Shaping the 2010 Strategic Defence & Security Review : An Exercise in Squaring Conflicting Priorities by Jean-Claude Sergeant

“…Part of this deficit originates in the programme delaying strategy resorted to by the MoD to ease financial pressure. But the main causes of this black hole are to be found in a combination of factors : the competition between the three Services for securing state-of-the-art equipment, often as a result of the required level of interoperability with American Forces ; the fact that this overspecification trend has been tacitly encouraged by the incapacity or unwillingness of the MoD to scrap an arms project once the main financial gate has been cleared irrespective of its wayward development ; the “cosy relationship” between major defence industrialists, MoD procurement officials and MPs, which often affects the way major contracts are awarded. …”
