On the basis of platform, the underwater tactical communications segment is estimated to witness the highest growth as government agencies are focusing toward strengthening the communication related capabilities of submerged manned and unmanned systems. This is expected to enable such systems to receive and transmit broadcast of real-time situational awareness data to other airborne and shipborne platforms.

The tactical communications market has been segmented and analyzed on the basis of type into soldier radio, manpack radio, VIC (Vehicular Intercommunication Radio), High Capacity Data Radio (HCDR), and others. The tactical communications market for manpack radio is expected to register the highest growth, driven by their increasing procurement owing to their ability to provide dual channels of communications and operability on different wavelengths simultaneously. They are also being preferred as their usage eliminates the need for more than one radio at any location.

The market for tactical communications has been estimated to be the largest in North America due to the increase in procurement of advanced communication systems such as those based on internet protocol (IP) and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) apart from satellite communications.

Major players in the tactical communications market are Harris Corporation (U.S.), Northrop Grumman Corporation (U.S.), Raytheon Company (U.S.), General Dynamics Corporation (U.S.), and Thales Group (France), among others.
