An Overview of Millimeter Wave Communications for Military Applications

Abstract: The use of millimeter wave for Defence communications can offer a number of benefits to the user. Apart from the benefit of wider capacity, millimeter wave also offers ability to provide secure and survivable communication in the presence of enemy threats. In this paper, some of the important benefits for Defence communication are reviewed. An overview of millimeter wave military communication applications, technology development, present status and trends are also given.

“…Humans are increasingly exposed to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy above 6 GHz from many different sources, such as military usage [Bains, 1993], automotive radar [Hasch et al, 2012], airport scanners [Scheen et al, 2001], and millimeter wave therapy [Rojavin and Ziskin, 1998]. Newly developed 5G mobile communication systems will significantly add to this exposure.…”

“…This led to the development of short-range Gbps point-to-point links and wireless network standards [51]. As with OWC, military applications were developed over a similar time period [52], recognizing the potential benefits of increased bandwidth, sophisticated antennas, greater directionality, and reduced size compared to traditional microwave links.…”
