The market value for military communications systems is forecast to reach $40.82 billion by the end of 2020, up from $23.02 billion during 2015, a MarketsandMarkets report says.
MarketsandMarkets said Monday the introduction of Ka-band, advanced extra high-frequency satellite and Internet protocol-based networking technologies will help trigger a potential 12.1-percent compound annual growth rate for the military communications sector over the next five years.

The report listed the following key market players:
- Alcatel

MarketsandMarkets said these companies seek to broaden their military communications market footprints and client bases through portfolio development strategies, acquisition deals and partnerships.
