Convergence is happening across industries and markets at great pace and the security sector is no different from other infrastructure related markets such as energy and transportation. As city populations and GDP continue to rise through urbanisation, so does the threat level, with increased populations leading to anonymity and the prevalence and clustering of high threat targets presenting terrorist groups with attractive opportunities.

This research investigates the current status of the United States missile defense initiative. Many of the "Star Wars" aspects of the programs have been replaced by more readily achievable goals. The Navy's Standard Missile-3 has become one of the "stars" of the current efforts, as has the Army's Patriot-based PAC-3 missile. These known technologies have been enhanced and coupled with highly capable radar systems based on the Aegis and AN/TPY-2 radar. While a significant RDT&E effort will continue on the more exotic forms of missile defense, these will form the basis of the US missile defense for the immediately foreseeable future. This research looks at the programs, the funding, the competitors and the likely future of the programs.

The U.S. Government has a number of procurement vehicles for the commercial off the shelf (COTS) information technology that they buy on a routine basis. This market is experiencing a shift regarding the acquisition of products and services. Within the past few years, agency-specific contracts have garnered more attention from federal agencies due to key factors such as adaptability and lower pricing. Alleviating risks related to procurements is the overall key reason for federal agencies gravitating towards agency-specific contracts. With the General Services Administration (GSA) offering strategic partnering for those agencies, not only can procurement risks be mitigated, but monitoring of contracting activity increases significantly.
