Summary/Abstract

This article gives an overview of the evolution of Quality Assurance (QA) in army procurements as also various shortcomings in the contemporary principles and practices that cause delays in procurements and their possible solutions. The list of shortcomings is not exhaustive; however, due care has been taken to bring out the most important ones which need immediate attention. The causal factors of these shortcomings have been analysed and recommendations to overcome them have also been listed to make the QA practice more efficient and minimize delays due to QA.

Summary/Abstract

For the second time in a row, Airbus’s A330 MRTT (multi role tanker transport) programme has been cancelled by the defence ministry. This latest decision comes at a time when the Indian Air Force (IAF) is urgently looking to induct more mid-air tankers that will enormously augment its aerial combat capabilities. The government had previously cancelled the A330 MRTT programme due to the high pricing, and reissued a tender in September 2010, which was again won by Airbus in January 2013.
