Blogoforum Blogoforum - Biometrics is an intricate part of the Defence strategy

recent > biometrics and technologies

Bharatbook.com added a new report which offers a detailed study of defence biometrics technologies that are poised to influence military operations over the next 10 years, helping to ensure the security of military personnel, civilians, information and property.

Biometrics is regarded as sophisticated means for identity management which refers to automated identification methods using unique human identifiers such as fingerprints and iris and facial patterns. Biometrics is not only useful for securing airports but also has many potential uses for the world?s armed forces. In armed forces, biometrics is useful in identifying adversaries who hide among the civilian population, controlling access to military facilities and even in providing medical and other services to personnel.

The biometrics market is changing from merely homeland security to an intricate part of the defence strategy. It is noted that defence biometrics has gone past infancy, although the market has still some way to go to reach full maturity. Now at a critical stage of its development as the world's militaries are expected to make greater use of biometrics, this market offers you new and exciting opportunities. There are factors working against biometrics, such as questions concerning whether the technology is mature enough for widespread military application and lingering concerns over privacy. However, those apparent limitations are offset by the promise of biometrics as a sophisticated and cost-effective means of identifying both friendly forces and adversaries.

The defence biometrics market is still dominated by the United States, which has displayed the greatest urgency to use the technology following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Subsequent military and security engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan have reinforced the need for advanced security systems. However, over the next few years - when the technology will have proven its usefulness in military applications ?increasing numbers of global military forces are expected to start investing in the technology. The use of biometrics for military applications continues to grow throughout the forecast period 2008-2018.
Bharatbook.com included a new report ?Biometrics for Defence? which in particular, describes the applications of defence markets and the relevant markets, aligned with specific data and independent opinion. This information is valuable to both defence procurement operations and to relevant technology providers.

Biometrics for Defence 2008 discusses the following aspects of that increasingly important market:

? Discussion of the technologies in defence biometrics
? Forecasts for defence biometrics in the leading US sector and other major markets
? Current and developmental programmes in biometrics for defence
? Discussion of market drivers and restraints, including SWOT analysis
? Full transcripts of interviews with relevant experts.

Strong growth of revenues in the defence biometrics sector from 2008-2018, particularly in the latter half of the period: By then, some currently emerging technologies will have become well established commercially, with these being used on a wider scale after use in limited or trial applications first. The opportunities for technology providers in biometrics are great and increasing - you should be benefiting from this development. The evidence shows that the world?s leading military forces will increasingly adopt biometrics for various applications, with accompanying market growth for both specialised and standard systems.
