The initial hope for conducting polymers was that they would replace metals in applications as simple conductors. The interest for conducting coatings and radio-frequency shielding remains, but is so far held up by problems of instability and cost. Much work in this area is not published because it is carried out by the defence industries. 

The technique may be said to combine the advantages of vacuum evaporation and sputtering, so that excellent qualities of adhesion are obtained without a limitation of maximum thickness of the coating—while at the same time the rate of deposition can be comparatively high. Many metals, alloys, and compounds may be deposited, on both metallic and non-metallic articles. However, its use at present is mainly for functional and protective applications, particularly where high resistance to corrosion is required. Thus, as examples, aluminium may be deposited on various types of steel and on titanium for uses in the aerospace and defence industries—and can be regarded as a less hazardous replacement for cadmium electroplating.

An important feature of the conference s concept was the involvement of representatives from defence-related industries and research centres the economic conversion of the defence sector in the East and West offers new opportunities to apply this sector s vast experience and resources in areas of environmental concern. The ecological problem of sea-dumped CW in particular not only has direct relevance to the military industry, but requires much specific experience (i.e. in weapons destruction or underwater technologies) which may be obtained only from the defence industry and science of the countries concerned. 

The Conference on sea-dumped chemical munitions was made possible due to a grant from NATO. It can be seen as another sign of modem times, when defence organisations, within the framework of new partnerships, contribute to solving the common ecological threats Europe is facing today, and help re-pay the environmental debt caused by the military. The conference can be seen as a positive effort toward putting the environment and defence industries in concert.

In order to cope with this changing environment, the global defence industry has to find a way to grow profitably in a declining market and maintain an acceptable financial performance by reducing their costs.

Another area of interest in the defence industry is the security of supply of key ingredients and the identification and qualification of new or replacement materials. It is increasingly difficult (and in many cases impossible) to purchase the exact same materials used in the production of early assemblies/materials. The preferred option for material supply (particularly the organic materials, with volatile constituents) in the defence industry is to have greater (in-house) control over the production of constituents and formulation of materials. All programmes to develop new or replacement materials require the delivery of assessments/tests to understand the ageing and chemical compatibility issues.

Total cost of ownership rather than price is used here because in most transactions there will be costs other than the purchase price involved. For example, inventory carrying costs, maintenance costs, running costs, disposal costs and so on, In business-to-business markets particularly, as buyers become increasingly sophisticated, the total costs of ownership can be a critical element in the purchase decision. Life-cycle costs , as they are referred to in the military and defence industries, have long been a critical issue in procurement decisions in those markets. Figure 2.1 shows the iceberg effect of total costs of ownership where the immediate purchase price is the only aspect of cost that is visible, whereas below the surface of the water are all the costs that will arise as a result of the purchase decisions. 

Systems Engineering is a worldwide accepted tool for the design of complex projects. It is used in many sectors of industry such as aero and space technology, telephone systems, defence industry and computer technology. Also for infrastructure works this method has proven its credibility. 

For example, an organisation supplying ISAs in the naval defence industry may have particular domain experience of naval maritime operations and systems, knowledge of hazards associated with naval ship operations and their consequences, and knowledge of the relevant defence standards. These should be reflected in the competency matrix.

Table B2.1 show that not only are the design processes different, as indicated in the column Main Characteristics , but the interfaces between the processes and their environments are also quite different, as indicated in the columns Input and Output . Much of the complexity in design comes from these interfaces, and how we handle this complexity therefore depends on which particular process we are considering. We shall return to this issue in Chapter C2, when we discuss how systems engineering has been developed largely within a particular contracting strategy, the acquisition strategy of the US Department of Defense, and how this has been a barrier to applying the systems approach in non-defence industries.
