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).). PESCO, differentiation, organizational field, segmentation

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 fundamental questions are simple. Can the Chinese defence industries make what the People's Liberation Army (PLA) needs? Can they develop and produce systems to allow the PLA first to overcome its problem of “short arms and slow legs,” secondly to move from brownwater coastal defence to green-water offshore defence (and eventually blue-water power projection), and thirdly successfully to conduct “limited wars under high-tech conditions”? Indeed, in a larger sense, can the defence industry, under the conditions and pressures of economic reform, survive except by “converting”? The answers, however, are not as simple as might be thought.

Abstract:

EU as a military actor is a hotly discussed topic in contemporary European Integration. At this time EU-led operations apparently show EU’s lack of market-scale defence industries, weakness of defence technological and industrial bases, and ineffectiveness of military cooperation programmes. Therefore, EU could try to improve its military operational capabilities through two approaches, namely the ‘NATO approach’ under the concept of CJTF and intra-European ‘EU-approach’ involving ECAP, Helsinki Headline Goal, and Headline Goal 2010, etc. Simultaneously, there is the EU-established European Defence Agency (EDA). Since 2004, EDA has served as the main driving force for promoting EU’s military capabilities. But an integrated and inter-operable EU force does not exist. Some challenges, e.g., the security exemption under Article 346, the government monopoly of the defence industries, the rush reduction of the defence budget, and the small scale of R&D investment, etc., could eliminate the functions of the EDA. Only when EU-MS strengthen their political willingness, accept the European-wide defence cooperation programmes, cooperate with the European Commission and ESDC, and utilize the Permanent Structured Cooperation under Lisbon Treaty, then EU can stably develop its military capability.

Abstract:

This paper looks at the difficulties experienced by both government and industry with the imposition of an accelerated defence programme in the early 1950’s. Shortages in manufacturing capacity, labour and resources forced government to interfere in industry at a time when it was believed that in order to regenerate Britain’s export potential industry had to be freed from the legacy of wartime controls. The impact was not, however, evenly spread but tended to cluster around the engineering industries. Apart from the obvious damage that this would cause to the export drive there was the added and less easily quantifiable problem that directing defence manufacturing to these industries rigidified a regional industrial structure despite government’s realisation of the need for a reevaluation of Britain’s industrial/regional heritage. This paper questions the thesis that the impact of the defence programme was marginal. While accepting the evidence that industry was at times reluctant to observe direction from Government and that indeed much of the programme was not fulfilled, examination of material from the government departments concerned with the programme shows that a confusion of aims may well have helped to undermine industry’s development in this crucial phase of post-war reconstruction.

Abstract:

Summary To date governments have been slow to appreciate that, as well as a peace dividend, arms reduction will bring social and economic hardship to communities which have relied upon defence expenditure for employment. Conversion of military bases, let alone restructuring of defence industries, cannot be left to market forces to achieve; government intervention is required to ensure the successful adjustment of communities. During the Cold War, the dominance of the “military-industrial complex” spread the notion that disarmament would threaten not only security, but jobs. Current geopolitical changes present an opportunity to challenge this argument. Local employment initiatives are essential to prevent defence cuts from causing unemployment.

Abstract:

Much of the alliance literature has focused on the collective defence benefits and burden-sharing. This article considers the potential for developing a defence industrial policy in a military alliance. Previous proposals from the literature are reviewed, especially proposals for economic specialization based on comparative advantage applied to both armed forces and defence industries in a military alliance. European Union (EU) defence policy is outlined, including its armaments agencies (OCCAR and the European Defence Agency), and inefficiencies in EU defence markets are identified. Economic theory offers some policy guidelines for an efficient defence industrial policy in a military alliance, including gains from trade and competition, from learning and scale economies, and from reducing the duplication of costly R&D. These economic principles are applied to the EU and are also applicable to NATO. Evidence of efficiency gains from trade and from economies of scale and learning is reviewed and applied to various scenarios for the creation of a Single European Market for defence equipment. The scenarios include a liberalized competitive market, a centralized EU procurement agency and a ‘twin-track’ model. Estimates are presented of the cost savings from these scenarios. However, proposals for an efficient defence industrial policy will be opposed by the potential losers who will prefer alternative industrial policies involving international collaboration and offsets. Among these alternatives, collaboration is assessed as a distinctive European policy. The inefficiencies of collaboration are reviewed, including its impact on development and production costs and on delays in delivery. Consideration is given to the research issues to be addressed by an economic evaluation of European collaborative projects. The article concludes by stressing the inefficiencies of current procurement policies in the EU and NATO and the potential cost savings from the adoption of a more efficient defence industrial policy within an alliance.

Abstract:

FOR FORTY YEARS THE COLD WAR, WITH ITS PRESUMED threat to Western Europe, has been used to justify the level of military budgets in NATO countries. The United States, Britain and France, in particular, have sustained high levels of military spending throughout this period. Each has sought to maintain capability across a full range of military options, including nuclear forces and the ability to intervene in Third World conflicts. Each has maintained a large, and quite stable, industrial and technological infrastructure in support of these military goals.With the ending of the cold war, the basis for that stability has been undermined. Defence spending is set to fall. With it will fall overall spending on defence equipment. But the rate of decline, and its distribution across the different sectors of the defence industry, remain to be determined. Upon the outcome turns the future of investment in defence technologies, with further consequences, complex in nature, for national and industrial technological capabilities. To complicate analysis further, these changes arise at a time of considerable concern on both sides of the Atlantic about industrial competitiveness. This concern had already led to upheaval in industrial structures and strategies within both the defence and the civil high technology industries.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) can be described as an approach for optimisation of in-service (logistics) activities and minimisation of the life cycle costs of a system. ILS is an integral part of systems engineering in aerospace and defence programmes.More recently, the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) has released a broad set of specifications for ILS, the so-called ASD ILS Suite. Most of these specifications are published in cooperation with the Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA) and one specification with AIA and the Airlines for America (A4A). Thus, the ASD ILS Suite is recognised and used in the largest aerospace and defence markets.The aim of this paper is to present the results of a critical review on the readiness of the ASD ILS Suite for its applicability in aerospace and defence programmes.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe United Kingdom's system of utility regulation – controlling prices rather than profits – is under increasing criticism. At the same time, the government continues to employ rate of return controls when purchasing from the defence and pharmaceutical industries. The existence of alternative regulatory regimes raises three questions. First, has price cap regulation enabled the UK utilities to earn excessive profits? Second, has profit regulation prevented excessive profitability in the defence and pharmaceutical industries? Third, how does profitability compare between price cap (utilities) and rate of return (defence/pharmaceuticals) regulation? Our results suggest that three of the four utilities studied have been able to earn rates of return that are considerably greater than in the corporate sector as a whole. Price caps have been far too lenient. In defence and pharmaceuticals there is less evidence of excessive profitability but these suppliers still earn 25 per cent more than comparable firms elsewhere.

Abstract:

Increasing international trade liberalization has dramatically dropped tariff and non-tariff barriers in the last decade in line with the commitments of WTO Members. Anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard measures, three pillars of trade defence instruments (TDIs), are considered as an effective means of protectionism for countries to reversely impose tariff barriers against their trading partners for the benefit of domestic industries. WTO accession and regional economic integration presented Vietnam with considerable potential and opportunities to expand and to intensify its trade relations with the world. At the same time, growing trade may also bring many challenges, including issues related to unfair trade practices and fierce competition to domestic industries from imported products. Therefore, it is necessary for Vietnam to make effective use of TDIs for the legitimate benefits of domestic industries. Against this backdrop, although Vietnam's legislation on anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures had been sufficiently promulgated since 2004, there has been only one case on safeguard measure ending up with nonaffirmative result. The article aims at providing the general overview of the TDIs system in Vietnam and the application of the Vietnamese regulation on TDIs to explore the reasons for the inactiveness of TDIs in Vietnam before coming up with the recommendations for the better use of TDIs in the future.

Abstract:

The aim of this document is to outline the historical development, roles and responsibilities of the European Defence Agency (EDA), decision-making procedures and discuss its activities that could support the Lithuanian defence industry. The findings show that the Agency continues to play an important role in coordinating participating member states (pMS) and their defence industries, enabling projects, suggesting prioritization tools, and fostering initiatives that seek greater strategic autonomy of the EU. The successful accomplishments of EDA initiatives depend on the ‘national appetite’ of pMS. The results of the research suggest a limited Lithuanian interest in the various EU programs, supervised by the EDA, that could boost the developments of the indigenous defence industry and research related to defence.

Abstract:

Abstract. This essay takes President John F. Kennedy’s visionary ‘Declaration of Interdependence’ of 1962, in which he called for a concrete transatlantic partnership on equal footing as the benchmark to assess today’s relationship between the USA and the European Union in defence matters. The central question is: can the European Union with its emerging security and defence policy be seen as one of the two supporting pillars of NATO next to the USA? To this end, the general security strategies, the institutional frameworks and capabilities, as well as the defence industries of both sides are compared. The result is that, although the strategies and initiatives taken by the EU point towards a more equitable partnership, the current state of capabilities and defence industries make it impossible to conclude that NATO rests on two equal pillars. Nevertheless, in view of the history of European integration and in anticipation of the fresh impetus to be given by the Obama administration, the author closes by suggesting a less static image of the transatlantic partnership, namely that of an ever-changing, yet ever-closer partnership.

Abstract:

Purpose: of this paper is to cover the main domains of industrial engineering based on the statistical and non-statistical techniques related to quality engineering. In this research, in addition to the review of the main domains of industrial engineering and the required specifications of technique, have been tried to present an integrated model of application of these techniques in order to create or increase the total score of productivity and sustainability in related scale with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. Design/methodology/approach: of this paper has been divided in two categories. The method of theoretical research consists of data collection tools, reference books, and several articles of the Iranian Center for Defences Standard. The method of practical research is the assessment of selected statistical and non-statistical techniques related to quality engineering, which have been deployed in the main domains of industrial engineering related to the manufacturing factories that are belonged to the selected industries of the Defence Industries Organization (DIO). Findings: of this paper consist of four main results. The maximum impact of standard statistical techniques in order to cover the main domains of industrial engineering and the required specifications of technique is related to the Statistical Process Control (SPC). Furthermore, the maximum impact of non-statistical techniques in order to cover them, is related to the Quality Function Deployment (QFD). The other results, which can be assessed with details, have shown that the maximum importance of the main domains of industrial engineering is related to the planning and manufacturing control and the maximum importance of the required specifications of technique is related to the mathematical analysis too. The total score of productivity and sustainability in related scale has been achieved to the upper than moderate level. In this research, the identification and determination of important factors, which have influenced on the productivity and sustainability have been done for the first time. The percentage of impact of the quality engineering techniques for both productivity and sustainability in the industrial engineering field is approximate to 70%. Research limitations/implications: of this paper suggest that the application of quality engineering tools including statistical and non-statistical techniques can be generalized to the other engineering or management fields with the same Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) or Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach in phase environments. Originality/value: of this paper have been extracted from the managers and experts involved with qualitative issues in the different levels of the Defence Industries Organization (DIO) and the Maham Group. This values are assessed from two aspects. Firstly, the validity of this research was carried out using expert’s opinions (Industrial advisers, Lead auditors of the Iranian center for Defences Standard and university professors). Secondly, all values of the research reliability are acceptable.

Abstract:

European defence and security interests are at risk if undertakings and governments from other than EU countries can easily gain control of European defence and security equipment and technology. The authors therefore plead for the adoption of European rules designed to monitor foreign investments in the defence and security sectors. At this stage, such investments undergo no screening at all at EU level. National schemes exist in some Member States but can in an internal market easily be circumvented. Common rules designed to review the acquisition of substantial participations in European defence and security operators would considerably increase the autonomy, the security and the efficiency of the defence of the European Union and its Member States, particularly if implemented at EU level. Moreover they would form a corollary to the establishment of an internal defence market while at the same time supporting the reciprocity of the access of European industries to third country markets.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design a framework for assessing supplier sustainability (in terms of survivability) within the defence industry based on financial and operational dimensions. Design/methodology/approach – The research employs a case study approach to identify a research gap in the area of supplier performance measurement and proposes five dimensions to assess supplier sustainability from the review of literature and industry practice while employing a systematic approach to generate measures for each dimension with suggested actions to improve sustainability. Findings – The sustainability measures, dimensions and improvement actions developed were validated with industrial experts from three defence companies and implemented as a sustainability system. A case study was applied and the results were generated. Research limitations/implications – Future research could include further case study application and application of dimensions and measures to other industries. Practical implications – The paper offers managerial implications about the need to consider the survivability of suppliers in the long term, especially in the current economic climate and think about mitigation strategies to enable economic sustainability. Originality/value – This paper adds to the existing knowledge in the supply chain area and proposes a novel approach to supplier performance measurement and management which is holistic.

Abstract:

When launching the Zrínyi 2026 program, the Hungarian Government set the goal of taking into consideration the opportunities for the development of the Hungarian defence industry with regards to procurements, and in connection with this, the Irinyi plan defined the defence industry as one of the national strategic industries. This, of course, requires domestic products, such as the Komondor light armoured vehicle family developed in Hungary. The study depicts the main vehicle and model variants through the development process.

Abstract:

With rapid advancements in technology radically impacting and changing current ways of working globally, many industries and sectors, including the Defence force, are implementing new approaches to respond to and address these challenges. Design thinking is one approach to assist in this response, as it provides a novel process for solving complex problems. This article presents a specific design approach for addressing contextual Defence problems in the form of a design thinking framework based on a review of the existing literature concerning design and Defence. The article contends with the role of design as a value-added methodology in Defence strategy and development, and it reports on a unique set of design thinking capabilities for a Defence-specific context that are not only essential for the implementation of a design-led approach to innovation but are of great assistance in overcoming its associated challenges. The Defence by Design framework works with an identified military objective that, when applied, overcomes the natural bias that Defence personnel may exhibit during routine gaps and opportunities analysis. By detailing the different stages of the framework, and demonstrating their iterative nature, through the documentation of a working example ‐ ‘Man Overboard’ ‐ this article presents a new approach yet to be realized in Defence globally.

Abstract:

Interviews undertaken in the House of Commons with 70 backbench Conservative MPs in 1983–84 examined the extent to which they pursue their own localized industrial policy strategies as part of their efforts to maintain constituency electoral support. This involves lobbying efforts directed toward ministers in support of local industries, either in defence of jobs, in promotion of new jobs, or in a variety of quests for government benefits or relaxation of restrictions. It was found that 36 of the 70 Conservative MPs could be classified as ‘constituency lobbyists’, reflecting interview evidence that they consider lobbying on behalf of local industries to be a normal and important part of their representative rôle as MPs. The hypothesis that vulnerable constituencies—vulnerable in both political and economic terms—would be represented by constituency lobbyists was tested through the construction of an index of constituency ‘security’. It was found that the more secure the constituency, the less likely is the MP to lobby on behalf of local industrial interests.

Abstract:

EU institutions often use trade defence measures to shield EU industries from competition. These measures come at the expense of importers and foreign exporting producers. The most feasible avenue for importers and exporting producers to obtain a practicable remedy is by challenging an adverse trade defence measure before the EU Courts. However, the EU Courts have adopted a strict approach to challenges to trade defence measures, which increasingly requires sophisticated litigation strategies to overcome multiple hurdles. First, the standing requirements to have a case admitted are stringent. Second, the burden to prove substantive or procedural errors in trade defence proceedings is high. Third, even if a case is successful, the EU Courts recognize that the EU institutions almost unbridled discretion in implementing judgments. These hurdles to litigating trade defence measures risk curtailing the role of the EU Courts in limiting the Commission’s powers in a way that maintains proper checks and balances. They also put on applicants the task to develop tools and arguments to address and overcome these hurdles.

Abstract:

DRDO is India’s major credible research and development organization that enables self-reliance and indigenisation of defence technologies and weapon systems to empower India in the emerging geo-political balance. The Organisation has its genesis in a technical inspection agency which over the years have transformed into a highly professional R&D organization with strong design and technology capabilities and skilled entrepreneurship to undertake development of state-of-the-art defence systems. DRDO driven R&D efforts have catalysed the growth of domestic defence and civilian industries in the country as well. The overarching endeavours of DRDO encompassing academia, private industry and Defence PSUs have helped in establishing a self-reliant defence industrial eco-system and collectively all have contributed in the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of “skill development” and “Make-in-India”. Yet, DRDO’s struggle at the national level continues since Armed Forces continue to depend on imports for major acquisitions. Indigenous options have not always established themselves as the preferred options even when they are available. The acceptability of DRDO developed products remains at a low ebb. The question is what more DRDO should do to ensure the acceptability of the users? This study examines the evolution of the DRDO and whether over the years DRDO has done enough or should do more to increase its visibility, acceptability, credibility and respectability? And how DRDO should reposition itself beyond MoD/Armed Forces in the national and international context to fulfill the ambitions of the country to play global roles? This paper also discusses how building the brand “DRDO” may possibly help DRDO.
