The military simulation and virtual training market has seen dramatic growth in the last decade and it is expected to grow steadily over the next ten years. Increasing concerns over training costs, time and risk of life have forced military forces around the world to adapt technologies such as computer-based simulators and computer wargames in military training. Most importantly, simulation and virtual training have so far proved to be not only cost-effective but also an effective way to train military staff in a wide range of activities. Those functions range from weapons training to flying and even medical training. Both combat and non-combat applications for military simulations and gaming technologies with increase significantly during the period 2008-2018, concludes this brand-new in-depth defence market report - The Military Simulation and Virtual Training Market 2008-2018.

"The 2008 Maryland Fast 50 companies are especially noteworthy this year given their remarkable growth in a challenging business environment. As a firm that works with many of the world's most successful technology and life science businesses, Morrison & Foerster is proud to be associated with the great companies being honored today," said Tom Knox, Partner and Co-Chair of the firm's East Coast and Europe Corporate Practices.

Winners are selected based on percentage revenue growth over five years from 2003 to 2007. To be considered, Technology Fast 50 entrants must: have operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2003 and at least $5,000,000 in 2007; be headquartered in Maryland; be a "technology company," defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of its operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify. Subsidiaries and divisions are not eligible, unless they have some public ownership and are separately traded.

    The Technology Fast 50 company rankings are as follows:

    2008 Rank      Company Name                      City           5yr%
     1             Hughes Communications, Inc.     Germantown     138,762%
     2             Telkonet, Inc.                  Germantown     14,956%
     3             Bill Me Later, Inc.             Timonium       6,848%
     4             Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.   Bethesda       2,128%
