IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- "President Bush's statements Tuesday night addressing a spate of issues concerning international terrorism and security were but the most recent reminder of the necessity for readiness and homeland defense," stated SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "The horror of 9/11 has taught us in many ways what it is like to live like an Israeli under the inauspicious cloud of those who would do us harm."
"The president's remarks and focus on anti-terrorism issues is an obvious reminder that life has changed and will continue to change," Clark added. "And technology must rise to meet the demands of a society that will endeavor to protect itself in new and innovative ways."
"Coincidentally, Technest Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TCNH) announced the day after the State of the Union that they had delivered their first order of simulator equipment to the U.S. military for evaluation and chemical detection training operations," Clark said.
Technest Holdings, Inc. is a provider of advanced remote sensor systems, chemical detectors, intelligent surveillance and advanced 3D imaging technology solutions to the defense and homeland security marketplaces. Technest is committed to setting next-generation standards in defense and security through the provision of innovative emerging technologies and expert services.
