Summary/Abstract |
The IAF brass have serious concerns about the fifth generation fighter, a plane the air force desperately wants because they are running short of aircraft (34 Squadrons at the last count). The concern s centre on the manner in which the project is being pursued. Senior serving and retired officers acknowledge the preliminary design has been completed to their satisfaction and the contract negotiations on R&D are progressing. But that's where it ends.

Summary/Abstract |
Defence budget accounts for a significant proportion of the central government expenditure. For the current year, the revenue and capital budgets of defence account for more than 20 to 80 per cent of the entire non-plan revenue and capital budget respectively of the central government.

Summary/Abstract |
In the third of his articles on the finances of defence, the author examines the controversial subject of defence inflation, and the apparently increased cost of replacing equipment with a new generation. In analysing the figures more deeply than is customary against a rather broader context he arrives at some surprising and even perhaps encouraging conclusions.

Summary/Abstract |
Truly amphibious vehicles are hybrids, and by nature complicated. Consequently, their designs always involve more than the usual amount of compromise compounded by more than the usual amount of risk to schedules, budgets and ultimate operational capability. And web-footed forces that must manoeuvre from the sea - the USMC being the supreme example - are exposed more than most.

Summary/Abstract |
There is a large literature on the relationship between economic growth and defense spending, but its findings are often contradictory and inconclusive. These results may be partly due to non-linear growth effects of military expenditure and incorrect model specifications. The literature also appears lacking an empirical analysis of interaction between military spending and the arms trade and the impact of these two on growth. This paper investigates this non-linear interaction in the context of the Solow and Barro growth models recommended by Dunne et al.1 (2005). Using fixed effects, random effects, and Arellano-Bond GMM estimators, I examine the growth effects of military expenditure, arms trade, and their interaction in a balanced panel of 28 countries during 1965-2000. The augmented Solow growth model specified in Dunne et al. (2005) yields more robust estimates than the reformulated Barro model. I find that higher military spending and net arms exports separately lead to lower economic growth, but higher military spending is less detrimental to growth when a country is a net arms exporter.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper traces the evolution of the concept of outcome budget; examines the linkage between defence budgeting and defence planning in Indian context and the issues/concerns arising out of the present system before examining the scope of introducing outcome budget for defence and security apparatus in India.

Summary/Abstract |
The article highlights the applicability of benchmarking methodologies to the shipbuilding industry, and how these could be utilized to improve the competitiveness of shipyards to enable delivery of cost-effective naval ships. Cost continues to be a major factor that characterizes the competitiveness of shipbuilding, and is cited as the main reason for the industry having moved from Europe to Asia over the last two decades. The author examines in detail the benchmarking system most commonly used by USA, Europe, Japan, South Korea and the UK, and brings out the advantages accrued as a result of the implementation of the recommendations of focused studies. He then analyses the various issues that plague Indian shipyards, especially the Defence Public Sector Units (DPSUs), and posits how benchmarking studies similar to those undertaken by leading shipbuilding nations elsewhere could help improve the Indian naval shipbuilding industry.

Summary/Abstract |
An ever-growing share of defence R&D expenditures is being dedicated to the development and fielding of integrative technologies that enable separate individual systems to work in a coordinated and synergistic fashion as a single system. This study explores the optimal defence budget allocation to the development and acquisition of weapon systems and to the development of integrative technologies. We develop a suitable optimization framework, and then use it to derive the optimal budget allocation and analyse its properties. Finally, we use US defence budget data to calibrate the parameters of the model and provide a quantitative measure for the apparent US military supremacy.
