Laguna Research Partners on Homeland Defense
In late 2001, Laguna Research Partners (LRP) was the first research firm to define and initiate coverage of Homeland Defense as an industry per se. The cornerstone of the firm's Homeland Defense coverage is its Homeland Defense Industry Operating Performance Index which tracks the revenue and profit performance of 18 Homeland Defense companies in the "homefront" and "battlefront" sectors of the industry.
LRP sees significant revenue and profit opportunities for both large and small capitalization companies involved in Homeland Defense. The "first wave" of government spending for homeland defense, as LRP sees it, was dedicated to 1) deploying pre-9-11-01 anti-terror technologies and weaponry as quickly as possible and 2) accelerating the development of the next generation of anti-terror technologies and weaponry. The "second wave" of government spending, says LRP, is primarily dedicated to the on-going deployment of this next generation of technologies and weaponry
