Article Excerpt:

Homeland Security: Private innovation key to public success.
By Allen R. Gibson
“Homeland Security is too important to be left to the government alone.”
That is the unofficial motto of the Homeland Security Fund, says one of the fund’s principals at Paladin Capital Group, Dr. Alf Andreassen.
“Homeland Security is a team sport,” he adds, “and companies must realize that the market is one part government and three parts commercial, and that each market has very different sensitivities.”
Darryl Moody, Senior VP for Homeland Security of Bearing Point Inc. agrees, “This takes a team approach. You need to be willing to work with and understand the point of view and different business models of potential partners. Since 9-11, for example, there has been a convergence of three communities – law enforcement, emergency preparedness and response, and intelligence – that didn’t have much overlap prior to 9-11. Now we realize that no one has the single answer, and we all have to work together.”
Dr. Andreassen points out defense was struggling in the years prior to 9-11. “Over the past 15 years, US force structure and the military intelligence function both suffered serious cutbacks. So real innovation that was relevant to homeland security was being done in the corporate world.”
His partner Lt. Gen. Ken Minihan, a former head of the National Security Agency, saw NSA’s budget shrink 38% in a decade.
“After 9-11 there was a feeling that money would flow into the sector very quickly and that a lot of innovations would take place,” says Andreassen, ”But so much of what was initially needed was filling store shelves for our first responders.”
Now that first responders supply needs are being taken care of, the focus is shifting towards applying new technologies in a cost-effective manner. After all, with over 80% of the nation’s critical infrastructure in commercial, not government, hands, cost-effectiveness is a key requirement.
