Global Advanced Extremely High Frequency Systems Market 2016-2020

Overview of the advanced extremely high frequency (AEHF) systems market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global advanced extremely high frequency (AEHF) systems market to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% by 2020.  Advanced EHF is a series of communications satellite systems operated by the US Air Force Space Command. They are used to relay secure communications for the US Armed Forces, the British Army, the Canadian Armed Forces, and the Royal Netherlands Forces. AEHF systems provide vastly improved global, survivable, jam-proof, protected communications for strategic and tactical users on ground, sea, and air platforms. With the growing applications of these systems in intelligence gathering, navigation, and military communications, the market is expected to witness tremendous growth in the coming years.

The market is witnessing the adoption of inflatable SATCOM antennas which are designed for ground military use in remote areas and harsh weather conditions. These are deployed in such locations where the movement and installation of standard rigid satellite antennas are tough. These antennas are low weight and portable and have the transmission power advantages of a large antenna. The SAT1741-S is a dual band AEHF transportable antenna satellite system with Ku- and Q-band operation, which supports the AEHF satellite and takes less than 30 minutes for the setup.
