ARMAMENTS AFFILIATIONSInnovations and Armaments by Ing. Ladislav Klíma, CSc. Among various technologies used for the so-called defence industry in democratic states are substantial differences. Usually, the total of 0.7 per cent out of gross national product is assigned for research and development. That means that states with smaller economics allocate smaller amount of money, to say, about a third of the sum of developed states. The arms industry in the Czech republic is naturally restricted by such limitations. Generally, if we want to innovate this industry means that we must make changes in the structure of arms production, to introduce new things. Technical innovations in industry generate new products, methods of production, technological changes. We know several ways (and the purpose of this article is to define them) how to obtain and introduce new technologies of production. At first, the author specifies innovative criteria. Among them there are: industrial engineering, marketing, projection and construction, the preparation and opening of new production. Last but not least, we have to evaluate new applications of up-to-date technologies, suitable for military use, to develop corresponding military doctrines and rules of combat activities, so that newly introduced capacities could be properly exploited. Then, we must equip armed forces with modern assets for pursuing combat actions and take advantage of information support. The demonstration of advanced technologies should offer to the users very detailed knowledge about new technological potentials for the forces. Such technologically up-to-date defence will lead to universally acceptable and accessible higher level of national security in the 21st century. [VR SP Armt Issue 2000] The Education of Military Technical Professionals and Its Relevance for the Armaments of the Army by Prof. Ing. František Ludvík, CSc. The armaments, i.e. the equipment of the army by special military technology, is the process that on the base of contemporary scientific knowledge and branches of science dealing with equipment, armaments, military technology and corresponding industrial production, together guarantee reaching given goal—arming the forces. Reaching such defined object is impossible without appropriate education level of officers, maintenance officers, research and development workers, experimental, developmental and manufacturing institutions (mostly civilian employees). Military education and technical schooling of army professionals play an important part in not only during the process of armaments, but also with the overall level of general maturity of the country. To fulfil those demanding programmes, the Military Academy Brno prepared (under Act No 111/1998—Universities and Technological Colleges) the study programmes for bachelors, masters of arts (i.e. ”magistr” in Czech) and doctors, which include also above mentioned themes. [VR SP Armt Issue 2000] Logistical Interoperable Technologies and Military Materiel Support (The” OPERA” Project) by Ing. Miroslav Lorenc, CSc.. The object of this project was to gain deep knowledge of this problem both at home and abroad. Substantial part was constituted by the assessment of presumption for introducing integrated logistical support of technological assemblies used by the Army of the Czech Republic, which are of decisive significance for the state defence. They are: aircraft, tanks, vehicles and respective supporting devices that—at the level of NATO standards—are regarded as necessary. Effective methods of maintaining of military materials have serious consequence for defence capacities of state. Insufficient technological support of acquisition is the very cause of extremely high expenses of military material and missing functionality. The OPERA project is a close sequel of VOJLOGISTIKA project—the research of selected problems of military logistics, which dealt with problems connected with the codification of supply materiel and automatic testing appliances. The results proved that issue of codification is tied not only with itemization if military material, but it is fundamental and underlying philosophy of the compatibility of various processes, concerning the acquisition and exploration of equipment and armaments. Analyses of automatic testing system indicated that we must keep operational superstructure of materiel support as the prerequisite for compatibility of effective maintenance. It is based on integration of diagnostic means and methods, the core of which ought to be the concentrator VXI p&p. The OPERA research concentrated on more general and deeper question of functional integration in the field of acquiring of military material. One of the components of logistical backup of NATO’s armies is a specific normative called NATO Codification System (NCS) Considering the fact that military material is as important, as demanding item of defence budget, this normative offers an interface between defence and industrial sectors, rectifying and improving industrial production and supply of logistic parameters. The logistical concept as quantification of material management brings phenomena such as: virtual warehousing, e-mail business, simultaneous engineering, interactive electronic and technical manuals, notably increasing the productivity of acquisition, and the exploitation of military armaments, vehicles and material (IDE, CALS/EC, EDI/CE, JCALS, AECMA 2000, JEDMICS, SGML/XML, IETM, STEP, MSDM, CM/DM, BPR), with the use of International Codification System. [VR SP Armt Issue 2000] Arms Industry and Armaments by Ing. Ladislav Klíma, CSc., Col. Ing. Karel Eminger. It is well-know fact that in developed states, private companies form the largest part of all defence industry. Even small productive enterprises and plans may take part in competitive examinations for state purchases and even minor sub-suppliers can challenge foreign firms at international market. It is useless for the Czech Republic to produce all article needed for defence. Although Czech arms production substantially decreased (partly owning to the fact that the state unfortunately rendered some important military maintenance and production plants to private companies), now we face a sort of recovery in arms production. The recently issued document ”National Strategy of Armaments” helps to run the development of Czech defence industries. It introduces strategic routes towards foreign co-operation, based both firstly on our national defence production, and secondly on the present-day globalization of arms industry. This pattern shapes basic frames for following plans: plan for armaments, defence research plan and the plan for the state support of defence industry. Newly formed Armaments Division at the Czech Ministry of Defence (the head of which is the Director of the National Office for Armaments) is ready and prepared to solve above-mentioned problems. Besides the Defence Ministry, there are two other institutions that assist to this process: the Conference of National Armaments Directors and NATO Industrial Advisory Group. [VR SP Armt Issue 2000] Will Information Systems Help to Armaments Process; Will Armaments System Help to Information Systems? by Doc. Ing. Ladislav Buřita, CSc. Nobody can repudiate basic importance of knowledge and information for organization management, its professional scope, speed, punctuality, targets. So, we developed information and communication systems, inside organizations in defence sector, called ”systems of command and control” and ”operational and tactical systems”. We have already invested a lot of money and other material sources to such systems. This can be proved by the list of expenses. But we must also ask themselves: Are those sources really spent effectively? Do developed information systems offer desired knowledge? Do we introduce systems and project methodically, in time and correctly? Do results correspond to invested money? Do running processes keep up with general standards, with corresponding results? Have we prepared well-qualified working teams? Are we able to use such terms and integrate capacities of service schools? How we attract professional personnel? In short, the subject of gradual informatisation of defence sector is broad and far-reaching. Mentioned issues are the questions we must answer in the short future. Many of them are going to be solved at the conference held in the Brno Military Academy, November 15, 2000.
