The Significance of Communications in Military Operations

Communications serve as the backbone of military operations from facilitating coordination, command and control to unmanned systems operation, logistics planning and the exchange of crucial information. As technology rapidly advances, the challenge for the military lies in keeping pace with commercial developments while addressing the vulnerabilities introduced by innovations also available to adversaries. The need for secure communication capabilities for dispersed and highly-mobile forces that can withstand harsh environments, provide high performance and remain resilient in the face of disruptions is more pressing than ever.

The Need for Agility and Portability

Citing key lessons learnt from the recent war of aggression against the Ukraine, the European Defence Agency recently highlighted the importance of agility, mobility, interoperability and resilience in land forces.¹ Through feedback and discussion with our own Defence contacts, we understand the requirement for troops on the ground to be more mobile, dispersed and operate at long ranges, often beyond the line of sight. With this in mind, a communication system’s agility and portability become critical factors in meeting operational requirements.

Portable, Resilient, Mission Ready Fibre Communications

Addressing the evolving needs of the military, our ArmourLux Strider backpack system brings agility to military communication, ensuring quicker and more efficient delivery of network infrastructure. Its portability allows deployment to locations inaccessible to vehicles, allowing the wearer to navigate rough terrains and harsh conditions with ease. Designed for ultra-mobility, the ArmourLux Strider portable backpack system enables rapid transportation, deployment and retrieval of high performance, fibre communication networks in response to the dynamic movements of troops.
