Scope and content

Describes the feasibility appraisal which the United Kingdom Ministry of Technology undertakes when the Defence Ministry decides on what air weapons it needs. The expenditure on research and development in defence is compared with that spent by the Pentagon. Mintech's involvement with the Ministry of Defence's projects ensures that funds are not committed unless a project shows certainty of success. This eliminates extravagance but also prevents sensational technical breakthroughs as of teh kind experienced in the United States.
