Asia Pacific Airborne SATCOM Market

The airborne SATCOM market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 1,367.30 million in 2022 to US$ 2,273.59 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2022 to 2028.

UAVs with tactical, long-range capabilities are used to acquire and transmit real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data to ground stations. Reliable, high-performance satellite communications ensure continuous broadband connectivity in beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) activities. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for small aerial vehicles (UAVs) with high performance and throughput L-Band SATCOM terminals with a tiny footprint. For instance, Intellian announced in October 2021 that its new FB250 and Fleet One L-band terminals received Inmarsat type certification. The Intellian Fleet One terminal is a small, sturdy, and low-cost solution for simultaneous phone and data communication up to 150kbps. Further in January 2022, Inmarsat, the market leader in international mobile satellite communications, permitted ultra-intelligence and communications to use its new ultra-compact SATCOM terminal with the Inmarsat APAC Xpress network. The new ultra-terminal is a frontrunner in size, weight, power, and higher performance standards to create a communications capability in the field of operations, facilitating mission-critical communication between soldiers in the field and command and control.

The ultra-compact SATCOM terminal is perfect for users who operate outside of terrestrial coverage. It also ensures constant, secure access to safety alerts, navigational cautions, emails, internet-based messaging, and voice calls. Leading satellite manufacturers are working with cutting-edge terminal manufacturers to provide hardware antennas and terminals with low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) and high-throughput capabilities. The increasing demand for high-throughput, beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) connections for small aviation platforms worldwide will provide an opportunity for the airborne SATCOM market to expand. 

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific airborne SATCOM market. The Asia Pacific airborne SATCOM market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
