Rising Companies to Watch in 2008
HSToday
A number of dynamic companies involved in
the rapidly developing business of homeland security are not
included in HSToday's listing of the Top 25 homeland
security contractors.
These companies are noteworthy because they
reflect the breadth of the field, from major systems
integrators to biometrics firms to detection companies.
These companies promise to grow quickly in coming years,
because of either recent contract wins or their overall
positioning in nascent growth areas within homeland
security.
This listing, which makes no claim to
comprehensiveness, looks at 10 of those companies that show
promise as future leaders in homeland security. Five larger
companies (Raytheon Co., Honeywell International Inc.,
Harris Corp., BAE Systems plc and Mine Safety Appliances
North America are likely to reach the Top 25 in coming
years.
Five small to mid-size companies on the list
may not reach the Top 25 but show the dynamic and
technologically driven nature of homeland security. They
range across a number of specialty areas including
biometrics (Cross Match Technologies), information
technology (Dynamics Research Corp.), unmanned aerial
vehicles (AeroVironment Inc.) and detection (ICx
Technologies Inc. and FLIR Systems Inc.).
