A military satellite is a satellite used for a variety of military applications. These are used for various missions such as military communication, intelligence gathering, and navigation. The data collected through these satellites have a direct impact on the operational capability of defense forces. It includes early warning related to movements, collecting and communicating intelligence information to the military forces.


The information of high-power military surveillance is transferred to forces through electronic and signal intelligence in remote areas. In October 2021, France launched amilitary communicationsatellite to allow all of France's defense forces across the globe to communicate smoothly and with improved security.


Increased Launch of Small Satellites to Stabilize Market Growth amid COVID-19


The space industry experienced significant disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic across the world. There was an increased number of Nano-micro spy satellites while the medium-heavy satellite launches reduced amid COVID-19.



  • In April 2020, Iran launched its first Noor-1 military satellite into orbit. The launch was conducted by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp’s (IRGC) space program using a new three-stage Qased launch vehicle.

  • In July 2020, South Korea launched its first military communication satellite by SpaceX. The ANASIS-II will enhance the South Korea’s ability to defend itself against the nuclear-armed North Korea.

  • On the other hand, due to COVID-19, the U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) postponed the presentation of GPS navigation satellite, GPS III-3, created by Lockheed Martin Corporation from April to June 2020.

  • In addition to that, 47% of the U.K. Space sector companies witnessed a reduction in international demand over the last year.

Increased Demand for Miniaturized Spacecraft Components for Weight Reduction


Weight is one of the most crucial aspects to be considered while designing or manufacturing any airborne machine. Miniaturization can not only save orders of magnitude in mass and volume of individual components, but it can also allow increased redundancy, and enable novel spacecraft designs and mission scenarios. TheseNano-microsatellitesare much cheaper and faster to design, build, and launch.


Microsatellites in 62- or 63-degree inclined orbits are able to find the location and characteristics of radars. When these spacecraft’s configured to coordinate with imaging satellites, they will provide a comprehensive picture of the adversary’s deployments and military movements.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Security Concerns and Need for Reliable Surveillance to Propel Market Forward


Growing concern for terrorism, cross border conflicts, and political unrest is driving the demand for military satellite. Rising security concerns leads to growing need for tactical communication systems to be deployed by the defense forces across the globe. The tactical communication systems provide secured communication platform between the military forces. These satellites provide real time intelligence information, navigation, and communication that helps in various defense missions.


Increasing Use of AI in Satellite Manufacturing Propels Market Growth


The integration ofartificial intelligence (AI)has brought about major transformations in the space sector. The newly developed military's reconnaissance satellites use artificial intelligence to analyze and sort captured images. Furthermore, AI-enabled automatic learning systems and intelligent ground station optimized the control of CubeSats constellations.


Enhanced data processing, laser communication systems, and transmission capacity drive the growth of the market. In November 2019, U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) signed a contract worth USD 731.8 million with General Dynamics Corporation for sustainment of the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), a next-generation military satellite communication system.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Strict Government Restrictions and Issues Related to Cyber Threats Hampers Market Growth


The space industry is facing numerous restrictions from national as well as government agencies. On an international level, there are five United Nations Treaties on outer space, which are the Rescue Agreement, Outer Space Treaty, Registration Convention, Liability Convention, and Moon Agreement. In addition to that, the activities carried out by non-government organizations require supervision and authorization from the state. Such stringent norms hinders the military satellite market growth.


Furthermore, issues related to cyber-attacks and spoofing hampers the growth of the market. In July 2019, the UK’s Royal Institute of International Affairs published data, states that satellites face the threat of hackers using malicious code to disrupt automated missile-defense systems or jam battlefield communications.
