Laguna Research Partners on Homeland Defense: Kevin B. Skislock, Partner and CEO, Laguna Research Partners http://www.lrponline.net.

Laguna Research Partners (LRP) is one of very few Wall Street research firms covering Homeland Defense as an industry per se. The cornerstone of the firms 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 physical/digital security and weapons subcontractors sectors.
LRP sees tremendous 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, is 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, will probably be dedicated to the rapid deployment of this next generation of technologies and weaponry. Further, according to LRP, the introduction of next generation technologies, particularly in the threat detection arena, will come sooner than most observers expect.
