📌 Key Players & Company Landscape

Top vendors operating in the 5G in defense space include Huawei, NEC, Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Thales, Saab, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Qualcomm

🆕 Recent Developments

  • In May 2025, Nokia and blackned (a Rheinmetall subsidiary) announced a collaboration to build next‑gen tactical 5G networks for the German army—integrating Nokia’s 5G tech and Rheinmetall’s Battlesuite platform to enhance situational awareness in battlefield environments 

  • Recently, Nokia, Lockheed Martin, and Verizon collaborated on a 5G.MIL Hybrid Base Station enabling seamless switching between commercial and tactical networks—facilitating uninterrupted connectivity for soldiers in field conditions 

  • Saab introduced DeployNet, a deployable 5G system for military and emergency contexts, enabling rapid setup and high‑bandwidth connectivity for real‑time C2 (command & control) applications

🚀 Drivers

  • Rapid adoption of autonomous systems and connected military devices (e.g. drones, UGVs): 5G provides ultra‑low latency, high bandwidth, and secure communication required for real‑time control and ISR systems .

  • Government and defense investments in modernization and secure communications infrastructure—often supported by subsidies and policy-level funding .

  • Demand for resilient, private 5G networks in defense contexts to ensure secure, controllable communication independent of public operators 

⚠ Restraints

  • High infrastructure deployment costs, including specialized RAN, edge compute, and dedicated licensing—especially for mobile deployments in conflict zones.

  • Shortage of specialized talent and skilled operators, limiting defense agencies and suppliers from rapidly deploying 5G solutions in complex environments .

  • Cybersecurity risks and geopolitical concerns, particularly around Chinese vendors like Huawei due to security scrutiny and supply‑chain concerns 

📍 Regional Segmentation Analysis

RegionMarket Share / RoleGrowth Outlook
North AmericaLargest market share in 2024/2025. U.S. leads with advanced 5G pilot programs and integration by DoD and defense primes Steady growth, strong government support
EuropeFastest‑growing region led by Germany, Italy, France; Nokia-blackned collaboration underlines strategic tractionEurope expected to have highest CAGR through 2025–2030
Asia‑PacificIncreasing adoption in China, India, South Korea for drone control, C4ISR, and defense modernization programsFastest CAGR among regions
Latin America / MEAEmerging interest supported by government modernization drives and lower baseline adoption levelsModerate but growing

🔍 Emerging Trends

  • Deployable/mobile 5G tactical systems like Saab’s DeployNet offer flexible, high‑bandwidth connectivity in the field 

  • Hybrid commercial‑tactical integration as demonstrated by Nokia‑Lockheed programs enables seamless switching between networks for persistent connectivity .

  • Network slicing, edge compute, MEC, SDN/NFV architectures tailored to defense use cases (e.g. URLLC for drones, AI‑enabled analysis) 

  • Private 5G deployments on bases and secure sites, replicating success beyond civilian applications .

🎯 Top Use Cases

  1. Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR): Real-time video and sensor data from UAVs and ground robots.

  2. Command & Control (C2): Secure, low-latency networks enabling high-speed situational awareness and mission coordination.

  3. Autonomous Vehicles & Robotics: Reliable control of unmanned systems via URLLC slices.

  4. Field Communications: Tactical networks for personnel coordination in remote or infrastructure‑limited environments.

  5. Edge‑based analytics & AI processing: Local data processing for mission-critical operations using MEC / SDN architectures.

🧗 Major Challenges

  • Cybersecurity and vendor trust issues, particularly where Chinese telecom suppliers remain controversial in defense procurement

  • Regulatory and export restrictions, restricting cross-border deployment and standardization.

  • Integration complexity across legacy defense systems, platforms (land/naval/airborne), and new 5G architectures.

  • Skills gap, limited personnel trained for deploying and operating tactical 5G infrastructure.

🌟 Attractive Opportunities

  • Innovation in hybrid tactical‑commercial systems, network‑portable platforms and modular deployment (e.g. Nokia/Lockheed 5G.MIL, Saab DeployNet).

  • Expansion in open‑architecture systems and ORAN standards, fostering security and vendor diversity

  • Growth in AI‑augmented edge analytics, combining 5G with AI/ML to enable automated threat detection, autonomous operations.

  • Emerging defense markets (Asia-Pacific, LatAm, MEA) with lower legacy infrastructure and high modernization budgets.

  • Public‑private partnerships (e.g. U.S. using military bases as 5G sandboxes), accelerating field deployments and domestic supply chain development .

📈 Market Size & Expansion Factors

  • Market values: estimated at ~USD 1.24 B in 2024, rising to ~USD 1.58 B in 2025, with projected growth to USD 4.24 B by 2030 (~21.8% CAGR) per Mordor Intelligence 

  • Higher-end projections: IMARC expects growth from USD 2.34 B in 2024 to USD 42.56 B by 2033 (~36% CAGR) 

  • Polaris estimates: ~USD 10.6 B by mid‑2020s at ~14.7% CAGR; TheBusinessResearchCompany cites deployable systems and edge‑plus‑AI integration as key expansion drivers 

  • Expansion enablers: rising autonomous device use, demand for secure private networks, defense modernization spending, regulatory support for domestic suppliers, innovation in tactical edge, and strong government‑industry collaboration.
