SUMMARY
Threat of Terrorist Acts Spurs U.S. Markets for Homeland Security andDefense Increasing caution against potential terrorist acts targeting the U.S. isexpanding the federal homeland security and defense markets. The analysis ofhomeland security in the U.S. post 9/11 highlighted the need to consolidate allgovernment agencies with security responsibilities to create an integrateddefense system. Though homeland defense programs led new initiatives andspending in 2003, key participants from the federal to the local level shouldunderstand government priorities in the context of an economic slump. This Frost & Sullivan research analyzes federal homeland security andhomeland defense (HS/HD) spending across the newly created U.S. Department ofHomeland Security (DHS), DHS stand-alone agencies, and 'other' federal agencieswith homeland security and/or homeland defense responsibilities. It offers anextensive analysis of the latest market and technological trends, drivers, andrestraints enabling market participants to develop better strategic marketingplans. Long-awaited Homeland Security Funding Sparks Off Reorganization ofSecurity Companies As the U.S. challenges global terrorism, there is a need for a new data andcommunications infrastructure and additional R&D efforts. "Defense andsecurity companies have reorganized themselves and their product offerings inexpectation of a significant increase in physical and cyber security needs fromthe federal government, but contracts have been slow to materialize,"explains the analyst. Federal funding is constrained by the U.S. economicaldownturn. The funding provided is essentially a down payment toward identifyingand developing new technologies for homeland security applications. Plans for reorganization are likely to reach an effective phase by 2004,allowing federal agencies in DHS to clearly understand their mission within thehomeland security umbrella, identify the systems that need to be improved, andbuild a comprehensive defense architecture. These range from ongoing ITdevelopment programs such as the U.S. Visitor and Immigration Status IndicationTechnology (U.S. VISIT) to the enhancement of radiological, biological, andchemical detection networks and response capabilities. With this high-levelarchitecture in place, agencies will be able to develop or buy existingtechnologies to fill gaps in HS/HD. Potential of HS/HD Markets yet to Surface as Federal Government Wrestleswith Multiple Contractors The restructuring of roughly half of the federal budget, with agenciesstriving to realign themselves to accommodate DHS, has created confusion amongpublic and private interests. DHS directorates and officials are being inundatedwith multiple offers from security equipment vendors and defense contractors. Aworking, but evolving blueprint shared by the majority of DHS decision makerscan be expected to emerge by 2004-2005. Federal contractors serving legacy applications and responsibilities canexpect to gain a foothold as new initiatives --- mainly in IT infrastructure,first-responder grants, and biological and chemical defense - are defined. Inorder to participate in this new market, participants should use targetedapproaches to procure new systems expected to be in place by 2005. "A clearunderstanding of the full range of federal agencies with HS and HDresponsibilities will be critical to capitalizing on this market," notesthe analyst. TABLE OF CONTENTS
