  • Small Arms and Armed Violence in Papua New Guinea
    Small Arms and Armed Violence in Papua New Guinea Developing a demand-reduction agenda By Bradley James Gibbons A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Relations 2013 i The Papua New Guinea government has adopted a range of measures aimed at reducing the supply of illicit small arms and light weapons in response to persistent problems with their use in inter-communal fighting and crime. However, these measures have been largely ineffective at reducing the level of armed violence in PNG, in part because of the failure to also address the demand that exists for these weapons. A nascent demand reduction agenda has emerged at the local level throughout Papua New Guinea in response to the failure of the national government to adequately address small arms and armed violence problems. This thesis provides a detailed overview of national, regional and international initiatives to address small arms issues and examines how they have been implemented in PNG. It then examines initiatives by local community groups and NGOs that are aimed at reducing small arms and armed violence and considers how successful they have been. ii Acknowledgements I must first offer my sincerest thanks to my supervisor Dr. David Capie for the support and guidance he has provided throughout my thesis. His own knowledge on the subject, the suggestions he was able to make in terms of approaches to take in my research, and the regular discussions we had and feedback he provided on each piece of work I sent him proved invaluable in keeping me on track and on time in my work.

All Rights Reserved. 2 Introduction As part of Janes’ support of the New Hampshire Aerospace and Defense Export Consortium (NHADEC), Janes will provide a series of ten high-level market reports on subjects of NHADEC’s choosing as well as two in-depth market segment reports. This market segment market report focuses on the soldier modernization market and is comprised of the following elements: 1. Overview of the main aspects of soldier modernization 2. Ongoing programs 3. Market forecast 2021-2025 Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited. All Rights Reserved. Soldier modernization evolution 3 1990s-2000 2000s-2010 2010s-2020 2030s • Future soldiers programs have been in the making for decades, although the concept only started reaching maturity in the 1990s with the advent of France’s FELIN or the US Land Warrior and Objective Force Warrior. In the 1990s, most projects were still heavily influenced by Cold War type engagement scenarios with a strong focus on mechanized infantry. Technological ambitions were huge and envisioned the use of airburst type combined weapons by “super soldiers” fully networked, heavily armed, capable of dissimulating through adaptive camouflage and holograms and able to live of the land thanks to genetically altered seeds able to turn into edible vegetables in hours. • Of the different programs launched in the 1990s, only FELIN reached maturity, albeit in a much different form than originally conceived. The system started to be fielded by the end of the 2000s and made its debut in operations in Afghanistan in 2011.

  • Army Commissions Locally-Built Self-Propelled Artillery Platform
    Army Commissions Locally-Built Self-Propelled Artillery Platform 24 Nov 2003 Minister for Defence, RADM (NS) Teo, on the Primus. Minister for Defence, Rear-Admiral (NS) Teo Chee Hean, commissioned the Singapore Armed Forces’ (SAF) new self-propelled howitzer at Kranji Camp this afternoon. Named Primus, this is a highly accurate, mobile artillery platform that will enhance the capabilities of the Army’s Combined Arms Divisions’ forces. It was jointly developed by the Singapore Armed Forces, the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and Singapore Technologies Kinetics (ST Kinetics). In the early 1990s, the Army conceived of a need for a weapon system that combined the range, firepower and accuracy of an artillery system with the ability to keep pace with the high tempo of armoured operations. DSTA technologists later worked closely with SAF planners and ST Kinetics engineers to design and develop a system that would meet the Army’s specific operational requirements. The delivery of the Primus marks the latest milestone in the strategic partnership between the SAF, DSTA and the local defence industry. Since the late 1980s, this tripartite partnership has also designed, developed and produced weapon systems and platforms such as the Field 1 Howitzer 88 (FH 88), the Field Howitzer 2000 (FH 2000), the ‘BIONIX’ Infantry Fighting Vehicle, the ‘BRONCO’ All Terrain Tracked Carrier, and the SAR 21 Assault Rifle for the Army.
