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
