LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (June 11,
2013) – WinterGreen Research announces that it has a new study on Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol Ground Robot Mobile Platform Systems
of Engagement. The 2013 study has 587 pages, 206 tables and figures. Worldwide
markets are poised to achieve significant growth as platforms of engagement
leverage mobile device capability worldwide. Even as the US presence in Iraq
and Afghanistan winds down, automated process implemented as mobile platform
systems of engagement are being used to fight terrorists and protect human
life. These robots are a new core technology in which all governments must
invest.
Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border
Patrol ground robot market growth comes from the device marketing experts
inventing a new role as technology poised to be effective at the forefront of
fighting terrorism. Markets at $4.5 billion in 2013 reach $12.0 billion by
2019. Growth is based on the adoption of automated process by Law Enforcement,
First Responder, Border Patrol organizations worldwide. This automated process
implemented as a combination of software for innovation and robotic platforms
is not the traditional Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol system.
They are systems of engagement that
have arms and sensors, tracks and wheels, motors and solid state batteries.
These systems of engagement support leveraging smart phones and mobile
platforms. The aim is to achieve a broader, more intelligent Law Enforcement,
First Responder, Border Patrol presence in every area of the globe.
In the last decade, the U.S. Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol poured money into unmanned ground
systems to help protect troops against improvised explosive devices. There is
the issue that the Defense Department needs to repurpose all those robots once
the war in Afghanistan comes to a close. The wider market for Law Enforcement,
First Responder, Border Patrol ground robots will develop as a mechanism to
fight terrorism in response to the bombings in Boston and elsewhere. Bombing of
civilians is a very serious matter and needs to be addressed with mobile
platforms that prevent terrorist acts.
While the Army’s committed to
unmanned ground systems, appears to be slowing, this commitment is anticipated
to heat up again quickly. the investment priorities are anticipated to change
as the Defense Department realizes that investments in ground robots are needed
to fight terrorism everywhere.
Just as troops leave Afghanistan, so
also the robots that worked alongside them leave. The difference is that the
robots are finding new uses as mobile security platforms that protect against
the loss of human life The Army plans to upgrade 2,700 of its existing Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol robot systems for use in training
or further deployments.
Another 2,469 will be divested and
given to Defense Department partners or other government agencies. The U.S. Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol ’s spending on UGVs appears as
though it might decrease according to the words coming out of the defense
department, but as Congress assesses the damage from the Boston bombing, it
will become apparent that there is only one choice fro fighting terrorists
efficiently and that is through the use of Law Enforcement, First Responder,
Border Patrol ground robotic platforms that function as mobile systems of
engagement. Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol ground robot market
shares and market forecast analysis considers that Law Enforcement, First
Responder, Border Patrol ground robots have a vast new market based on their
ability to protect human life in the event of terrorist attack. This was proved
virtually in the recent Boston terrorist attack when one of the Watertown
police officers pulled the emergency brake on a police vehicle and rolled it up
next to the terrorists in the stolen SUV Mercedes. Without actually being in
the car, the local police officers were able to spook both terrorists by making
them think they were being directly flanked.
The terrorists thought the vehicle
really had police offices in it and shot toward it and detonated bombs in the
rogue vehicle. The virtual robot vehicle did its job of protecting the lives of
the Watertown police officers and of catching the bad guys. Both terrorists
were captured using robots, the robot car (actually a real car that was pushed
into a bad situation as a robot would be, thus simulating a robot) and the
robots that were used in the boat where the other terrorist was hiding to
inspect the situation had a direct role in capturing the terrorists. Thus the
Boston bombing illustrates a whole new use for Law Enforcement, First
Responder, Border Patrol robots in terrorist situations.
In this manner, robot vehicles are
sure to be used to fight terrorism going forward. It should be noted that
though all the resources of the federal government and state government were
directed toward solving the crime, that it was the very very local group of
police, the Watertown police department who did much of the work.
It was the local Watertown police
department members who were engaged in a firefight with terrorists and who had
to think on their feet to capture the bad guys and do it without getting killed
themselves or endangering other civilians.
It is to the credit of the local
police department that they were able to do this and it is noteworthy that they
did use Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol robots in the endeavor
and the police vehicle that doubled as a Law Enforcement, First Responder,
Border Patrol robot presages more use of Law Enforcement, First Responder,
Border Patrol style robots by local police departments.
The defense industry is entering a
new era. Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol robotics are poised to
play a significant role in achieving change in security delivery. With
battlefield engagements winding down, terrorism has emerged as a constant and
current threat. The recent terrorist bombings in Boston and other cities
worldwide illustrate that threat. Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border
Patrol robots are the best practice technology for dealing with terrorists in
many cases.
According to Susan Eustis, the lead
author of the study, “the purchase of Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border
Patrol robots s is driven by the need for modernization of the Law Enforcement,
First Responder, Border Patrol . The new Law Enforcement, First Responder,
Border Patrol is dependent on flexibility and early response. The use of Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol robots s is based on providing a
robot that is less expensive to put in the field than a trained soldier and
support the desire to keep the trained soldiers out of harm’s way. That
automation of process and modernization has appeal to those who run the Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol .
Robots are automating Law
Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol ground systems, permitting vital
protection of soldiers and people in the field, creating the possibility of
reduced fatalities. Mobile robotics operate independently of the operator.
We hear from Law Enforcement, First
Responder, Border Patrol leaders all over the world that the plan going forward
is to utilize automated process to replace the warfighters and keep them out of
the line of fire. The Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol robot
market.is evolving in this context.
Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border
Patrol ground robot market forecast analysis indicates that vendor strategy is
to pursue developing new applications that leverage leading edge technology.
Robot solutions are achieved by leveraging the ability to innovate, to bring
products to market quickly. Law Enforcement, First Responder, Border Patrol
purchasing authorities seek to reduce costs through design and outsourcing.
Vendor capabilities depend on the ability to commercialize the results of
research in order to fund further research. Government funded research is
evolving some more ground robot capability.
