Examining India’s defence innovation performance / Behera, Laxman Kumar

Behera, Laxman Kumar	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

India has expended a great deal of energy and resources to set up a vast defence economy to innovate state-of-the-art weapon systems. However, the performance of the defence economy has been largely suboptimal. An examination of the causes of poor performance exhibits a number of shortcomings related to India’s both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ innovation capacities. Lack of strong support from higher political leadership, meager research and development (R&D) and procurement budgets, inefficiency of the main R&D and manufacturing players, poor management of human resources and a weak acquisition system, among others, leave India’s defence innovation in a poor state.

Summary/Abstract

Way back in 1959, RAND Corporation, a think tank in the US listed four parameters for judging the success of military acquisition programmes. The four parameters are: System Performance (all the qualities that contribute to the effectiveness of a military system within its intended domain); Utility (the broader military value of the weapon system over and above whether it meets its specific performance goals); Time of Availability (initial operational availability) and Costs (development and production).
