Industry Participation in Defence Research and Development,
Abstract:
Development of industrial capability to meet defence requirements demands co-operation from industry, the military and government and the opportunity to submit a report on a perceived governmentindustry interface problem is welcome. Syndicate members were chosen from diverse backgrounds. The experience involved with such courses is wide-ranging and the syndicate considers that appropriately channelled, considered opinions may be of assistance to such bodies as the Defence Industry Council DIC in developing and consolidating long term plans and may also be of interest to the defence community involved in logistics planning and management. This paper will record observations and opinions and offer some recommendations for further deliberation on the interface between defence and industry.
