Ten chronic challenges in UK defence acquisition / Hambleton, Ken; Holder, Ian; Kirkpatrick, David   Journal Article
Kirkpatrick, David Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract This paper describes ten recurring problems which afflict the Ministry of Defence's acquisition of complex defence equipment. These problems are manifest in the notorious cost overruns and delays which beset such projects. Some of the problems arise because the projects are large and complex, and perforce must incorporate leading-edge technologies, and because of the diverse cultures of the personnel needed to manage the acquisition process. Others arise from the special (and widely misunderstood) characteristics of defence acquisition, and from the multiple interfaces between the operating services and industrial suppliers in the UK and in other nations. Since diagnosis is useful only if it is accompanied by relevant treatment, the authors propose appropriate remedial action for each of the ten problems they have identified

UK’s defence industrial strategy / Kirkpatrick, David   Journal Article
Kirkpatrick, David Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Any national government's policy on defence equipment acquisition must reflect development in the nation's military, technological and industrial environment. Recent changes to the external threats to the national security and vital interests of the United Kingdom (UK) and its allies, and the ongoing consolidation of the global defence industry, have required the UK's Ministry of Defence (MOD) to adopt a new defence industrial strategy. This new strategy involves long-term partnerships with selected onshore contractors to sustain within these contractors a chosen subset of the UK's traditional capabilities for the development, manufacture, support andupgrade of defence equipment. But this new strategy must overcome several challenges before it can be implemented effectively.
