86. The White Paper on Science and Technology (Section ) notes that the maintenance of a strong technology base is a prerequisite of the new SANDF strategy and must serve a number of purposes, namely:
Education Malaysia Global Services
With the attention and investment the area is receiving, Johor Bahru has very recently become a lively and popular place to explore, to shop and to hang out. The weekends see Singaporeans flock to the area, though few travelling foreigners have yet to see the appeal of the cheaper and more authentic attractions and options in Johor. Change will continue for the next few years with the region set to see a steady influx of international university faculty and students, which will further promote a young and vibrant atmosphere of diversity and promise.
South African Defence Related Industries White Paper
58. A co-operative effort between the DoD, identifying future needs for technology (requirement pull) and industry, identifying the future capabilities and opportunities (technology push) is needed. This is provided by technology development programmes, also enabling industries doing defence work to export technologically competitive products.
31 Paper and card - Waste Book
95. Developments in computer and software technologies are currently far more rapid than in other defence technologies. Weapons systems have long life cycles and therefore will require upgrades as new technologies become available and user requirements change. Combat systems software and support have therefore become a strategic technology and capability..
The company or institution could be sold to a private investor, and then the state would guarantee to buy back services and/or products from the company or institution (Complete Privatisation).

67. Manufacture. Inspections relating to the manufacture of firearms and ammunition are conducted jointly with local police, the Central Firearms Register and the Department of Labour (factory licence). Applicants must demonstrate adequate training, experience and competence before being granted a manufacturing licence.
86. The concerns around the continued economic viability of the domestic defence related industries are linked to the need to create jobs, to improve the performance and competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, and to boost exports. In this context the imperative to initiate diversification efforts in the defence related industries has become an urgent economic necessity.
66. The White Paper requires the Defence Review to present, for the consideration of Parliament and the public, detailed and well-motivated budgetary forecasts and proposals specific policies regarding the provisioning of logistic resources and the identification of appropriate technology to optimise the cost-effectiveness of the core force (Chapter 7: par. 6).
67. Despite the growing emphasis on the export market, the DoD remains the largest, and in many cases the only, client for defence products and services. In 6996/97 the DoD purchased nearly R8 billion in products and services domestically, which accounted for over 85% of its total acquisition spending. Most of the products purchased are developed to the specific requirements of the SANDF, which funds roughly half the R& D carried out by the defence related industry and therefore owns much of the immaterial property rights. Following a global trend, the SANDF also contracts out a large portion of its logistic and operational support. Defence related industries thus become indispensable to the SANDF's logistic and operational capability, both during times of peace and war.
