Defence Acquisitions, Time Overruns, Costs and Military Preparedness

The basic is that a nation undertakes burden of defence acquisitions to maintain edge of its military. Within this overall objective our procedures must flow however multi-faceted or complex these may be. Our 'thinking executives' which includes our bureaucracy , military and process experts, must keep this in view in all their activities.

Shifting causes of delay / failures within any complex acquisition chain is inevitable and may even be 'past time' of some. The bottom line is, Is nation's military getting it wherewithal in time? If not, we need to worry. As is often said 'radical problems need radical solutions'. Lip service or minor changes to existing procedures and practices will not suffice. Let there be an overhaul of the Process.

An Article by Mr Harinder Singh, IDSA, and the recent Seminar by the IDSA on Defence Acquisitions is timely. Click to read the full Article:
