Report Abstract

5G for Defence & Military Use Cases 2026: Private Networks, 5G Slicing, NTN, Sensing & mmWave Tactical Systems | Forecast Through 2031

What This Report Covers

This report analyzes the global 5G infrastructure market for defense and military use cases across five distinct equipment and system categories, with unit and revenue forecasts through 2031 for each category and region. It is the only report to combine top country defense spending plans with wireless infrastructure vendor sales data and direct discussions with government agencies and the global 5G ecosystem - including communications service providers - into a single, validated market forecast.

Five Categories Covered

Private 5G Networks including 5G Deployable Network-in-a-Box The foundational layer of military 5G - from permanent base infrastructure to rapidly deployable cellular systems for field operations and training exercises. These networks are being deployed for smart base operations, tactical networking, and sensing applications including counter-drone protection.

5G Network Slicing Enabling military operators to run multiple isolated, mission-critical virtual networks over shared 5G infrastructure - critical for separating command and control, ISR, and logistics traffic with guaranteed QoS and security boundaries.

5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) Satellite and high-altitude 5G nodes extending connectivity beyond the reach of terrestrial infrastructure - essential for maritime, airborne, and remote land operations where ground-based coverage is unavailable or disrupted.

5G Sensing Leveraging 5G signals for passive and active sensing applications including perimeter security, counter-drone detection, and battlefield situational awareness - a fast-emerging category at the intersection of communications and ISR.

5G Millimeter Wave Systems for Tactical Bubbles & Kits High-bandwidth, short-range mmWave systems enabling ultra-high-throughput communications in tactical environments - supporting high-fidelity imagery, biometric data transmission, and command post modernization at the tactical edge.
