Abstract:
This study addresses the challenges and opportunities that small European states face when weighing their defence industrial policy options. The article builds on a technology–based small state industry governance model by adding a defence industry–specific layer. This model is used to analyse how defence industries of small states could contribute to the European Union common defence industrial policy, and how the latter could likewise be beneficial to small member states. The paper discusses defence industrial policy challenges and opportunities both from the wider European Union and small state perspective. Global and regional geopolitical trends are explored among other specific topics, as are aspects of regional and domestic governance like the market structure, procurement, and R&D. The article concludes that small European states could both win and lose with the establishment of a common defence market, depending on the market design. Ideally, it should be combined with the simultaneous creation of an EU defence industrial policy that enables smaller, and especially less developed, member states to maintain and advance their own industries, preferably participating within the value chains of defence industries of the larger countries.

Abstract:
This article analyses the dynamics of differentiated integration in EU defence. It contributes to assessing what Pernille Rieker (2021) terms ‘broader European capacity on the global stage’ involving both the EU’s defence structures and processes as well as those beyond the EU’s formal remit. The main argument in this article is that Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) is bringing about two different and mutually complementary dynamics of integration: organizational field formation and segmentation. The preliminary practical result is a dual dynamic of growing standardization of the EU’s defence industries across all twenty-five PESCO Member States in defence project development and continued reliance on Western European defence industrial actors (including the UK after Brexit) in defence R&D and production. This means that while PESCO provides space for new joint defence projects across the participating Member States, the established structure and capacities of defence industries in the EU today set up conditions for what may be termed structural leadership by Western European defence industrial actors. Overall, this means that there is a particular – segmented – kind of differentiated integration in the field of EU defence industries in today’s EU (This article is an output of the EUFLEX project, which has been funded by the Research Council of Norway (project number 287131).).

Abstract:
While the threat and use of force remain elements or even possibilities in world affairs, the political importance of the defence industries will be substantial. Defence industries must be viewed as significant because of the contribution that they make to allowing states to deter attack and to use force. But they also have an economic and technological significance. In the UK, France and the US, defence equipment represents about 10 per cent of total manufacturing output. Equipment orders from home and abroad provide employment for around 500,000 people in the UK, at least 300,000 in France, and over two million in the US. The US Department of Defence, the Pentagon, employs 134,000 people just to procure equipment worth about $130 billion involving 15 million contracts a year. Defence equipment is big business and is particularly important today in the aerospace, electronics and shipbuilding sectors. Between a quarter and a third of professional technologists and scientists in Britain, France and the US work in the defence sector.

Abstract:
The degree and nature of government involvement in the production of war materials has changed markedly in recent years. This dissertation traces events that have occurred and the background to these. It attempts to put in context, changes that have taken place particularly over the past decade, and which to date have not been placed in a connected sequence or described as part of an overall plan. The dissertation commences with a brief outline of the growth of defence industry in Australia and its subsequent decline in size and performance during the last forty years. From this base, it looks at options which faced governments at the beginning of the 1980's, decisions which were made, and the reasons for those decisions. It then goes on to examine whether the "best" options were followed from a number of viewpoints. These include defence strategic considerations, matters of probity and equity in the disposal of assets, (particularly the public good), as well as the impact on those affected by the decision. The process of change, including the extent to which decisions and their effects were scrutinised by external and auditing agencies, is then considered. The experience in this country has to a large extent paralleled, although lagged, that in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, appropriate references are brought from the UK experience to highlight alternatives to, or weaknesses of, the processes followed and policies implemented locally. Finally, the essay provides some discussion of the benefits and costs which have been observed so far, as well as postulating options which may be taken in Australia as the process of change continues.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the local defence-related industry as a beneficiary under the Department of Defence’s defence industrial participation (DIP) programme, managed by Armscor. Attention is given to the main construct of the development theory and how the DIP process in South Africa compares with the international reciprocal trade phenomena commonly referred to as ‘countertrade’. The author does an in-depth analysis of the Government’s policy regarding the defence-related industry (DRI) that forms part of the local defence industrial base (DIB), as well as the DIP policy, procedures and practices and their subsequent bearing on the local defence industry. The study is further substantiated with a comprehensive review of the consequences and outcomes resulting from the largest defence package deal (SDP), signed in December 1999, between the Department of Defence and several major foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and subsequently benchmarked against academic discourse on the subjects of international countertrade and development theories.

Full text
Abstract:
Italy became one of the major exporters of arms by the early 1980s, behind only the United States, the Soviet Union, and France. Although its position was later overtaken, it remained one of Europe's main producers and suppliers, without the presence of pronounced military and foreign policy ambitions at the state level. The military industries grew as a result of Italy's close association with other Western and in particular the American defence establishment beginning in the late 1940s. The Italians had access to some of the most advanced military technology through co-production and licence arrangements with its senior allies. By the 1970s, the defence area became the fastest growing sector of the Italian economy when markets were exploited mainly in the Third World. Although about two-thirds of the industry was state-owned, Italian businessmen acted independently in selling arms through Italian trade networks which thrived with very little government direction or intervention. The absence of government assistance actually appeared to favour the export of Italian weapons, because the lack of interest in the sector also meant that Italy maintained perhaps the most lenient export legislation in the West. As the industry expanded, manufacturers availed themselves increasingly of representatives of the foreign trade ministry, the secret services and military attaches abroad in the promotion of Italian war equipment. And as Italy came into the circle of the world's major economic powers, its politicans attempted for a time to adopt the defence industry as a tool of international prestige. However supporters of the industry did not resolve the contradiction between the low priority Italy continued to give to defence and foreign policy, and the success of the country's industrialists in supplying arms to areas of tension. As business began to decline sharply in the late 1980s for Italy's defence firms, industrialists turned to the possibility of reconversion programs.

Miah, Abdul. "Product-based environmental metrics for use within aerospace, defence, space and security industries (ADS)." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2018. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/845983/.

Full text
Abstract:
Within the aerospace, defence, space, and security (ADS) industries, there is a growing reporting requirement and interest in understanding and reducing the environmental impacts of products and related risks to business. This dissertation presents the research carried out in collaboration with six ADS companies (ADS Group, Airbus Group, BAE Systems, Bombardier Aerospace, Granta Design, and Rolls-Royce) to establish industry methods for consistently measuring and reporting two pre-selected product-based environmental indicators identified as important to the industry: energy consumption and access to resources. Following an action research approach, four potential methods for calculating and reporting the manufacturing energy footprint of ADS products were identified and industry tested on three case study parts selected by Airbus Group, Bombardier Aerospace, and Rolls-Royce. Methods tested were: (1) Direct measurement, (2) Theoretical calculation, (3) Facility level allocation of energy consumption (based on annual production hours, quantity, and weight of parts manufactured), and (4) Approximation based on generic data. Method 3 (Production Hours) was found to be the most suitable “single” method for immediately reporting the manufacturing energy footprint of parts as it was quick to implement and based on widely available industry data. Regarding the comparability of methods, methods were found to be incomparable and produce significantly different results when applied to calculate the manufacturing energy footprint of the same part. Differences in the comparison of two methods could be in the order of one magnitude based on findings. Such large differences are significant for understanding energy use/costs, environmental impacts (e.g. carbon footprint), and reliably reporting and comparing information for informing decisions. Therefore, methods for calculating the manufacturing energy footprint of products cannot be assumed to be interchangeable and stacked in LCAs, EPDs, and other standards. These findings challenge current LCA practices and the interpretation of product-based environmental declarations if multiple methods have been used and results stacked. Thus, existing standards and growing product-orientated environmental polices allowing for the use of multiple methods (e.g. EPDs and PEFs) may indeed proliferate incomparability rather than engender comparability. Regarding approximating product energy footprints using generic data, the research was only able to approximate the machining energy consumption associated with the case study parts because of data gaps in the generic database. However, a high comparability between generic data use and direct measurement (i.e. specific/primary data) was found. These limited findings challenge attitudes towards generic data use and indicate potential scope to replace expensive primary data collection with more cost-effective (and similarly accurate) generic data. With regards to proposing a method for measuring the access to resources (A2R) product-based environmental indicator, several supply risk indicators and methodological choices for measuring the indicator were identified. Methodological choices included decisions such as to normalise and aggregate supply risk indicators into a single score. A workshop with the industry consortium was consequently carried out to explore and agree: (1) what indicators should be selected to appropriately measure A2R, and (2) how the selected indicators should be measured. Out of 18 potential supply risk indicators, five were identified as key: conflict material risk, environmental country risk, price volatility risk, sourcing and geopolitical risk, and monopoly of supply risk were selected because of clear links to legislation, use of reliable data, and effect on material prices. Regarding methodological choices for measuring A2R, the industry consortium preferred to avoid normalising and aggregating indicators to prevent masking information. The dissertation highlights several major contributions to knowledge, industry, policy, and the development of standards as a result of the research. The main contribution to knowledge is the methods developed and the learnings derived from the process undertaken to determine them. The main contribution and benefit to the ADS industries are single, practical, research informed, and industry consortium agreed methods for cost-effectively measuring two product-based environmental indicators (which support the informational requirements of a wide range of stakeholders and potential end-uses). The examined indicators and the 'case study’ approach utilised with an industry consortium to identify the generic issues in developing suitable methods will be of value for: (1) other industries with similar product/value chain characteristics, and (2) the development of methods for measuring other product-based environmental indicators for industry use (e.g. water, waste, recyclability, etc.). Presented research outcomes provide valuable industry insights for informing the development of emerging product-orientated environmental policies and standards in a manner which benefit the ADS industries and broader environment. Overall, the research has enhanced academic understanding and provides industry capability to support businesses and other similar industries to consistently assess, report, and improve the sustainability of their products and supply chains.

Abstract:
This research focuses on the effective implementation and continuous improvement methodologies for Configuration Management practices within aerospace and defence industries. The research is conducted mainly to develop a Configuration Management Maturity Model which is based on Critical Success Factors and Barriers to Configuration Management implementation. The motives behind this research were the lack of understanding and problems in the implementation of high-grade Configuration Management systems as highlighted by other researchers. The research is conducted in three phases through interviews and questionnaire surveys with experienced Configuration Management professionals working in aerospace and defence industries. The first part of this research identifies, prioritizes, and categorizes the Critical Success Factors for Configuration Management and devises a Configuration Management Activity Model to help practationers in the effective implementation and continuous improvement of the process. The second part of the research sets out to identify and prioritize the obstacles to effective implementation of Configuration Management practices, categorized these obstacles into more manageable groups of factors, and analysed the effects of multiple factors on identification and rating of these barriers. Both studies were conducted through mixed method research with in-depth interviews followed by questionnaire surveys. The governance aspect of the process is also investigated to a great deal in the second part through interviews to conclude on process governance in various setups. The third part of this research is related to the development of a Configuration Management Maturity Model. It is important to note that other maturity models on the topic are generic in nature and emphasis on ‘what’ to implement instead of ‘how’ to implement which has left a gap of uncertainty that forced us to devise a suitable framework. The Configuration Management Maturity Model is an assessment tool which not only provides benchmark information but also helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the process. This maturity framework is unique in its presentation and unlike previous maturity models, is based on current Configuration Management practices, Critical Success Factors, and Barriers to Configuration Management implementation. This maturity model will help organizations to assess their current level of maturity, identify rational targets for improvements, and will help in providing action plans for enhancing their configuration management process capability. Like the previous two studies, this part of the research is conducted through semi-structured interviews followed by questionniare surveys.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis alms to develop a comprehensive understanding of cross-project learning in multiple-project environments. Cross-project learning is the process through which technologies are transferred and reused within organisations. Recent years have seen a growing interest in cross-project learning. However, research in this area has emphasised the rational, classical approach to crossproject learning. Also, the majority of research on cross-project learning has largely been on the automobile industry in Japan and the USA. Thirdly, research in this field has failed to assess the impact that cross-project learning has had on other organisational processes in product development. The conclusions of these studies are context-specific, fragmented and lack any critical assessment of the process of introducing cross-project learning. This study argues that a rather different approach to cross-project learning is needed. A three-level analysis is applied in the present study that highlights operational, dysfunctional and strategic aspects in cross-project learning. The empirical core of the research is the evidence from three in-depth case studies conducted in the Israeli electronics defence industry. Three different approaches to cross-project learning have been identified at the operational level, offering organisational mechanisms and managerial practices that have not previously been reported. At the dysfunctional operations level, the study reveals that the introduction of innovations in cross-project learning has impacted the past harmony between expertise development and knowledge management practices. The findings suggest that this harmony has broken down while the knowledge management and expertise development practices have been further transformed and developed. Lastly, at the strategic level of analysis, two potential cross-project learning strategies have been detected: exploit product success and design to reuse. A contingency model that emphasises the evolutionary development path of 'modes of reusability', subject to the 'strategic development' of the studied companies, concludes this study.

Full text
Abstract:
This doctoral thesis seeks to answer the question what factors influence Trade Union representation? Using a case study design, the researcher uses documentary analysis and elite, semi-structured interviews, to evaluate the knowledge and experiences of union representatives, both nationally and workplace based, working in the MoD sector of Unite. This study of a relatively under-researched part of the public sector, demonstrates that for union representation to be effective: the union needs to be recognised for the purpose of collective bargaining; members need access to shop stewards and full time officials; clear structures need to be in place, demonstrating how the union should function; and the union needs to be able to protect and further the interests of its members. It is concluded that in the MoD sector of Unite this does not happen, meaning that representation is not effective. This research highlights a need for greater appreciation of the complexities of the super or conglomerate type unions that have emerged in response to union decline. It demonstrates, in particular, the need for the seminal work of Turner (1962) to be systematically updated and for further research to be carried out into the influence of factions on union government. The contemporary relevance of this research relates to the dramatic cuts to facility time that it analyses, alongside the government’s privatisation policies, providing empirical evidence of the difficulties that could be faced by British trade unions, if the Trade Union Reform Bill, going through parliament at the time of writing, is passed into law. The MoD Employee Relations review can be seen as a test bed for the Bill’s components on the restriction of trade union facility time in the public sector, and this thesis is, therefore, timely.

The analytical case studies of some of the tribological solutions provided to the core industries in Central India by HVOF spraying are presented in this paper. The case studies presented in this paper are the reclamation of the Vertical shaft of a bowl mill used for feeding crushed coal to the power plant, the engine spares of the earth moving machinery of the mining industries and the press rolls made up of chilled cast alloy steel, of defence industry. The surface characteristics needed for these applications, along with high hardness, bond strength and thermal conductivity could be achieved by the HVOF spraying using Topgun. In all the cases, the component life has been increased few folds and a direct cost saving of 30-70% was achieved. In addition, such an optimized reclamation reduces the down-time loss and improves the working efficiency.

Abstract. Packaged optical fibre sensors offer excellent strength and resistance to environmental degradation, but the reported reliability and durability of fibres containing fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) varies greatly. This is partly due to the fabrication methodologies used to create the sensors. The trans-jacket grating inscription technique uses an infrared laser to write gratings into the fibre core through the polymer coating. This method eliminates the need for harsh coating removal processes and exposure of the glass fibre core and thus dramatically reduces fibre damage during grating fabrication. In addition, the automated trans-jacket inscription process introduces greater flexibility to control the writing parameters, facilitating a consistent process for producing robust, fatigue resistant distributed FBG sensing arrays with reliable and repeatable performance that could revolutionise their application in structural health monitoring (SHM). This paper reports on the durability and reliability of Bragg gratings with different fibre geometries, dopants, and photo-sensitising approaches to compare the overall fatigue performance of trans-jacket FBG sensors. Both type I gratings which are inscribed using a laser power intensity below the damage threshold of the glass core, and type II gratings which are inscribed exceeding this threshold, are considered. The fatigue performance of these FBG sensors was assessed using a custom designed electro-dynamically actuated loading assembly. It is concluded that type I trans-jacket gratings have a significantly higher fatigue life compared to type II gratings for the same fatigue loading regime. Despite the lower fatigue life, type II trans-jacket gratings are found to perform significantly better than conventional electrical foil gauges. Therefore, trans-jacket gratings have significant potential for application as dense sensing arrays in harsh operational environments in defence and aerospace industries.

Abstract:
Ocean industries such as oil and gas, defence, and marine renewables, face the challenge of costly and risky deployments and operations due to their complex and capital intensive nature. Numerical simulation tools are valuable assets that can be used to anticipate motions and stresses and therefore inform structural and operational design before deployment. Simulation tools that can capture all pertinent hydrodynamic phenomena increase their value by reducing design time, uncertainty, risk and capital associated with a deployment. Validation of numerical tools is critical to ensure accuracy and reliability. The following paper reviews a framework for simulation of moored, multi-body, floating systems, including the component models employed, the results of a model verification study, and the challenges encountered in the project. Tank test data of a moored horizontal cylinder was provided for the purposes of numerical tool validation.

Abstract:
Systems engineering is the most important branch of engineering in interdisciplinary study. Successfully performing a multidisciplinary complex system is one of the most challenging tasks of systems engineering. Multidisciplinary study brings problems such as defining complex systems, ensuring communication between stakeholders, and common language among different design teams. In solving such problems, traditional systems engineering approach cannot provide an efficient solution. In this paper, a model-based systems engineering approach is applied with a case study and the approach is found to be more efficient. In the case study, the design of the helicopter automatic flight control system was realized by applying model-based design processes with integration of tools. Requirement management, system architecture management and model-based systems engineering processes are explained and applied of the case study. Finally, model-based systems engineering approach is proven to be effective compared with the traditional systems engineering methods for complex systems in aviation and defence industries.

Abstract:
Corrosion is the key factor responsible for the degradation of ship structures and in no place is this truer than water ballast tanks. Coating protection system is a continual research interest for classification societies and coating industries. Up to now, most coating performance analyses are qualitative not quantitative. Coating life prediction is almost always based on experience and various assumptions, due to unavailability of practical data support systems. This paper describes a preliminary impartial investigation of coating life carried out with interviewees from the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organization (DSTO), shipyards, coating supplier and an independent expert. Plate surface, edges and welds in ballast tank were considered and the influences of dry film thickness (DFT) and surface preparation (SP) are addressed. The investigation gives some insight into the life of practical coating systems for water ballast tanks. Coating life is proposed to be representable by a normal distribution when corrosion breakdown is below 10% of plate thickness, which is of practical implication.

Abstract:
Industrial sectors with interest in welding magnetic materials include the aerospace, electrical and defence industries [1]. The effects of CO2 laser welding and high temperatures (i.e. above the Curie temperature) on the magnetism of ferromagnetic materials were investigated. A 1.2 kW MFKP CO2 laser was used to weld the magnetic material at a constant power of 1 kW in the CW mode, for different welding translation velocities. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the magnetic field measurement system. This consisted of two orthogonal translation tables and an RS miniature Hall effect Sensor (HES), attached to an outlying platform from the larger translation table. The x-y motion was controlled via a microprocessor so that the HES was translated over the entire surface of the welded magnets (2 Alcomax magnets: 8% Al, 11.5% Ni, 21% Co, 4% Cu, Fe). The signal from the HES was signal conditioned and fed into a data acquisition card located in the PC. The magnetic field strength over the laser weld and surface of the specimen was measured before welding, immediately after welding and 3 days after welding. Figure 2 shows the spatial differences in the magnetic properties of the sample immediately after welding and Figure 3 the corresponding data 3 days after welding. The magnetisation of the weld pool and HAZ was reduced immediately after welding; 3 days later, during which the samples were isolated, magnetism recovered over the specimen except in the weld zone where it had been damaged and stayed unrecovered. A high translation velocity maximised the remagnetisation process and reduced the demagnetised zone and HAZ.

Abstract:
Since first appearing at the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread at a pace and scale not seen before. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. A rapid response was called for, and actors across the globe worked quickly to develop sets of preventative measures to contain the disease. One mode of transmission identified early on in the crisis was via surfaces and objects (fomites) (Howard et al. 2020). To combat this, hand hygiene was put forward as a key preventative measure and heralded as ‘the first line of defence against the disease’ (World Bank 2020). What followed was an unprecedented global focus on handwashing with soap. Health messages on how germs spread, the critical times at which hands should be washed, and methods for correct handwashing were shared (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2020). Political leaders around the world promoted handwashing and urged people to adopt the practice to protect against the coronavirus. The primary and secondary impacts of COVID-19 have affected people and industries in a variety of different ways. For the WASH sector, the centring of handwashing in the pandemic response has led to a sudden spike in hygiene activity. This SLH Rapid Topic Review takes stock of some of the cross-cutting challenges the sector has been facing during this period and explores the adaptations that have been made in response. It then looks forwards, thinking through what lies ahead for the sector, and considers the learning priorities for the next steps.
