Saudi Arabia, with the help of international and local companies, is embarking on the largest obstacle construction project ever: almost 6,000 kilometers of “virtual” and “physical” barrier – A project whose starting price tag is estimated at $10 billion, and whose final cost HSRC projects at closer to $40 billion.

A few weeks ago, the Saudi government decided to triple the length of its border security barrier from approximately 2,000 km ( Iraq and Yemen ) to about 6,000 km to additionally cover Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman and Gulf and Red Sea coasts.

As a first step the Saudis plan a virtual barrier, based on a network of people and vehicle radars.

Saudi investments in homeland security are actually larger than earlier anticipated by our analysts.

HSRC forecasts that this first stage (radar virtual barrier) will cost about $10 billion to implement (including the procurement of radar and C3I stations). Yet the total market cost of the Saudi project will come, in our assessment to around $40 billion, and will be completed by around 2018.

The reason for the huge difference between the initial cost estimate and our total cost assessment is that the final cost will include Day/Night CCTV networks, a large segment of physical fence, additional costs of service and upgrades, and projected cost overruns.

To find out more details about business opportunities associated with this project and with other projects in Saudi Arabia , please review our landmark report. This new publication represents several researcher years, dozens of interviews, and in-depth analysis of thousands of documents; the resulting produce is a comprehensive roadmap of this huge and intriguing Homeland Security market.

A few days ago Lt. Gen. Tom Metz, DoD’s counter-IED chief, has reported the highest level of IED attacks against NATO troops in Afghanistan in four years, with 200 IED incidents in April – June 2008:

• 120 IED’s exploded
• 40 explosions resulted in casualties
• 80 IED’s had been detected and cleared by NATO forces

Insurgents are going both high tech and low tech – the success of the NATO forces in deploying effective jammers has brought back to life IED’s triggered by wire and pressure plates.

According to HSRC’s report Global Counter IED - Markets & Technologies Forecast - 2008-2012 no single technology will be the “silver bullet “ defeating IED. HSRC forecasts global Counter IED market to reach $23 Billion in 2008 -2018.

The following technological evolutions are expected to counter IED threat:

• Directed energy technologies, explosive detection and integrated intelligence fusing tools (hardware, sensors and software)
• Jammers will evolve to integrated Electronic Warfare –like systems, with improved blocking effectiveness, much broader electromagnetic spectrum coverage and high level of integration with HPM-like systems
• Armored vehicles with enhanced resilience to IED attack

Washington, DC (Press Release) – The dramatic increase in demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) due to high oil prices will result in a surge of investments - over $600 Billion in new LNG plants. The fact that a terror attack against an LNG facility could cause the catastrophic effect of a tactical-nuclear-weapon-like detonation is driving this industry to invest over $17 Billion in its security between 2008 and 2014.

A new research report arrives at this and many other economic and technological conclusions:

Global LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Infrastructure Security Market 2009 - 2014

The report examines, analyzes and delivers detailed insight on how to capitalize on the trends and opportunities in this lucrative niche market. The analysis covers the following LNG Infrastructure security sub-markets:

Saudi Oil Industry Security Market 2009-2014

Sky-high oil prices have propelled the global economy into an era of high energy prices. Concurrently, the security of energy infrastructure has become one of the foremost concerns of governments everywhere. Producers and users alike know that terrorists around the world could not fail to notice the vulnerability of the global markets, and the destructive impact that any disruption in energy supplies will have on many national economies. The recognition of this vulnerability, in turn, drives the infrastructure security markets.

Securing the flow of oil from producers to consumers is a crucial global concern. Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, understand the importance of uninterrupted flow of oil, and they know that one successful terror attack on the Saudi oil industry will send oil prices to a new record high, resulting in a deep global recession, a losing proposition for all involved. To head off such an eventuality, the Saudis are forecasted to procure $14 billion of security systems and services over the next 6 years, to harden the kingdom oil infrastructure security.

With a forecasted cumulative 2008-2014 oil industry security market of $14 billion, Saudi Arabia oil industry Security market become the world’s largest, national energy security market . This is one of the main conclusions of HSRC’s latest market research report Saudi Oil industry Security Market 2009-2014.

Here are major report highlights:

• The Saudi government will invest “whatever it takes” in the security of its oil industry ,the lifeline of the kingdom
• The security of the Saudi oil industry is considered by world governments as “the Achilles heel of the global economy”
• A major interruption of Saudi oil supply [10% of global supply] or it’s oil fields [24% of global reserves] is forecasted by governments worldwide to send the global economy into a major recession
• The Saudi government embarked recently on a major investment of $129Billion to expand the country oil exports and security

One successful terrorist attack on the oil & gas infrastructure can quickly spiral the world into a painful global recession. With such dire consequences and more than $3 Trillion global Oil & Gas revenues, less than 0.15% seems only a trivial amount allocated to protect the world’s most vital asset. That seemingly small fraction translates into a cumulative $30B global 2009-2014 market.

Threatened at home by a massive Al Quaeda infiltration at all levels of society, and intimidated by neighboring ascending Iran with its fundamentalist Shia push, - Saudi Arabia’s rulers embark on a multi-tier homeland security project to protect themselves and their oil infrastructure, creating a market of more than $115 billion over the coming decade. This prediction is part of a new market research report published on May 27 by Homeland Security Research Corp. (HSRC), titled: “Saudi Arabia Homeland Security Market – 2009-2018.”

Oil and policy experts around the world are unanimous in their opinion that a significant damage to Saudi Arabia’s oil exporting facilities or a major regime changing event in the kingdom might precipitate a debilitating economic crisis, possibly plunging the world’s economy into a deep recession, caused by a sharp increase in energy prices.

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where a vast majority of its homeland security components report directly to the royal court, and not to the ministries of Defense, Security or Interior. In the 1950s, the Kingdom dedicated about 30% of its GDP to protecting itself. Currently, the allocation for HLS is about 5%, a modest expenditure by comparison.

Over the coming decade, Saudi Arabia’s homeland security market is forecasted to be the largest after that of the U.S. The Kingdom boasts 24 separate agencies and organizations, arranged in a three-tier structure, employing more than 250,000 personnel (a number that is expected to grow by an additional 35,000 over the forecast period).

In several sectors, the Saudi homeland security market is forecasted to be even larger that that of America’s. For example, HSRC forecasts that the Kingdom will spend more than the U.S. on fortifying its borders with Iraq and Yemen (as opposed to the U.S’s expenditure on similar efforts along the Mexican and Canadian borders).

Saudi Arabia’s Homeland Security market is unlike any other market in the world. It is the only country whose very survival is threatened by terrorism resulting from both internal (homegrown infiltration of Al Qaeda and the Shia minority) and external forces (e.g. the threat of a nuclear Iran, an annual Hajj pilgrimage of millions, the security of 24% of the world’s oil reserves threats).

With nearly unlimited monetary resources resulting from the soaring price of oil, the Kingdom created a complex maze of 24 redundant HLS-HLD organizations numbering more than 250,000 people.

Actively spending its resources on state-of-the-art technologies and services, Saudi Arabia is creating globally unparalleled business opportunities some of which include:

This landmark report represents several researcher years, dozens of interviews, and in-depth analysis of thousands of documents; the resulting produce is a comprehensive roadmap of this huge and intriguing Homeland Security market.

Some highlights include:

• Detailed deciphering of the complex multi-tier, inter-dependent, Saudi organizations, employing over 250,000 people, and devoted exclusively to HLS - making major procurement decisions
