Industry: Defense
Press Release Summary: Biometrics for Defence 2008 describes the applications of defence markets and the relevant markets, aligned with specific data and independent opinion.
Press Release Body: Biometrics refers to automated identification methods using unique human identifiers such as fingerprints and iris and facial patterns. Biometrics, regarded as a sophisticated means for identity management, is useful not only for securing airports and borders but it has many current and potential uses for the world's armed forces, such as 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.
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.
In this new report, Biometrics for Defence 2008 (http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=81664) 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
