5G offers much higher speeds compared to previous generation networks and is considered one of the most important technological innovations of the age with low latency and high connection capacity.
A large number of unmanned systems, sensors and vehicles in a network with 5G can communicate in real time. Thanks to its high bandwidth 4K live video stream, augmented reality applications can work smoothly.
Operations that require remote control in milliseconds may become possible. For this reason, 5G is considered a “game-changing” element not only in civil communications, but also in the defense industry.
5G makes unmanned systems more efficient
One of the biggest impacts of 5G in the defense industry is on unmanned systems. Autonomous systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), unmanned land vehicles (İKA) and unmanned maritime vehicles (IDA) will become more efficient and safer thanks to 5G.
The low delay offered by 5G allows an operator to control the unmanned aerial vehicle with an almost real response, while UAVs can transmit HD video and image intelligence to the ground. 5G is also making a difference on the battlefield by making it easy to coordinate more than one unmanned system like Herd UAV concepts.
According to the South China Morning Post, the Chinese People's Liberation Army aims to build the world's largest unmanned military unit of 10 thousand unmanned aircraft, robot dogs and autonomous platforms and sees 5G infrastructure as a critical facilitator.
5G investments in military communications are increasing worldwide
In the important areas of use of 5G in the defense industry, another one comes to the fore other than military communications. 5G plays an important role in issues such as large band data sharing between troops, high speed communications for mobile headquarters, connecting radar and sensor networks.
The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) also invested $600 million in 5G testing in 2020 to integrate 5G technology into communications, while “Military 5G and Beyond” research has allocated $2 billion for the advance.
NATO took concrete steps to incorporate military requirements into 5G standardization. According to the news in Defense Industry Europe, the multinational 5G initiative (MN5G), initiated in 2024, carries out joint R&D activities for allied countries to integrate 5G technologies into military systems and establish a secure cooperation infrastructure. In this project, Torkiye, Italy and Spain are involved as founding members, while the testing of 5G with experiments at national and NATO levels and the determination of common requirements will also be cooperated.
5G plays a crucial role in the healthy use of artificial intelligence
According to the report “5G), the new generation weapon systems created by Saha Istanbul, innovative technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence ensure the cooperation of operations in the digital domain and the protection of near real-time security. Accordingly, 5G serves as a catalyst that increases the effectiveness of artificial intelligence.
5G, which offers the ability to provide artificial intelligence systems with rapid data flow through low delay, enables artificial intelligence to make instant decisions in engagement when even seconds are critical.
