U.S. DoD Physical Security Market
Frost & Sullivan, June 2011, Pages: 37
This research service identifies the major market dynamics that are currently influencing growth (drivers and restraints), as well as trends and threats that are impacting the U.S. DoD Physical Security industry. The research service provides a competitive overview and details for the key industry participants. In addition, the research service contains spending forecasts, competitive information for each segment of the market. The period for the study is 2008 to 2016, with 2009 as the base year.
This Frost & Sullivan Research Service examines the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) physical security market and the key technologies in this field: video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection. Market dynamics addressed include drivers, restraints, industry challenges, technology trends, competitive analysis, growth opportunities, and key strategies.
Market Overview:
Security concerns such as terrorists' attacks and other pertinent issues have forced increased spending by the U.S. government across various segments, including video surveillance, access control, and intrusion and perimeter detection systems.
After the 11 September 2001 attacks, security efforts have surged to combat issues within the United States and military installations around the globe. Incidents such as terrorists' attacks, vandalism, theft, and videotaping/photography of premises within government premises threaten the nation and U.S.-related territories globally. Also, technology innovation and the increase of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) further provide challenges to the DoD physical security market. As the U.S. government continues to impose regulations to enhance security through regulations, security providers—including system integrators and hardware manufacturers—are able to customize their service offerings in accordance with government requirements.
This Research Service is focused on assessing and detailing the DoD's spending behavior on physical security resources. As such, this market is defined as a segment of resources included under the DoD and is used among other components to share information across the DoD and its mission partners. DoD is in the process of assessing its physical security resources, domestically as well as overseas. The base year for the financial data included in the research is 2010, and the market forecast period is from 2011 to 2016.
For the purposes of this Research Service, spending is the actual amount that has been awarded to companies through government contracts. Every possible attempt has been made to only include amounts that have been paid (i.e., possible modifications in the future are not used). FY 2010 is the last complete year for spending/contract information and will be the reporting year for spending and competitive information as well as being the study's base year.
According to the DoD physical security program regulation, the market is concerned with two areas: implementing measures and safeguarding against violence. Implementing involves active and passive measures to prevent unauthorized access to personnel, equipment, installations, and information. Safeguarding is designed to prevent espionage, sabotage, terrorism, damage, and criminal activity. Physical security programs are designed to counter threats when preventive measures are ignored or bypassed.
Physical security resources used to protect DoD personnel and assets include:
- Military police (MP)
- Military working dogs
- Physical barriers
- Electronic or mechanical access control systems
- Video surveillance systems
- Protective lighting
- Secure locking systems, containers, vaults
These resources—coupled with the understanding of a potential threat, proper planning, and proper execution—can be used effectively to mitigate and manage risks to provide a secure environment.
