Defense Contribution l    However technology alone can do nothing without proper operational and organizational vision. l    Defense community has accumulated over the passed 50 years a unique experience: -Architecture of complex systems,      - Command and control,       - Intelligence collection and management, - … l  Also security requires key technologies developed for military purpose:       - Detection and surveillance (Infrared, radars, ELINT),      - Secured communications and encryption, l   Homeland security needs unique cross-fertilization between information technology and military expertise.

IT based security has already Started THALES, as a major defense company, has been largely contributing to the improvement of homeland security in many countries, by developing and deploying IT based security systems. l   Some achievements are well known: - Border surveillance, - Airport and harbor security systems, - C3 center for crisis management, - Turn-key security for major events (World cup, Olympic games,…) - Securized management of data base for intelligence organizations - Securized electronic transaction systems. l More restricted examples can give a better view of possible benefits for a common security.

Strong Commitment for the Defense of Korea Samsung Electronics and THALES have joined their forces in 2000 to contribute developing local defense industry, through their 50/50 joint-venture SAMSUNG-THALES (STC).

Def. 100% Defense electronics and systems Aerospace Security Def. 70% Civil 30%

For Homeland Security    As the single Asian joint-venture is defense, STC enjoys a 4-year success story: -  15% growth rate, -  1 trillion won backlog With the support of its parent companies, STC will expand its business scope from defense only, to major domains of homeland security.

Homeland security is everybody’s business In a knowledge-based civilization irrigated by Information Technology, Defense systems and Civilian security systems are now converging in a same fight for homeland security.
