Analyst’s Perspective on UAV Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Market

The Principal Analyst states, 'With the unmanned aerial vehicles market growing across commercial and military domains, the deployment of drones in beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) operations is also on the rise. The extension of the operational range for such missions is driving the uptake of IC engines to replace electric propulsion capabilities. Given these circumstances, one of the consequences is the increasing need for SATCOM deployment onboard the drones deployed in such BLOS operations. The demand for UAV SATCOM solutions is growing and will only continue to grow. It is imperative for the market participants to better understand the key drone segments and use-cases where SATCOM solutions are a must-have, both from a forward-fit and a retro-fit perspective.'
