Understanding emerging technologies requires in-depth knowledge of various technical disciplines and an ability to objectively evaluate the capability, readiness, and application of those disciplines to current systems and markets. Futron provides this type of unique expertise to our customers, which enables us to produce authoritative, realistic, and comprehensive analyses of emerging technologies. Futron can provide the following types of assessments:

• Economic impact analysis
  What impact does the space industry have on the U.S. economy as a whole? What is the marginal value of a technology modification?
• Decision support
  When choosing among technology options, what are the tradeoffs to consider? Which choice will provide you the best value for your investment?
• Independent cost estimating and analysis
  How realistic are the cost estimates you have received? Are your contractors overestimating the impact of a policy change?
• Acquisition support
  What factors should be considered prior to acquiring a new business unit? What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the business you are considering purchasing? What levels of quality and reliability do the products have? What are the assets worth?
• Technology investment analysis
  If you are considering investing in a new technology, which one will provide you with a higher payoff on that investment? Is the technology going to be around in another year? Is there any demand out there?

Futron utilizes an extensive range of analytic techniques to address all aspects of emerging technology applications. Also, Futron's products are clearly written, concise, and customized to your needs.
