Ten4- sure, I agree there is competition. But none of them have development grants from TSA ( that I know of).
IMSC is intimate with the latest Checkpoint specification-- huge advantage that I think CLAMS must run-fast with.
TSA's new purchase model does foretell a "free-for-all/ad hoc" type purchase plan. But one way to deminish your competitor- develop a high res. ETD, get it on the QPL and purchased. First to the QPL wins.
For IMSC a field of dreams awaits that moment as it opens the entire USA market for ETD/ DTD. Then, it would not be far fetched to have a 150-E in state police crusier and certainly 2 at every courthouse entry.
Also, hand held ETD might become a larger layer. Right now, its a alternate/random check. Not a full fledged layer like AIT.
McGann was COO so this whole debacle is not a surprise. They had 100 days to do plenty and matter of fact, the 150-E should be building its QDP for early May submission, at least according to my schedule. No sense hanging at the water cooler, get in the skunkworks and get'r done.
