| Summary/Abstract |
Collaborative defence projects have been a distinctive feature of European defence industrial policy. This article focuses on whether the number of partner nations in international collaborative defence and aerospace programmes is a source of inefficiency. It appears that there is not a simple linear relationship. Two nation collaborations can be efficient, but conventional wisdom assumes that inefficiencies emerge with more than two partner nations. Inevitably, data problems made what appears to be a simple hypothesis difficult to test. The major result is that there is no evidence that efficiency as measured by development times is adversely affected by the number of partner nations. A limited sample regression and a comparison of Airbus vs. Boeing shows a similar conclusion.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Air Force (IAF) can now impart robust training to C-17 Globemaster III pilots and loadmasters in the country itself. With the opening of a training centre in Gurgaon on July 8, Boeing and Mahindra Defence Systems have made this possible. “We were not able to train enough pilots due to lack of training centres in India. We had to send pilots abroad for training”, said Air Marshal Dhanoa who inaugurated the training centre. Once fully operational, the new centre will be capable of conducting local and multi-site simulations for added realism and more robust training. The C-17 training facility, which is located at the Flight Simulation Technique Centre in Gurgaon, will be a full-service location offering instruction to aircrews that operate the 10 C-17 airlifters that Boeing delivered to India in 2014.

| Summary/Abstract |
Clearly the aerospace needs at India, civilian as well as defence, are growing. The public sector which has so tar been tasked to meet these needs has tailed to deliver. What's more, as aerospace production becomes more complex, the public sector is likely to tail even further behind in the race. Vested interests have long fostered the myth that private sector companies are less likely to uphold the national interest than the PSUS. The private aerospace industry has been kept in a stranglehold and not allowed to realise its potential. Isn't it strange that reputed firms like Tata, Birla and M&M have been given the cold shoulder because HAL is supposedly more trustworthy when it comes to cletence matters? Yet Boeing is a reliable partner in America's detence, Airbus in Europe's and Embraer in Brazil's. The government must realise that both public and private sectors are national assets; both are necessary to achieve self-reliance in the shortest possible time.

| Summary/Abstract |
Embraer has managed an outstanding development effort for its first ever tactical military transport, the KC-390. Embraer's efforts are in stark contrast to the Russo-Indian efforts to jointly develop a Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA) which seems to have stalled since the Preliminary Design Phase (PDP) Contract was signed in December 2012. The first flight of the MTA was to have taken place in 2016, a mere two years away now. The KC-390 on the other hand is expected to make its maiden flight this year.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 20 years since the end of the Cold War have seen a radical shift in the
nature of the defence industrial sector, with a rationalization of the number
of companies involved. While something similar happened in the civilian
aerospace market, which has become dominated by two giant rivals-the
United States-based Boeing Corporation and the European consortium of
Airbus-it occurred over a much shorter timescale. For example, in the US
defence market Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas in August 1997;
Lockheed and Martin Marietta merged in March 1995; while Northrop
Aircraft acquired Grumman Aerospace in April 1994.1
Today the defence
market is increasingly dominated by a smaller number of large multinational
companies that have global interests, such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, EADS, Thales, and
BAE Systems. In conjunction with this slow but steady rationalization, most
western countries since the end of the Cold War have sought some form
of "peace dividend" and diverted resources from defence to other areas of
public expenditure.2
For example, the United Kingdom's defence expenditure
dropped as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 4.6 percent
in 1987 to 2.56 percent in 2010. This drop mirrored much of what was
happening in the rest of NATO, with the average defence expenditure falling
from 1.93 percent in 2001 to 1.58 percent in 2010.3
