“…Diğer tüm projelerde olduğu gibi savunma projelerinde de maliyet, performans ve süre temel değişkenlerdir ve "demir üçgen" olarak adlandırılan bu değişkenler proje tamamlandıktan sonra geriye dönük olarak ölçülebilmektedir (Müller ve Jugdev, 2012: 758). Savunma projelerine yönelik olarak günümüze dek tanımlanmış olan risklerin sayısı oldukça fazla olmakla birlikte, bu riskler genel olarak üç tür risk kategorisi altında sınıflandırılabilir: Teknolojik riskler, sözleşmeden kaynaklanan riskler ve organizasyonel riskler (Oxenstierna ve Westerlund 2013;Kwak ve Smith, 2009;Franck ve Udis, 2017).…”

Savunma proje yönetim süreci üst düzey siyasi ve stratejik belgelerin yön verdiği uzun soluklu bir süreç olup, çok çeşitli riskler barındırmaktadır. Hedefler doğrultusunda harekât ihtiyaçlarının belirlenmesini müteakip bu sistemlerin teminine yönelik plan ve programlar çeşitli kurulların çalışmalarıyla hayata geçirilmekte ve tahsis edilen sınırlı kaynaklarla tedarik süreci başlamaktadır. Her yıl artan modernizasyon bütçelerinin, sınırsız ihtiyaçların tahsis edilen sınırlı kaynakla karşılanması baskısı nedeniyle mümkün olduğunca etkin, ekonomik ve verimli kullanılması esastır. Kurumlara değer katmak, geliştirmek ve kaynakların etkili, ekonomik ve verimli kullanılmasını sağlamak maksadıyla idarelerin risk yönetim sistemlerini değerlendirmekle yükümlü iç denetim birimlerinin proje yönetim sürecine de önemli katkılar sağlaması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; iç denetim fonksiyonunun savunma projelerinin yönetim sürecini risk odaklı yaklaşımla nasıl daha etkin denetleyebileceğini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada öncelikle doküman analiz yöntemiyle, uluslararası uygulamalardan da yararlanılarak savunma projelerinin nasıl yönetildiği, risk odaklı iç denetim yaklaşımı ve bu yaklaşımın proje yönetim süreçlerinde nasıl uygulandığı incelendikten sonra proje yönetim sürecinin riskleri, kontrolleri ve bu kontrollerin nasıl test edileceği sistem denetimi yaklaşımıyla analiz edilmekte ve denetimlerde uygulanabilecek bir model önerisi geliştirilmektedir

“…However, this well-conceived and well-supported strategy did not quite succeed. The NG-Airbus Group team won the first KC-X source selection in 2008, but Boeing successfully protested that result, and won the repeated competition in 2011 (Franck and Udis, 2017). Currently, Airbus Group has only limited sales to the DoD.…”

“…It consists of separate and sometimes contentious parts inherent in its separation-ofpowers structure. Franck and Udis (2017), for example, concluded that the government sometimes functions more like a "quarrelsome committee" than the monopsonist in standard economic theory. The KC-X source selection processes were cited as a good example.…”

The United States defence economy is remarkable for a number of reasons - including sheer size. It receives a significant (albeit decreasing) share of GDP and has a significant international footprint. Its purpose is to provide the resources for national defence - against a set of complex and capable adversaries. The main players in the defence economy are households, and the Federal Government. The associated interactions determine the resources provided for national defence and their allocation among various defence needs. This Element focuses primarily on interactions between government and industrial suppliers within the institutional peculiarities of the defence marketplace. This includes the developments that have determined the course of defence industry consolidation post-Cold War. The authors also highlight the persistent gap between resources available for defence and the means to execute the National Security Strategy. Finally, they offer some tentative thoughts regarding developments likely to shape the defence economy's future.

“…The research on information asymmetry is also relevant for studying the challenges of defence procurement . Research on organisational behaviour Franck and Udis 2017), public choice theory (Cowen and Lee 1992), and industrial policy research have been used to identify the challenges of defence procurement.…”

Although there exist several remarkable theories that facilitate the understanding of procurement risks in imperfect market conditions, methods to quantify the impact and identify the most severe risks are less well-known. This paper uses the method of risk analysis to discuss defence procurement challenges in India. An original dataset of 88 contracts has been created to identify the most probable and the most severe causes for poor procurement performance. A schedule performance parameter has been constructed to quantify the impact of different adverse events. The findings display a high probability of technological risks followed by contractual risks as the cause for delays in Indian defence procurement. Technological risks are concentrated in cases of indigenous procurement due to a lack of infrastructure and resources while contractual risks mostly occur in contracts where the Ministry of Defence deals with external agents like foreign suppliers. This indicates frictions and transaction costs. These and other findings from the quantitative data on procurement performance are supplemented by insights from an extensive fieldwork in India which included 53 interviews.
