Adverse Impact of Covid-19 on Avionics Sector to Limit Demand for Aircraft Communication Systems

 


Aircraft communication systems are very important to maintain the safe and efficient operation of air traffic control as well as the smooth travel of military aircraft. How does an aircraft communication system work? First the data from the satellite communication is processed through the software-defined radio system of the aircraft. Once processed, this data is then converted to audio and sent to the radio operators at the control center. This process allows for real time commands and responses and allows for safe travel for military and commercial transportation activities. For example, if a missile launch warning is received from a military aircraft, military radars would allow the aircraft to turn around and return home safely without an operator needing to react and lost contact could lead to serious damage or collision.

Through SATCOM, we can receive clear voice communications from the cockpit; however, during bad weather or low-visibility circumstances these systems can often go down. Radio transmissions from the ground are usually reliable but the time it takes for the radio to travel to one point and back can be critical. With the use of a satellite-to-satellite connection the time required to send a signal to the ground can be greatly reduced and improved the safety of navigation systems for commercial and defense applications.

In the recent past, decrease in air traffic has led to low demand for aircraft communication systems. The global air passenger numbers are expected to decrease significantly during 2020, along with a significant reduction in revenue. Major airlines in the U.S. are also expected to witness significant reduction in passengers from 2019. However, initiatives to boost the aviation sector during Covid-19 is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the market.

Moreover, recovery in domestic passenger traffic is also expected to boost demand for aircraft communication systems. For instance, according to ICRA Limited, an independent and professional investment information and credit rating agency, the Indian aviation industry witnessed a recovery in domestic passenger traffic in August 2020, with a sequential growth (over July 2020) of 25 per cent to 26 lakh passengers.

Increasing Prevalence of Muscular Dystrophy to Augment the Muscular Dystrophy Treatment Market Growth

Image
  Muscular dystrophy is a common disease that causes muscles to become weaker and unable to continue to develop properly. Because it often affects young children as well as adults, it can be difficult to detect. However, once symptoms are noticed, steps must be taken to prevent the disease. There are many treatment options available for muscular dystrophy. The severity of the disease will determine what type of treatment is best for your situation. Muscular dystrophy treatment involves breathing aids, therapy, surgery, or medication, which may help maintain function, but life span is often shortened. Market Dynamics: Increasing prevalence or incidence of muscular dystrophy, especially in the North America, is expected to propel the growth of the muscular dystrophy treatment market . For instance, one in 3,500 male babies born worldwide are affected with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders. Moreover, in 2019, around 349 ne...

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare in Medicine Field

Image
  Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized millions of industries over the past half-decade, but it's also quickly becoming application-focused in health care.   Studies are underway across numerous healthcare sectors on the latest techniques for using artificial intelligence in medicine and how they can benefit both patients and healthcare professionals. For example, studies are currently underway in New York City on how medical professionals can use facial-recognition software to identify, remember and diagnose various conditions such as diabetes and asthma; and in London on how computer software programs could be used to improve bedside manner in nurses. Another area in which Artificial intelligence in healthcare is being used is through the implementation of new algorithms to improve decision-making in the clinical setting. These algorithms are designed to deal with both known and unknown conditions and diseases, and the best ones will be the ones that take the l...
