What is S&D R&D Policy and
Politics
• Security and Defence R&D Policy is course of
action or prospective program, including goals,
and way of their achievement
• Policy is a product of two basic politics –
Security and Defence Politics (S&D) and R&D
Politics. It is a result of intersection of their basic
political courses.
• R&D Politics – is a policymaking process, which
is closely related to the R&T and Economic and
Industrial Policy
• S&D R&D Policy and Politics are product of
national intellect and culture, which are too rigid
Starting Point and Current status
• Inherited State Centralized R&D Management
• Underdevelopment and Limited Government R&D
Expenditures - 0.51% GDP (Two times decrease in
1998)
• Low Innovative Private Defence Companies without
government orders, and 7-8 times output decrease
• State Production and Export Control
• Decrease in R&T, financed by companies
• Limited R&D capabilities in Academy and Universities,
financed by Government;
• Product and Technology Gap and Decrease
• Isolation from Leading R&D and R&T Centers
Split of Problems
• Not Clear Government R&D and R&T Policy,
and Strategy (Goals and Priorities)
• Not Initiated Government and S&D Sector
Programs
• Lack of Corporate Strategic Vision, R&D Budget
and Limited Private Resources
• Social Constraints for Increase of Resources
• Lack of Innovative Companies
• Limited R&D University Capabilities
• Low salaries, Brain Drain and Shortage of
Researchers and Infrastructure
• Not Efficient Measurement of R&D and R&T
Output
Causes
• Limited not Attractive R&D and R&T Market
• Not Declared Government and Private Companies S&D
R&D Policy
• Not Efficient Strategy and Priorities, and not Controlled
Results
• Without Coherent Defence Industry Development
Process and Structure Options
• Not Professional R&D and R&T Management
• Without Implementation of a Strategic Capability
Planning Process (SCP) and no Mechanism, through
which all R&D are coherent to Capability Development
and Security and Defence Sector Transformation
Opportunity frame
• NATO Science for Peace Program and Concept
Development and Experimentation (CDE) NATO
Process and Program
• European Charter for Researchers and a Code of
Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers
• EU R&D (with Security Division) Program, Framework
for a European Defence R&T Strategy and European
Security Research and Innovation Forum (ESRIF)
• Bilateral Programs in EU Research Space
• Existing Minimal Basic Capabilities and Administration
(National Funds) and Tendency for Slow Increase
(Scientific Research Fund have increased from 7.5 mil
(2007) to 30 mil (2008), and shifting of Doctoral students
salaries from 125 to 225 euro)
• National Offset Programs and R&D Support
• NGO R&D Funds and Programs
Thesis
• The R&D Expenditures are not a Budget Burden, but
Productive and Security Factor
• The Key Principle of New R&D Policy has to be its
consistency to the Security and Defence Sector
Transformation and Capability Planning Process
• The R&T Policy has to fallow Government R&D Policy
and Market Tendencies
• The National Security Strategy has to Declare Strategic
Goals, Basic R&D Programs, and their Result
Indicators
• Coordinative Body is needed for Prioritization of R&D
and R&T activities
• Export Orientation and Narrow Specialization for not
Article 5 Operations
• Internationalization, Co-operation, and PPP with R&D
participation
• Academia and University Involvement
Package of Programs
• Basic Security and Defence R&D Program
• Human Rights and Legislation
Subprogram
• Judiciary Subprogram
• Defence R&D Subprogram
• Internal Security Subprogram
• Intelligence Services Subprogram
• Emergency R&D Subprogram
Policy Goals and Objectives,
Indicators and Effects
• Joining to European Knowledge Economy, and
Research Space
• New National S&D R&D Legislation, and Deregulation of
Scientific Degrees and Ranks
• Narrow Specialization in the Areas with Relative
Productive Advantages
• Binding the Policy to the Strategic Capability Planning
Process (SCPP)
• Implementation of SCPP and Capability Indicators for
not Article 5 Operations
• Balances Scored Cards for Strategic Control
• Increase of Gov and Private Resources
S&D R&D Policy Incremental
Improvements
• Legislative Development and R&D Strategy
• Active Internationalization
• Diversification of the “Funders” to Public and Private
Research Institutions
• Company Engagement to 2% from GDP for R&D
• Productive Capability Analysis and Technological
Transfers Incentives
• Academia and University Involvement
• High Tech Free of Profit Taxation
• Brain Gain and Yang Researcher Attraction and
Recruitment
• Scientific Network Development
• R&D Management Concept and Model
• R&D Scientific Network and Information Base
Resources
• Increasing the Government R&D to 1.00% from
GDP (2010)
• Government Security and Defence R&D – 0.2%
GDP
• Increase Private R&T to 2% from GDP (?)
• Increase of Defence Industry R&T to 5% from
Output
• Development of the Security Focused Education
into Civil Universities
• Double Number of S&D Yang Scientist, with
Triple Salaries, and Quadruple Results
