Book Synopsis Defense Conversion by : Jacques S. Gansler
Download or read book Defense Conversion written by Jacques S. Gansler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996-07-25 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacques Gansler takes a hard look at the need to convert the industry from an inefficient and noncompetitive part of the U.S. economy to an integrated, civilian/military operation. Author of two widely-read books on the defense industry, Jacques Gansler takes a hard look at the need to convert the industry from an inefficient and noncompetitive part of the U.S. economy to an integrated, civilian/military operation. He defines the challenges, especially the influence of old-line defense interests, and presents examples of restructuring. Gansler discusses growing foreign involvement, lessons of prior industrial conversions, the best structure for the next century, current barriers to integration, a three-part transformation strategy, the role of technological leadership, and the critical workforce. He concludes by outlining sixteen specific actions for achieving civil/military integration. In Gansler's view, the end of the Cold War with the former Soviet Union represents a permanent downturn rather than a cyclical decline in the defense budget. He argues that this critical transition period requires a restructuring of the defense acquisitions process to achieve a balance between economic concerns and national security, while maintaining a force size and equipment modernization capable of deterring future conflicts. Gansler argues that for the defense industry to survive and thrive, the government must make its acquisitions process more flexible, specifically by lowering barriers to integration. This includes, among other things, rethinking the production specifications for new equipment and changing bids for contracts from a cost basis to a price basis. Gansler point out that by making primarily political and procedural changes (rather than legislative ones), companies will be able to produce technology for both civilian and military markets, instead of exclusively for one or the other as has been the norm. This dual-use approach would save the government billions of dollars annually and would enable the military to diversify by utilizing state-of-the-art.
Book Synopsis After the Cold War by : Michael P. Claudon
Download or read book After the Cold War written by Michael P. Claudon and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1988, President Gorbachev announced at the United Nations that the Soviet Union would unilaterally cut 500,000 troops from its military forces and begin conversion of its military-industrial complex, which dominates its economy. Since that formal declaration four years ago, the breakup of the East Bloc and the Soviet Union has dramatically changed and improved East-West relations. But the initial optimism at the "end" of the Cold War has now been replaced with the realization that building new economic, political, and military relationships will test the good will, patience, and creativity of both sides. Nowhere are the issues thornier and the potential rewards greater than in defense conversion in Russia. The pervasiveness of their military-industrial complex dwarfs that of the United States: one of five workers is employed by the defense industry; defense enterprises are the sole employers in half their communities; many consumer goods are produced only by defense industries; 80 percent of all research and development was devoted to defense; arms sales in the 1980s mainly to Third World countries were Russia's largest source of hard currency. In short, defense budgets have bankrupted Russia and distorted investment and production for decades. Russia's fledgling free-market economic reforms cannot succeed without the conversion and privatization of much of this military-industrial complex. But to date, there has been little progress, and Russia's conversion programs are long on intent and short on specifics. After the Cold War - Russian-American Defense Conversion for Economic Renewal contains papers presented at the Geonomics Institute fall 1992 seminar on defense conversion and examines some of the questions and policy choices that both countries face in defense conversion and economic restructuring. Where, for example, will a destitute Russian government find the billions of dollars that conversion will require? A smaller, stable military-industrial complex and a vibrant market economy that provides new jobs producing consumer goods is clearly in the interest of the West. How, for example, can Western public and private institutions best assist Russia in creating a legal and business infrastructure conducive to the development of a market economy and foreign investment? In adopting the Bread Loaf Charter, seminar participants proposed a series of recommendations to promote U.S.-Russian cooperation and to accelerate conversion. After the Cold War makes clear that defense conversion in Russia will require strong domestic leadership but also cooperation, technical help, and especially leadership from the United States.
Book Synopsis Perestroika and Change in Soviet Weapons Acquisition by : Arthur J. Alexander
Download or read book Perestroika and Change in Soviet Weapons Acquisition written by Arthur J. Alexander and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on two major issues--the "conversion" of defense industry resources to civilian uses and the influence of contemporary weapons technology and complexity on the Soviet Union's ability to meet military requirements--this report identifies and explains the major elements of continuity and change in Soviet military organization, concepts, and goals since the emergence of Mikhail Gorbachev and his "new political thinking." Soviet military research and development and production evolved from the 1930s to the 1980s in a manner that was consistent with the political-military doctrine and economic base that supported it. Now, with the dramatic changes in Soviet political choices, doctrine, economics, and technology, the Soviet Union's defense production complex is engaged in adapting to a conversion to civilian production as it tries to meet military demands for higher performance, increased reliability, lower costs, and the application of new technologies. Analysts must now shift from dealing with established and familiar elements to grappling with the uncertainties of evolving Soviet politics and policies.

Download or read book Military R&D after the Cold War written by Philip Gummett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries establish defence industries for various reasons. Chief among these are usually a concern with national security, and a desire to be as independent as possible in the supply of the armaments which they believe they need. But defence industries are different from most other industries. Their customer is governments. Their product is intended to safeguard the most vital interests of the state. The effectiveness of these products (in the real, rather than the experimental sense) is not normally tested at the time of purchase. If, or when, it is tested, many other factors (such as the quality of political and military leadership) enter into the equation, so complicating judgments about the quality of the armaments, and about the reliability of the promises made by the manufacturers. All of these features make the defence sector an unusually political industrial sector. This has been true in both the command economies of the former Soviet Union and its satellites, and in the market or mixed economies of the west. In both cases, to speak only a little over-generally, the defence sector has been particularly privileged and particularly protected from the usual economic vicissitudes. In both cases, too, its centrality to the perceived vital interests of the state has given it an unusual degree of political access and support.

This report assesses: the effect of defense conversion efforts on the elimination or reduction of military activities and production capabilities in former Soviet weapons of mass destruction enterprises; the status of defense conversion projects and funding; and conformance of the DEFs management practices to its grant agreement and the Fund's operating expenses. Includes update to Sep. Ô97.
