| Summary/Abstract |
That the Indian Army's artillery regiments are in desperate need of a makeover is well known. But the process of modernisation and upgrade has moved at a glacial pace. The only new weapon in sight is the M777 light howitzer which has been cleared for procurement from BAE Systems in the US. The DRDO has now stepped in, reviving an old artillery project that had been shut down some years ago owing to the Army's lack of interest in an indigenous project.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper analyses the main drivers of R&D investment in the Spanish defence sector at the firm level. In particular, we analyse the factors influencing the decision to innovate or not, and those that affect the relative amount of resources devoted to the innovative process. Using data from the Ministry of Defence and the balance sheets from over 650 companies from 2003 to 2008, a Heckman selection model is applied to account for the firm's decision to perform R&D investment (or not). Our estimation results show that for firms holding operations within the Spanish defence industry, both the long-term strategic decision on R&D engagement and the short-term decision of R&D investment were driven by the intensity of their participation in contracting with the Ministry of Defence; hence, the demand pull hypothesis is confirmed.

| Summary/Abstract |
Developments within the UK in the Ministry of Defence's policy on defence equipment acquisition demand changes in the scale and allocation of the Ministry's budget for defence research. To facilitate the national debate on those changes, this paper reviews the key questions about UK defence research which the Ministry must resolve in order to implement its new Defence Technology Strategy.

| Summary/Abstract |
India–Southeast Asia defence cooperation has not been highlighted much, primarily to not give out wrong signals about India’s power projection outlook. With India steadfastly maintaining that it is a benign nation and not a revisionist power, engagement in the defence domain with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been attempted in five ways. The first includes India’s engagement in ASEAN defence mechanisms, such as ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) Plus; and the participation of ASEAN nations in the Milan series of biennial meetings and Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS). The second dimension is India’s legitimate interest in the security of the Malacca Strait as a funnel state. The third dimension is developing synergies between the defence industries in Southeast Asia with the Indian defence industrial complex. The fourth angle of engagement is India’s position as the net security provider in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The fifth critical aspect is developing maritime cooperative mechanism and developing a counter to the Chinese “string of pearls” strategy.

| Summary/Abstract |
India has the potential to emerge as a gobal platform for defence research, maufacturing and supply chain sourcing. With ambitious acquisition plans for modernisation, India has a historic opportunity, as the Modi Government has launched the Make in India initiative. The defence sector is one of the 25 sector which can propel manufacturing to new heights. May proactive steps such as change in DPP, Licensing norms, FDI limit have been taken. However, this sector to take off needs adequate and quality talent. India needs about 200, 000 skilled people in the defence and aerospace industry in ten years. For the Aerospace and Defence Industry, which works at the cutting edge of technology, availability of technical talent is becoming an acute challenge. There are serious structural gaps in the demand and supply of talent in this sector.
