NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Although the effects of the coronavirus pandemic were far reaching, the security defense industry proved to be resilient enough to weather this storm. As a matter of fact, Defense News estimates that the top 100 defense companies raked in a combined $551 billion in 2020 representing a 5% increase compared to the prior year. Going forward, it appears that this trend is likely to continue as illustrated by President Biden's $715 billion defense budget proposal, a $10 billion increase from the previous allocation as he shifts focus from the Middle East to emerging threats from China. For companies like Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd (TSXV: SCAN) (OTCQB: LDDFF), Evolv Technologies Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: EVLV), ShotSpotter (NASDAQ: SSTI), OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) and Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ: HON) this signals a promising opportunity which if well capitalized on could further strengthen these companies' position in the industry.
