http://www.Financialbuzz.com - According to a recent comprehensive research report conducted by IHS Markit, the global defense trade increased at a record pace last year, with the value of the market growing to $65 billion in 2015. The United States has remained the largest exporter if defense equipment, supplying $22.9 billion worth of equipment which is a major increase from $12.9 billion in 2009. The research explains that the jump in demand for defense technology is due to tensions in areas including the South China Sea, sustained demand in the Middle East, and a revival of the French defense system. Patriot One Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: PTOTF) (TSX-V: PAT.V), Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), United Technologies Corporation (NYSE: UTX), TASER International, Inc.
