Military communications, or Signals, is a field of military activities, tactics and equipment dealing with communications.
Historically, the first military communications had the form of sending/receiving simple signals (often hidden or encoded to be unrecognizeable for the enemy).
Many pieces of military communications equipment are built to encrypt and decode transmissions and survive rough treatment in hostile climates.

 AT&T and the U.S. Military - A History of Innovation and Communications
While battlefield communications has evolved dramatically since World War I, significant communications changes have also taken place in the area of personal communications, enabling members of the armed services to stay in touch with loved ones whether stationed on bases worldwide, aboard ships or even in forward-deployed locations such as Iraq.
Much of the advancing technology in personal communications has been the result of the combination of public and private resources, corporations and the military joining forces to respond to the needs of America's armed forces, changing field conditions and the communications challenges of each major military conflict.
Initial communications during the first Gulf War were provided thanks to the advent of facsimile machines and an innovative program that allowed family and friends back home to communicate with loved ones serving overseas in a faster, more efficient way than ever before.

 Network Transition - By Peter A. Buxbaum - Military Information Technology
If, as appears to be the case, the military is moving to IP for reasons of cost and efficiency, “it’s probably advisable to move to IP as quickly as possible, bearing in mind two issues,” said Tom Nolle, president of CIMI, a technology consulting and analysis company.
Security issues will play little role in much of the traffic carried on military networks, Nolle noted, estimating that 60 percent to 70 percent of the traffic is similar to the traffic carried on private sector networks.
At the rate the military moves, in five years, the great majority of non-IP equipment will be gone and in 10 years, it will likely all be gone,” Nolle said.

 History of U.S. Military Satellite Communication Systems
The goal of these systems has been to provide communications between, and to supply information to, military units in situations where terrestrial means of communication are impossible, unreliable, or unavailable.
The Tacsat communication payload was designed with both UHF and X-band capabilities to permit operation with a wide variety of terminals.
To satisfy increasing user needs, the last four DSCS III satellites were enhanced to improve their communications capacity by 200 percent, with up to a 700-percent increase in capacity to tactical users (those with small terminals) in certain scenarios.

Other than high-speed military communications, Bishop identified a number of military and non-military applications for this technology, including quantum computing, optical radar, maskless lithography, astronomy, high definition television, electronic ophthalmology and digital cinema.
The high data rates coming into the wider military communications network by use of laser comms means that improvements are needed across the system to cope with this rise in data.

Satellites are increasingly important to the functioning of modern societies around the world; indeed, nearly all nations rely on satellite capabilities for a wide variety of critical purposes, from communications in remote areas to telemedicine.
Further, with the exception of the United States, very few countries have dedicated military satellites due to their high costs; instead, civil and military functions are provided by dual-use systems.
In other words, shooting down a commercial communications satellite could also mean shutting down communications for U.S. troops in the field or allied troops participating in coalition operations.

 Global Defence Review : Military communications
There are few aspects of life that have not been revolutionised by the dramatic developments in computer-based communications systems that have taken place in the last decade of the 21st century.
A major growth area in military communications has been in the use of satellite to provide strategic links over long distances or to supplement terrestrial-based communications systems.
The explosion of communication systems on the modern battlefield also provides the enemy with even greater opportunities to intercept and interrupt the friendly C3I network, either collecting valuable intelligence or physically blocking communications at key moments.

 Ospreysamurai.com - Samurai Military Communications
Samurai military communications in Japan developed significantly in the 15th to 17th centuries and involved verbal, visual and audible signals, extending from one-to-one spoken messages through battlefield communications to province-wide beacon systems.
Good battlefield communications systems therefore became a vital necessity, and in this article I shall describe how personal communications delivered by mounted messengers and scouts, visual communications using beacons and flags, and audible devices such as drums and conch-shell trumpets all played their part.
Apart from its military use, the conch was closely associated with the yamabushi, the adherents of the religious sect of Shugendo, who lived ascetically in the mountains.
