Germany: Biometrics Figure in € 31 Billion Defense Budget

Germany Defence Budget Estimated at Around USD 41 Billion (TransWorldNews)

With no exclusive organizations focused on fighting terrorism, Germany's homeland security expenditure is largely concerned with the security of its borders and the international threat of terrorism. Indeed, while Germany is expected to procure biometric identification systems to prevent illegal immigration by increased efficiency in border patrol, attractive opportunities are forecast to emerge in the areas of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), all-terrain vehicles, satellite radar systems and, if it were to pull out of its ongoing A400M development program, military transport aircraft.
