[Satellite Today 07-15-09] The European satellite defense market will earn revenues of $1.1 billion in 2009 and reach $2.4 billion by 2018, according to an analysis report by Frost and Sullivan released July 14.
The transformation of the European defense into an expeditionary force has allowed satellite communication to become the primary means of integrating platforms and forces under one umbrella,” according to "European Defence Strategic Communication Market Assessment.”
The European defense strategic communication market is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8 percent from 2009 to 2018, defying the economic downturn. The projected revenue growth is attributed to the incorporation of satellite communication is a key enabler of networked communication, fundamental to network-centric warfare, the report said.
"From 2013 onward, the Ka-band will rapidly acquire market share thanks to increasingly number of satellite launches carrying EHF payloads. Unlike the already widely used X- and Ku-bands, the sky remains relatively open for the Ka-band. In the terminal market, multi-band terminals are replacing single bands to claim an increasing stake in procurement across platforms and are set to grow even more robustly with the onslaught of EHF and AEHF bands in the market from 2013 onwards. The coms-on-the-move terminals should see significant penetration from 2016 onwards," Frost and Sullivan research analyst retired Maj. Sabbir Ahmed, said in a statement.
