Market Overview
Budget and Personnel Cuts to Create Greater Space for Industry in Defence Service Support
Reduction in defence budgets and armed forces personnel are forcing many European states to reassess support in service (SIS) structures. Creating strategic partnerships with industry will provide opportunities to minimise costs while maintaining adequate capability. “Ministries of Defence (MOD) are striving to gain value for money; they are attempting to keep platforms operational and available for deployment, while trying to keep support costs down,” notes the analyst of this research. “At a time when budgets and personnel are being reduced, MODs are having to consider new ways to provide efficient support for more advanced and complex platforms with their higher associated operational and maintenance costs.”
Outsourcing support to industry is one way out of this conundrum. It could harmonise cost control and availability. Partnering with industry and outsourcing some aspects of SIS could streamline maintenance processes and provide significant cost savings.
Industry Needs to Emphasise the Cost Saving Potential of SIS to MODs
Armed forces throughout Europe are hesitant to outsource the support of their equipment to the commercial sector. Many armed forces, including those in Germany and Italy, have built up large in-house capacities to maintain their equipment. This has involved substantial investment and time. It has also made them reluctant to change their support model and turn to industry for solutions. In addition, many armed forces believe that they can maintain their equipment at a higher standard.
Companies that provide SIS must highlight its cost saving potential to MODs. Flexibility within these support contracts is vital to allow armed forces to adapt to emerging or unforeseen threats. “Enforced budget cuts are likely compel MoDs to integrate industry into support activities,” concludes the analyst. “This arrangement has proven successful, especially in the role that industry has played alongside military support personnel in Afghanistan.”
