INDESEC Expo 2010: Terror, Asymmetric Warfare, Security Major Focus Areas | India Defence
To safeguard India from the asymmetric threat of international terrorism, the government is readdressing its internal security strategy, markedly increasing the budget allocation and fast tracking procurements of homeland security and defence systems.
It is within this climate that the second edition of the INDESEC Expo series will open in New Delhi on Monday. The three-day INDESEC is the only exhibition and conference held in India, integrating the homeland security and defence sectors with a key focus on homeland & border security, network centric operations and maritime security.
Supported by the ministry of home affairs and organized by Informa in association with Assocham, the expo will have the largest participation from the UK, US, Sweden, France, and Taiwan. "There will be 13 countries and 75 companies from all over the world participating at this event," the organizers told FE On how INDESEC is clearly differentiated from any other defence or security events held in India, Brigadier Raj Manchanda, director, Informa Exhibitions India said, As the distinction between security and defence becomes less relevant, the co-ordination between ministries, police, coastguard and the three services becomes hugely important. Their shared knowledge and experience will increase the chance of procuring the right equipment on time and at the right price.
US-based Northrop Grumman through its UK office will be participating at INDESEC 2010 where it will highlight a range of its key capabilities dedicated to civil defence, national security and resilience. "Northrop Grumman will be exhibiting in the UK pavilion being led by UK Trade and Investment Defence Services Organisation (UKTI DSO) and the trade association ADS and will focus on its UK-based technologies and capabilities. This follows the recent British government visit to India to reinforce trade links," company executives told FE.
Some of the UK companies are exhibiting for the first time, others are returning to seek opportunities in India in the competitive security sector. The global market for security products and services is estimated to be worth between $140-180Bn per annum and is growing. UK security exports for 2009 were around £1.4b. UK security sector has over 8,000 companies specializing in the design, manufacture & supply of equipment.
The USIndia Business Council will embark on its inaugural Homeland Security Executive Mission to coincide with INDESEC Expo 2010. This exploratory mission comes on the heels of nine aerospace & defense executive missions to India since 2001 promoting a deeper defense and strategic partnership between India and the US. On the ground, USIBC will engage with AMCHAM-India and Assocham to facilitate industry interaction.
"US industry's participation in, and support of, Indias security sector will not only provide India with the best equipment, but will also boost job creation in both countries through technology sharing, partnerships, and high-end manufacturing."
