Dear Update<br>
<br>
SGR has launched a new report on UK military R&D, and the
alternatives, based on in-depth analysis of new data obtained using
freedom of information requests.
<br>
<br>
The report provides, for the first time, a detailed breakdown of
(most of) the MoD's R&D programmes, and also analyses
alternative civilian R&D spending on tackling the roots of
conflict, in areas such as climate change, international development
and resource depletion.
<br>
<br>
A brief analysis of economic and employment aspects of military
R&D, and alternatives, is also provided.
<br>
<br>
Full report + executive summary:
