Man Portable Military Electronics Market – Market Overview
Man portable military electronic systems include the mobile communication products and MAVs that are used for the transmission and reception of video, voice and data signals, and to provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), essential in military operations. The facilitation of man portable electronics has become an effective means for defense authorities to enhance the safety and capabilities of their units. The defense authorities invest heavily on C3ISR systems to enhance national security and extract data from potential enemies. Also, the defense industry is shifting to a new generation of sophisticated electronic systems that enables faster, secure, less costly and more flexible communications.
One such man portable military electronic system is the Micro air vehicle (MAV). They are man portable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that are equipped with a broad range of systems such as airframe, engine, autopilot, navigation system, sensor package, and communication link. These vehicles are smaller in size, and cost-effective, as compared to the manned aircraft and standard UAVs. They aid in providing modernized, digital communication formats that are more secure and reliable. Also, the MAVs provide on-board sensors such as LASER, SAR, IMU, and GPS that help in rapidly modernizing their communications equipment. Of late, there has been an increased implementation of the miniature unmanned systems for electronic attack (EA), destruction of enemy air defense (DEAD), suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), communication transfer, combat search and rescue (CSAR) and ISR operations.
Of late, the addition of advanced portable electronics such as radios, range finders, navigation, and optronics systems, to protect and empower the soldiers has resulted in an exponential increase in the total weight being carried. The combined weight of equipment restrains infantry personnel from being agile, mobile and effective war fighters, thus putting their lives at risk.
A concerning challenge is to maintain the effectiveness of man portable electronics systems while reducing the equipment weight the same time, which requires huge investments, extensive R&D, and technological advancements.
As a result, the defense manufacturing companies worldwide are focussed on integrating the inexpensive and lightweight, man portable electronics systems to reduce the burden on infantrymen. The defense ministries have also invested in R&D projects, focussing on weight reduction of equipment that the soldiers carry.
For example, in 2011, Nett Warrior program in the US Army attempted to lighten the load carried by soldiers, with enhanced safety, communication and attack capabilities. Similarly, the MOD of the UK Armed Forces has planned on the reduction of load on the soldiers from 155 lbs to no more than 55 lbs, under the Reducing the Burden on the Dismounted Soldier (RBDS) program, by 2020.
