GUIDED WEAPONS Dr Gerrit Viljoen Denel Dynamics GUIDED WEAPONS Dr Gerrit Viljoen Denel Dynamics 1 OUTLINE Future Conflict Future Requirements Future Technological Concepts Conclusions DETERMINING FUTURE WEAPON CONCEPTS THE FUTURE CHARACTER OF CONFLICT – 5C’S THE FUTURE CHARACTER OF CONFLICT (cont.) The Operations Will Often Be Characterised By: • Rapid deployment over strategic distances • Deployment into areas with poor transport infrastructure • Deployment of relatively small forces in large theatres/areas or operations • Unexpected contacts outside planned fire support coverage • Contacts at close ranges • Engagements in and around built-up areas • Limited collateral casualties or damage. THE FUTURE CHARACTER OF CONFLICT – (cont.) The Nature Of Such Operations Will Require Fire Support That Is: • Prompt • Flexible • Sustained • Precise • Contained in its effects FUTURE REQUIREMENTS To See and Identify: • To do persistent surveillance over large areas of interest High Fidelity Layered Protection Against All Airborne Threats • From single vehicles to the whole of South Africa • Covers Active Protection to Counter-Air missions Precision Fire-power with tunable effects • To also operate in a civilian environment All of this require equipment that provides: • Affordable cost of ownership • Low logistic footprint • All weather, day/night 24/7 operations GUIDED WEAPON TECHNOLOGY TRENDS Guided weapons are becoming: • Smaller • More capable – Smarter – multi-role and – more accurate • Lower cost • Provides lower collateral damage FUTURE TECHNOLOGICAL CONCEPTS TO SEE: • Army UAV’s include – From small UAV’s such as Raven • 1.9kg • 10km range • 60-90 min endurance • Sight with TV camera or infrared night vision camera UAV’s • To Snyper armed UAV – 550kg – 250km range – 2 x Mokopa missiles – Sight with laser designation, high definition TV and IIR sensors for day/night capability FUTURE TECHNOLOGICAL CONCEPTS (cont.)

  • Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa
    Republic of South Africa Systematic Country Diagnostic Public Disclosure Authorized An Incomplete Transition: Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa Public Disclosure Authorized Background note Corporate Governance in South African State-Owned Enterprises Sunita Kikeri Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Corporate Governance in South African State-Owned Enterprises Sunita Kikeri1 Introduction State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an important role in the South African economy. Since 1994 SOEs have been a significant vehicle for achieving economic growth and poverty reduction. They are especially important vehicles for addressing market failure and for delivering key infrastructure services such as energy, transport, and water that allow the economy to grow while ensuring equity through access and quality of social services to all citizens. Strengthening their role and performance is a key component of the Developmental State agenda. This agenda addresses the key challenges facing South Africa: high poverty and unemployment levels; skewed distribution and maintenance of infrastructure; unequal distribution of land and capital; and growing disparities between the rich and poor. The Government’s New Growth Path (NGP), which sets a target of creating five million additional jobs by 2020, specifically calls on SOEs to play a key developmental role. Other policies such as the National Development Plan (NDP), the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), and the Industrial Policy Action Plan also highlight the role of SOEs as major contributors to infrastructure development and to economic restructuring, while the Nine-Point Plan, which outlines Government priorities, includes addressing the electricity challenge and supporting reforms in SOEs. Through these initiatives, the Government’s goal is to ensure that SOEs deliver on broader developmental goals and that they support the transformation and competitiveness of the economy.

    WRECKING BALL Why Permanent Technological Unemployment, a Predictable Pandemic and Other Wicked Problems Will End South Africa’s Experiment in Inclusive Democracy by Stu Woolman TERMS of USE This electronic version of the book is available exclusively on the NISC website for free download to use in research or private study. It may not be re-posted on book or other digital repositories that allow systematic sharing or download. For any commercial or other uses please contact the publishers, NISC (Pty) Ltd. Print copies of this book as well as e-Book versions available for online ordering from the African Books Collective and Amazon.com. © NISC (Pty) Ltd WRECKING BALL Why permanent technological unemployment, a predictable pandemic and other wicked problems will end South Africa’s experiment in inclusive democracy Wrecking Ball explores, in an unprecedented manner, a decalogue of wicked problems that confronts humanity: Nuclear proliferation, climate change, pandemics, permanent technological unemployment, Orwellian public and private surveillance, social media that distorts reality, cyberwarfare, the fragmentation of democracies, the inability of nations to cabin private power, the failure of multinational institutions to promote collaboration and the deepening of autocratic rule in countries that have never known anything but extractive institutions. Collectively, or even severally, these wicked problems constitute crises that could end civilisation. Does this list frighten you, or do you blithely assume that tomorrow will be just like yesterday? Wrecking Ball shows that without an inclusive system of global governance, the collective action required to solve those wicked problems falls beyond the remit of the world’s 20 inclusive democracies, 50 flawed democracies and 130 extractive, elitist autocracies.
