1. PUBLIC PRIVATE DEFENCE INDUSTRY COLLABORATION TO MEET MARITIME SECURITY CHALLENGES By Dr. M. Amir Yousuf GM (Tech) Maritime Technologies Complex (MTC) 1

2. INTRODUCTION Maritime Security challenges are multidimensional threat for a country Defence of the country is an expensive preposition A Logical thinking can make effective use of Public Private Collaborations (PPC) to meet the security challenges in general and in maritime security domain in particular 2

3. Maritime Security Challenges Economic Political Environ- mental Military Maritime Security Challenges  Conventional  Asymmetrical  Terrorist Activities  Trade Routes  Smuggling  Living and Non Living Resources  Marking Territories  Exploitation of Resources  Resource Management  Environmental changes  Hurricanes, TSUNAMI  Oil/chemical Spillovers 3

4. Potential for PPC in Defence Industries 4

5. Existing Status in PPC  20+ Major Public Sector Organizations  Around 100 Private Firms  Applied Research  Limited Sub-contracting 5

6. GAPS IN PPC  Lack of collaboration in Basic Research  Confidentiality of Information  Limited sharing of domain knowledge  Funding/financing Research Projects in Public / Private universities Finances for Prototype development Entrepreneurships for new companies Flexible policies and procedures for utilization of funds 6

7. MODEL FOR PPC IN DEFENCE INDUSTRY Info Control New Trends Science and Technologies Research Management Committee for Classification and Identification of Private Firms Information Control Mechanism Ministry of Defence (MoD) Project Management Seminars, Workshop & Conferences Special Research Programs Skill Development Programs Public Universities Private Universities Private Organization Public Organization Project Integration Final Product Commission Applied Research Basic Research 7 Funding and Flexible Policies

Potential Domains for PPC Engineering & Technology Technology Sensors Weapons Decision Support System Advance Intelligence Capability HCI Target Motion Analysis Signature Management Risk Modelling Information Exchange Security Storage Digital Communication Signal Processing Early Warning Systems 8

9. CONCLUSION  There exists a wide range of multidimensional opportunities for PPC to mitigate the maritime security challenges of the region in military, economic, environmental and political arenas.  A coordinated approach for the identified focus areas is essential not only for the PPC but also to increase economic growth by saving the import bill and creating jobs for many skilled individuals.  There is a need to develop /revise policies and procedures for effective collaboration, information sharing and funding. 9
