Government and Military Space

Overview

Dramatic shifts in geopolitical stability and the increasing impact of natural disasters are driving government and military organisations' demand for space infrastructure and services. In such a dynamic market, satellite operators, service providers and infrastructure vendors must focus on identifying global and regional developments to ensure they target the right customers with the right products at the right time.

The research and insights in this programme assess government and military organisations' investments in space to identify the market drivers and restraints. We examine emerging regional trends and opportunities, track government spending on space, evaluate new markets such as positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) capabilities and monitor innovations such as direct-to-device (D2D) and 5G technology.

Themes

  • Emerging and established market landscape. Navigating nation state goals and priorities to identify growing opportunities by theme and location to optimise engagement.
  • Commercial or government/military satellite communications. Exploring the growth potential in core markets. 
  • Innovation trends. Examining innovations, such as non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellites, artificial intelligence (AI) or positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), and how players are approaching them.

Questions answered

  • How can service operators and providers capture new business potential?  
  • How large is the space revenue opportunity?
  • How are geopolitical instabilities affecting the outlook for this market?
  • What innovations are driving engagement by government and military customers?
  • Which segments will drive growth and where?
