Imported defence systems are like crutches that can provide only
temporary sustenance but not enduring muscle strength. Dependence
on imports makes a nation hostage to the policies of the exporting
nations and captive to the dictates of unscrupulous foreign
vendors. Therefore, 'Make in India' is a highly overdue clarion
call and a mission statement. The book identifies reasons for the
dismal state of the Indian defence industry and suggests corrective
measures. It recommends the integration of the private sector and
support to MSMEs. The need for an ecosystem to foster innovations
has also been emphasised. As the defence industry is characterised
by rapid obsolescence, regular infusion of the latest defence
technologies is essential. FDI is not just a question of getting
funds but accesses the latest know-how as well. Similarly, the
powerful leverage of offsets can be used to obtain technologies
that industrially advanced nations are unwilling to sell. Finally,
the book suggests the establishment of a Defence and Aerospace
Commission to oversee all functions pertaining to armament
production, acquisitions and exports.
