ies and revamp their defense equipments. It is believed that the majority of countries are making significant investments in modernizing the communications networks of their armed forces by adopting new technologies.

North America is the primary market for tactical radios. Europe is second largest market after North America, representing the fastest growing market for tactical radios. The global tactical radio industry is now looking towards Asia, Middle East and Africa as a major growth engine. The Asian tactical radio market is growing at a significant growth rate. With the growing military spending and increasing defense budget funding, this region provides ample growth opportunities for the players.

In addition, the schedule and performance problems associated with the next-generation radio program, Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), has driven a need for legacy radios to fill the gap. Legacy tactical radios include handheld radios, manpack radios, airborne radios, ground radios and maritime radios. Further, there are software embedded radio systems, like SINCGARS (Single channel ground and airborne systems), which have contributed to the expansion of core tactical radio segment. These radios are faced with certain technological challenges, like jamming and security problems.

The report offers an analysis of the global tactical radio market. It also discusses major market trends, growth drivers and challenges for tactical radio market. Among the major players that operate in the market for tactical radios, Harris Corporation enjoys a clear leadership, followed by ITT Communication, Thales communication, Tadiran, Raytheon, Rhode and Schwarz and Selex.

Further, we have predicted the future growth of the global tactical radio market size by combining SPSS Inc.s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS to determine the future direction of the industry.
