America’s aviation security markets are forecast to grow rapidly over the 2007-2011 period.

Countering the growing IED threat all over the world is rapidly changing the outlay picture of this emerging market, which is now predominantly American. In fact, the international (other than U.S.) counter-IED outlay is forecast to grow faster than the U.S. over the 2008-2012 period, and even exceed it by 2013.

A cumulative 2007-2012 market for $5.6B will be awarded to those that can overcome some of the major technological challenges, including the ability to detect the IED at a distance of at least 50 yards from any damageable target with minimal false alarms.

With an estimated CAGR of more than 20%, Eastern Europe contains the continent’s most potentially vibrant and fastest growing communications interoperability market.

HSRC’s Research Examines and Analyzes 71 current and next generation IED Technologies including: Quantum Entanglement, Non-linear Junction Detector (NLJD), Anti IED Devices, Thor IED Zappers, JIN – Joint IED Neutralizer – Ionatron, Counter-IED Reconnaissance Planes, Aerostats, Microwave Based Explosive Caches Detection…

There is little doubt that if the FCC gets its way and a National Broadband Network is created in the U.S. at a cost of $10 to $30B, a massive market for HLS Interoperability Communications equipment and services will emerge.

A $3Billion FY 2009 Federal Grant funding request for inland U.S. counter IED measures (a 14% raise from 2008′s budget) signifies not only the unprecedented effort the U.S. Federal government is placing on this potential threat, but also its dire need to develop technologies that can address it.

The outlay for counter IED efforts will more than triple over the next 5 years, from a total of around $5 billion in 2007 to around $18 billion in 2012.
