Objective Following the January and November 2015 terror attacks in Paris, the need of Governments for identification and securitychecking systems to provide safety and control to critical infrastructure and people have increased dramatically. It isexpected in next years that nations will invest billions of dollars in security systems to upgrade and improve the safety andsecurity of the country (European ETD market will be worth $4.2 billion with a CAGR of 14% during 2015-2020).NTA strategic intent is to develop, manufacture and sell sophisticated systems for the security, safety and defenseindustries.NTA has developed proprietary technologies used in explosives and narcotics trace detection (“ETD” and “NTD”,respectively) applications. These systems are used by private companies and government agencies to screen baggage,cargo, other objects and people for the detection of trace amounts of explosives and narcotics.More specifically, NTA aims at launching on the market a new generation of universal instruments for pressure and chemicalmeasurements providing at the same time huge system simplification and high effectiveness.NTA Value Proposition is to provide its customers with instruments for selective and sensitive detection of explosives thatare characterized by significant design simplification and high cost efficiency.The proposed feasibility study has the aim to evaluate the technological, economic and financial sustainability of the project.In particular, the specific objectives of the feasibility study are:- complete final layout and product design, prototype experimental set up and select key suppliers;- define the certification phases;- enhance all measures to protect company’s knowledge;- fine tune the executive dissemination and exploitation plan;- elaborate the executive business plan.The overall project will allow NTA to reach a leadership role in the ETD sector, attaining a strong growth in market share,turnover and employment.
