2004 World Yearbook • Maritime Security ers, for a total of $75 million ... the sec- ond acquisition for Smiths Detection in 2004. SensIR supplies analyzers for the identification of potentially hazardous substances in solid and liquid form. Its products are principally used by military forces and the emergency services, notably first responders, hazmat (haz- ardous material) teams and fire services worldwide. The acquisitions help to complement an already impressive product line-up. that includes these non-intrusive inspec- tion sources: Trace detection: Biological Agent Detection: Chemical Agent Detection: Explosives Detection; Forensic; Fuel Vapor Monitoring; Meteorological Measuring; and Narcotics Detection. Horvath counts this breadth as strategically advanta- geous. "No single product is capable of mitigating all potential threats." He notes that there is no "silver bullet" security solution. Growing opinion among security professionals confirms that the layering of multiple technolo- gies offers the greatest level of protec- tion. "Its extensive range of detection tech- nologies allows Smiths Detection to secure access points from multiple threats, as opposed to the single product providers that have traditionally occu- pied this space."
