Research Overview
Civilian Deployment of Detection Systems Creates Demand
Moving from the defense laboratories and battlefields, detection equipment has now been extended to public use following the increased threat from terrorists in North America. Instances such as the anthrax mailings in 2001 are propelling deployment of technically superior, unobtrusive chemical and biological detection systems to mitigate the risks as quickly as possible. These defense mechanisms must be easy to use and customized for first responders such as fire fighters, police officers, emergency medical personnel, hazardous material teams (hazmats), public health authorities, and national guardsmen. Police and fire departments, public health authorities, industrial concerns with high security risks, and other such institutions are the new consumers for cutting-edge chemical and biological detection equipment.
This Frost & Sullivan research service focuses on the most recent security technologies in chemical and biological detection. The study provides an insight into the varied segments - portable and stationary defense systems, defense systems in transportation sectors, facilities management systems such as sensing equipment, and public safety equipment such as hand-held detectors. Participants can identify potential collaborators, keep up with critical developments, and stay ahead of the competition.
Low Cost and High Accuracy Key to Boosting Adoption
Support from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as well as the Department of Defense (DOD), has resulted in the rapid development and adoption of chemical and biological detection technologies into civilian applications. Fixed and portable detection tools are used to monitor threats overtly or discretely. For instance, chemical detectors have been installed on certain airplanes to track plumes of hazardous chemicals from accidental or intentional releases.
"These systems need to be sufficiently cheap for mass production, and quick to give maximum warning to emergency management controllers, dealing with lethal toxins that can kill large numbers within minutes," observes the analyst of this research. "They also need to be highly accurate with minimal or zero false positives to meet restricted state budgets and avoid civilian complacency."
Public Concern Drives Government Investment in Detection Technology
Media coverage and rising awareness are fuelling public anxiety and compelling legislators to take steps to ensure maximum safety for the people. Citizens concern has become a primary driver for increased government funding for chemical and biological detection technologies.
"For example, the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, based in Frederick, MD, awarded Idaho Technology, Inc. of Salt Lake City an $11 million increment last year, part of a larger contract worth more than $92 million to develop a Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostics System," explains the analyst.
Frost & Sullivan Growth Partnership Service
Based on extensive and in-depth research, real-world consulting work, and new theories tested in hundreds of companies across many industries, Frost & Sullivan has evolved its Growth Partnership Services (GPS) program that provides established and emerging firms with powerful growth visions. Moving beyond token mission statements, GPS provides an actionable vision to growth consulting partners by illustrating how key intelligence and strategic research based on defined goals can guide day-to-day behavior and overall company direction. The foundation of Frost & Sullivans GPS includes:
- Assisting companies to reach their full potential in the core business
- Providing growth strategies to help companies expand into related businesses
- Preemptively redefining the core business during market turbulence
- Applying the Frost & Sullivan framework to identify and address common mistakes resulting from misaligned corporate strategies
- Recommending growth management strategies through continuous partnership
- To maximize the potential for growth within a firms internal and external environment, Frost & Sullivan consultants can facilitate the creation of strategic programs that deliver improved market success. Frost & Sullivans strengths lie in combining strategic understanding with market expertise and applying these with absolute commitment to its clients growth.
