The communication systems used by air forces across the globe have experienced continuous advancement to improve their range, security, and reliability. One such innovation is Software-defined radio (SDR) that had gained traction in recent years. Modern airborne tactical radios are built on SDR architecture. This is because SDRs offer high flexibility, improved security, and ease of interoperability. Such characteristics are achieved by their software’s ability to be easily programmed as per the desired communication parameters.
Furthermore, military operations performed by various countries, including border security operations, peacekeeping operations, rescue operations, etc., are increasing day by day globally. Growing geopolitical conflicts in Europe, the Russia-Ukraine war, India-Pakistan, and India-China border tensions, the simmering warlike situations in the Middle East and the South China Sea, etc., have been contributing immensely to the growth of the airborne tactical radio market. Consequently, airborne tactical radios have become trendy because they allow secure communication as the aircraft execute critical missions.
