Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

  • Seeking Autonomy: Comparative Analysis of the Japanese & South
    Seeking Autonomy: Comparative Analysis of the Japanese & South Korean Defense Sectors Master’s Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Adam Gerval, B.A. Interdisciplinary East Asian Studies MA Program The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Philip Brown, Advisor Hajime Miyazaki Youngbae Hwang Copyright by Adam Gerval 2016 Abstract The development of defense technologies has blended economic and national security policies in the postwar era. Many countries have invested heavily in defense industries as a means to stimulate economic gain and technological innovation. However, vibrant defense industries are rarely developed through autonomous production alone. They tread a slow path that often follows shortly behind economic and industrial development, and signals rising players in the international community. However, these developments are often nurtured and influenced by key allies that illuminate both partner’s international and domestic objectives. In this paper I seek to compare the overall historical development of the Japanese and South Korean defense sectors in the post-World War II era. In doing so, I will reveal their technological capabilities, methods for infusing technology into each nation’s defense sector, and finally how these transfers provided the technological foundation for developing defensive autonomy. My findings lead me to argue that the postwar development of both sectors has been path dependent upon the evolution of their diplomatic relationships with the United States. This path has been instrumental in both nations’ economic and technological ascent, but has also been determinant of their abilities and limitations to achieve capability in specific defense technologies.

  • The Plan in Maturity 279 RCAF. a Fabric-Covered Biplane, with Two
    The Plan in Maturity 279 RCAF. A fabric-covered biplane, with two open cockpits in tandem, it was powered by a radial air-cooled engine and had a maximum speed of I I 3 mph. He found it 'a nice, kind, little aeroplane,' though the primitive Gosport equipment used to give dual instruction in the air was 'an absolutely terrible system. It was practically a tube, a flexible tube' through which the instructor talked 'into your ears . like listening at the end of a hose. ' MacKenzie went solo after ten hours. His first solo landing was complicated. As he approached, other aircraft were taking off in front of him, forcing him to go around three times. 'I'll never get this thing on the ground, ' he thought. His feelings changed once he was down. 'It was fantastic. Full of elation.' Although they were given specific manoeuvres to fly while in the air, '99% of us went up and did aerobatics . .. instead of practising the set sequences. ' Low flying was especially exciting, 'down, kicking the tree tops, flying around just like a high speed car. ' The only disconcerting part of the course was watching a fellow pupil 'wash out. ' 'You would come back in the barracks and see some kid packing his bags, ' he remembered. 'There were no farewell parties. You packed your bags and . snuck off . It was a slight and very sad affair. ' Elementary training was followed by service instruction as either a single- or dual-engine pilot. There was no 'special fighter pilot clique' among the pupils, but MacKenzie had always wanted to fly fighters and asked for single-engine training.

  • Multiplying the Sources LICENSED and UNLICENSED MILITARY PRODUCTION
    Small Arms Survey 2007: Chapter 1 Summary Multiplying the Sources LICENSED AND UNLICENSED MILITARY PRODUCTION For the victims of armed violence, it does not really matter who produced the gun that causes their injury or death. Yet, for those seeking to prevent such violence, the producer is extremely important. New information presented in this chapter indicates that anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent of all military rifles, assault rifles, and carbines—the weapons most frequently used in modern armed conflict—are manufactured by producers that acquired the necessary technology from others. Licensed production occurs in virtually all areas of the modern economy. The motives behind it are numerous, ranging from the anticipated increase of market share and returns on investment in research and development on the part of the licensor com- pany, to the wish to develop domestic industry and decrease import dependence on the part of the licensee country. Licensed production agreements can involve many different juridical and organizational arrangements. In some cases manufacturing tech- nology is acquired without the knowledge of its original owner, i.e. production takes place without a licence. Bangladesh and Pakistan, for example, produce weapons under a licence from China, which had previously copied the product without licence from the former Soviet Union (USSR). Production know-how, once transferred, cannot be retrieved. Both licensed and unlicensed production involves the acquisition of production technology by a manufacturer that did not previously possess it. While this need not lead to an overall increase in the number of weapons produced, it does involve the dissemination of weapons production know-how to a greater number of actors.

  • Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume I: China, India, Israel
    6. South Korea Jong Chul Choi* I. Introduction An examination of the arms procurement decision-making process of South Korea (the Republic of Korea) reveals certain idiosyncratic features stemming from the national and international security environments and from the institu- tional process within the Ministry of National Defense (MND). Since the 1950 Korean War the security environment of South Korea has been characterized by the long-standing threat posed by North Korea (the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea). US military policy towards South Korea—based on a military alliance relationship—and US arms transfer policy have been among the most salient factors influencing the arms procurement process. The domestic political system in operation since the 1970s—charac- terized by a strong presidency and an authoritarian tradition—has made the process less transparent and accountable to the public. A key feature is the concentration of arms procurement decision-making authority in the MND and the President. Throughout the process the MND dominates other government agencies and institutions and even the National Assembly. It has the task of concluding the process and it receives interim reports at nearly every stage. The President has the final say regarding procurement programmes with budgets exceeding 5 billion won ($5.25 mil- lion).1 1 At the 1997 average exchange rate of 951 won = $1. International Financial Statistics, Mar. 1998. * The author wishes to thank J. Y. Ra, formerly Professor of Political Science, Kyung Hee Uni- versity, and currently Vice-Director of the Agency for National Security Planning, for super- vising the study in the ROK.

Scholars have seen HAL’s beginnings primarily as an instance of colonial imperatives subugating indigenous enterprise (the company was promoted by industrialist Walchand Hirachand and later taken over by the colonial government). This paper, on the other hand, emphasises the multiplicity of actors and the broader, often extra-imperial networks that played a role in HAL’s development. The plant in Bangalore was commissioned by a team of American engineers under W.D. Pawley, who would arrange for manufacturing licences, machinery and materials through his American company, Intercontinent Corporation. These American experts supervised a team of Indian engineers and technicians; the factory was run by the US Army during the latter years of World War II. Other crucial actors were the princely government of Mysore, which provided land and concessions for the factory; German and Germany-trained experts who worked in HAL’s design teams in the post-Independence period; and the Indian Institute of Science, which provided HAL with trained personnel and research facilities.
