America’s aviation security markets are forecast to grow rapidly over the 2007-2011 period. According to Homeland Security Research Corp. (HSRC)’s landmark research, 2007-2011 U.S. Homeland Security (Government & Private) Market Outlook released in Jan 07, this growth stems from the strong support by the 110th Congress of several major programs, including the establishment of an effective air cargo screening (on scheduled passengers flights) infrastructure, the construction of perimeter protection around high profile airports, the outsourcing of security screening services to the private sector and the continued development of the “trusted passenger” programs.
The lion share of the expenditures in this market will be financed by security surcharges. Some of the major programs in this market include:
- Airports IT & Telecommunications Restructuring Program
- Air Cargo Screening Program
- Airport Perimeters Security Program
- Airport Employee and Service Personal Identification Program
- Passengers and Baggage Screening Program
- Checked Baggage Screening Programs
- TSA – Electronic Surveillance Program
- ICE – Air to Ground Communications Program
- Airport Screener Outsourcing Program
