| Summary/Abstract |
here are multiple claims about the potential of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled systems to boost or even transform defence capabilities. Trevor Taylor explores how the effective acquisition of such systems presents major challenges to governmental defence to act as an intelligent customer and to review the balance of capability generation responsibilities between government and private sector bodies. He also shows that the first step is to recognise how AI procurement does not fit in easily with established procurement elements, including requirements specification, competitive modes of procurement, speed of decision-making and test and acceptance arrangements.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recent decisions regarding UK defence acquisition have attracted vocal criticism from many sides. Trevor Taylor reviews changes and progress made in recent years, and concludes that, while the complexities of the beast will never allow for perfection, the current system of defence acquisition can offer a good basis for improvement.

| Summary/Abstract |
The UK has long viewed itself as a core player on the international stage, whilst maintaining some degree of autonomy from both Europe and the US. But plummeting budgets and shifting public opinion may mean that the forthcoming Strategic Defence Review is the beginning of a more co-operative and limited defence posture.

| Summary/Abstract |
Political and media attention in the UK is devoted to three interrelated aspects of defence: policy, the management of defence resources and military operations. This article argues that the 1998 Strategic Defence Review placed excessive reliance on anticipated improvements in the management of defence resources to render Labour's defence policies affordable. The field of attempted defence management improvements is surveyed and it is concluded that no final answers were generated on the key issues of the division of tasks among uniformed personnel, civil servants and the private sector, or on whether defence should be run largely on a capability basis or on single service lines. Given the demonstrated similarity between the government's concepts of the UK's role in the world in the Strategic Defence Review (1998) and the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) (2010), there is a clear danger that the SDSR also relies too much on efficiency savings. By reference to the inherent complications of defence management and to three strands of management thought (complexity management, wicked problems and principal-agent theory), the article argues that some inefficiency will always be present. It suggests that the Clausewitzian concept of friction, accepted as pertinent to the area of military operations, might also be applied to efforts to generate military capability. It concludes that defence reviews should not be based on assumptions about efficiency savings and that students of international security and defence need to pay attention to both the volume of resources going into defence and the mechanisms by which they are managed.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recent global trends have brought questions of intellectual property (IP) theft to the fore. The fear is that stolen IP, whether gained through hacking, human intelligence or legal means, could threaten the technological edge of Western militaries. There are many nuanced attack vectors. Rebecca Lucas and Trevor Taylor argue that Western governments will have to adopt a whole-of-government approach, as well as collaborating with allies and partners, to effectively address this challenge.

| Summary/Abstract |
The trend of ever-decreasing national defence budgets poses many worrying questions for companies in the global defence industry and may soon require them to make significant decisions about their respective future strategies. In this article, Henrik Heidenkamp, John Louth and Trevor Taylor explore the various strategic options available to defence companies in the UK and abroad, and consider the centrality of governments in ensuring the long-term sustainability of what is deemed to be an industry crucial to national security.

| Summary/Abstract |
The US third offset strategy (3OS) may transform the way in which Western powers generate future battle-winning capabilities and the technologies that enable and sustain them. In this article, John Louth and Trevor Taylor explore the nature of the 3OS, the strategic thinking that is driving it forward and the ambitions it seeks to satisfy. They discuss the key technologies within the strategy and explore the impact that their emergence will have on allies of the US. They conclude by discussing the opportunities and challenges presented to decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic.
