Anti-Terrorism, Bio-Defense and National Security require many specialist skills. In one aspect of this, Momentum has internationally recognized expertise. We can help to develop close partnerships among the many different groups working in this area – police, firefighters, emergency medical care, military, defense-intelligence, public healthcare agencies, healthcare facilities, citizen groups, medical companies, research institutions,...

For all these different groups to collaborate with each other, and at a level that has never been done before, requires a very high level of specialist support. Until September 11, in fact, throughout most of their history, these groups worked very successfully and independently of each other, and now, in many cases, a completely new model of collaborative working is necessary.
