The forthcoming UK Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) is being conducted in a most politically charged climate. While the elevation of defence to the top of the political agenda has been a long time coming, the only definitive message that has emerged over recent weeks is that the UK government has already concluded that the current defence programme is unaffordable and big changes are on their way. As a result it faces a huge challenge in deciding what to do about it. Speaking at the RUSI on 14 June, Defence Secretary Liam Fox said that the SDSR would have to make a clean break from the thinking of the past and will be “ruthless and without sentiment”.

There has been much political rhetoric from both sides of the House on the pivotal role of high-technology manufacturing in the recovery of the UK economy. The Defence sector represents 300,000 jobs and 10% of the UK’s manufacturing output. With an annual turnover of £35 billion and a 21% share of the global market, Defence exports alone support 65,000 of these jobs. But these are economic facts and they are of strategic importance. Of more strategic importance is industry’s role in equipping and supporting the UK’s Armed Forces in Afghanistan, a most complex and dangerous theatre of war. And there will be other such challenging operations in the future.

It arrived in the midst of renewed press speculation concerning the survival of three separate British Armed Forces, and as defence spending continues to shrink as a proportion of Gross Domestic Product.
