Research and Military-Industrial Complex

A Springboard for Capability Development

Abstract

Collaborative efforts are required to develop future technologies for securing a nation. To develop military technologies a nation is required to create a system where all stakeholders can jointly work together to find solutions for meeting national security challenges. It is a good idea to invest and incentivise the efforts of universities and industry to develop future defence technologies. The role of government research and development organisations is paramount to coordinate the research and development of usable technology for military services. The military-industrial complex can only become a springboard for capability development if there is a strong indigenous R&D.
