Global Communication Intelligence Market Size, Share, & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Mobility (Fixed and Man-portable), By Platform (Ground, Airborne, Naval and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The Communications Intelligence System (COMINT) is a wireless communication technology used on the battlefield for radio surveillance, finding radio locations, and blocking rival radar signals. COMINT practices electro-magnetic signals to transfer information from point A to point B. It is used to decrypt military radio traffic, and electromagnetic signals, transmit faxes, and COMINT changes them into actionable information including images, sounds, or data that can be easily analysed. It supports advanced networking and satellite communications technologies widely used by defense forces worldwide. It can be used from any mode, such as air, land, and naval levels.

Communication intelligence holds great potential in the defense and aerospace industries. Intelligence is information that helps an organization or individual make decisions that give them a strategic advantage. Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in automated warfare and machine learning, mainly in defense agencies across the globe, is expected to boost the demand for the market in the upcoming years. AI in COMINT contains natural language processing and machine learning technologies, which enable machines to act, sense, understand, and learn to enhance human capabilities. With the help of these, defense personnel can take necessary measures based on the obtained data.

Therefore, all these aspects are expected to drive the growth and demand of the market during the analysis period.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Communication Intelligence Market

The COVID-19 pandemic created some uncertainty, with short- and medium-term consequences for many businesses around the world. This ultimately reduced demand for military equipment manufacturers in the defense sector due to supply chain disruptions, factory closures, and economic downturns in some countries. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the defense sector, although during the forecast period.

Furthermore, the telecom sector has been particularly affected by the pandemic, leading to expanding the media market for better situational awareness to combat the virus. Governments and their internal medical and humanitarian aid operations require a strong communication network. Therefore, the rapid rise of terrorism, international conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the way countries design and protect their national security plans. This factor has affected the market expansion and increased demand.

Analysis by Platform

Based on platform type, the global communication intelligence market is categorized into air, ground, naval, and others. The ground segment is the fastest growing segment of the global communication intelligence market in the defense sector. The ground segment makes it easier for defense and intelligence organizers to stay and plan for the capabilities needed in the field. This helps in planning attacks and deploying troops accordingly. The defense industry that relies on conventional radio on the battlefield has long wanted to update communications tools in the defense sector. Therefore, defense communications intelligence that helps in detecting, locating, and orienting enemies across various platforms will undoubtedly create advanced scope for the growth of the communications intelligence market.

Regional Analysis

The global communication intelligence market is divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. North America delivered the highest share of revenue in the communications intelligence market in 2021. As the U.S. has consistently led in the deployment of new technologies to the country's defense sector, the demand for COMINTs in North America is high. COMINT will ultimately receive higher funding due to their highly sophisticated science and technology for military and intelligence purposes. Thus, the continuous development and application of technology is a hallmark of militaries around the world.

The distribution of the communication intelligence market by region of origin is as follows:

• Asia Pacific –27%


• North America – 48%


• Europe – 16%


• The Middle East and Africa – 6%


• South America – 3%

Key Players Covered

The key players in the market include General Dynamics Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Israel Aerospace Industries, Raytheon Company, Elbit systems ltd, Lockheed Martin Corporation, hensoldt, BAE Systems Inc., L3Harris Technologies, Inc., Thales Group, and others.
