Strategic Competition and Defence Industry

We study supply chains, resilience, industrial capacity, technological advantage and the commitment of forces and means to advance strategic objectives.




Defence industrial production operates at the intersection of defence and the civilian economy, across global supply chains, and in collaboration and competition with friendly and hostile defence industrial bases.

The decisions that determine whether a military can carry out the tasks assigned to it by government often have long lead times. Balancing forces and means, and aligning policy ambition with military and industrial capacity, requires an accurate understanding of a range of changing factors.

The Military Sciences research group therefore analyses policymaking to assess whether there is alignment between ends, ways and means, and conducts detailed research into defence industrial processes.
