STRATEGIC VALUE OF NATO's INVESTMENT ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION (STI): MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE AS INTANGIBLE ASSETS Ioannis REMATISIOS, Professor Yannis A. POLLALIS* NCI Agency, The Hague, Netherlands *University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece
Abstract
This paper discusses the defence Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) investment within NATO. As a complex process it involves multiple stakeholders with common interest in development of knowledge through R&D activities, connecting current and future military capabilities. The objective is to generate and provide evidence-based scientific advice to decision-makers and deliver advanced solutions to national and NATO challenges. This process can generate valuable intangible assets for the Alliance in form of information and knowledge-based capital. The challenge for NATO is to manage and exploit the advantages of collective defence STI on behalf of its 29 members. The article approaches defence STI policies in comparison with power of politics and national as well as industrial interests. The attempt to quantify scientific knowledge as added value with significant return on investment unfolds the dynamics and vulnerabilities within NATO’s corporate culture. Although complexity is the main argument and pre-assumption, multidisciplinary aspects (political, economic, social, technological, and legal) are carefully examined and explored, providing a comprehensive approach of its strategic value to the Alliance.

THE POLITICS OF ARMS TRADE:THE “FORGOTTEN WAR” IN YEMEN Raluca-Elena RĂDUCEA* *National School of Political and Administrative Studies, Bucharest, Romania
Abstract
This paper focuses on the political implications of the arms trade and transfers related to the conflict in Yemen, wishing to emphasize the nature and the impact of arms exports to states involved in ongoing military conflict to both the outcome of the military intervention as well as to the international norms regulating arms exports. Labelled as ‘the forgotten war’, the conflict in Yemen has failed to raise sufficient international attention as to amount for the scale of the humanitarian and political disaster that encompasses the country and negatively impacts the evolution in the region. Although the legitimacy of the conflict has generated a considerable amount of legal and academic debate, which was doubled by the numerous international organizations drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian situation, these actions have failed to produce enough momentum such as to consistently alter national practices related to arms exports and to determine a collective response under UN auspices.

THE IMPACT OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND TRADE ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN IRAN: AN ARDL BOUNDS TEST APPROACH MASOUD ALI KHALID* *College of Administration & Financial Science, Department of Accounting by IT. Cihan University-Slemani, Kurdistan Region Government/Iraq
Abstract
The correlation between trade, FDI and economic growth in many developing nations had remained one of the greatest crucial problems in the economic scholars in current years mostly for those countries facing from unemployment issues and lack of skills and technological development. Our study evaluates this problem by applying Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model over the span 1970 - 2007 in Iran. We have found evidence that the relationship between FDI and population is positive and statistically significant, meaning that population is mainly characterized by foreign investors, knowledge and transfer of technology, and we can see that FDI is mainly affected by skill employers in Iran. While the relationship between FDI, Trade and GDPC are positive but insignificant, it illustrates that FDI doesn’t have any impact on both trade and growth rate in Iran. Our findings are similar with previous studies.
Key words
Economic growth, FDI, Trade, ARDL and Iran.

PROJECTING THE ORDER OF MILITARY MERIT POPULATION. AN APPLICATION OF THE COHORT-COMPONENT METHOD Meagan BOILEAU* *Department of National Defence, Ottawa, Canada
Abstract
In 1972 the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) created the Order of Military Merit (Order) to honor members who have demonstrated conspicuous merit and exceptional service. Despite efforts to ensure appointments to the Order were representative of the entire CAF, a 2007 study found that appointments had become concentrated at senior ranks. In response to this study, new nomination guidelines were released in 2007 and then augmented in 2010. The 2010 guidelines yielded some early positive results; however, the average years of service (YOS) at appointment target has not been met. The Order’s advisory council requested a population forecast of the Order to determine the impact on the size and YOS profile of the serving Order population if the typical YOS at appointment is reduced to 18 to 23 years. This paper presents the methodology used to model the Order population and discusses the impact of appointing members to the Order earlier in their career.

THE QUANTITY ASSESMENT OF THE HUMAN FACTOR IN UNIT COMBAT CAPABILITY Azer ALIEV, Azad BAYRAMOV *Armed Forces War College of the Azerbaijan Republic Baku, Azerbaijan Republic
Abstract
In the paper, the task of quantity assessment of the human factor has been considered in the determination of the unit combat capability. For determination of personal (staff) combat potential a physical drill, a combat training, a moral and psychological training, as well as, a battle experience have been taken into account as human factors. Besides this, an influence of a field and an environment conditions have been taken into account. Using these numerical data and weapon effectiveness coefficients, the method of unit combat capability (a dynamic power) calculations has been offered. In accordance to this method, first, the static power of unit has been determined, then the battle and environment conditions are been taken account.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR PEACEBUILDING OPERATIONS Mustafa Kemal TOPCU* Unsal SIGRI** * Ph.D., Lecturer, National Defense University, Ankara, Turkey ** Prof. dr., Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey
Abstract
Threats were specified and in mass in the past, and then are transformed to multi-directional, multi-dimensional, and volatile structure in early 21st century. Hence uncertainty and instability dominate operational area. Today, security is comprehended solely not military but political, economic, lawful, psychological, and technological in a holistic approach. Towards this end, global security environment may be defined with three key words: circulation, complexity, and contingency. Within this context, aim of the mission is to enforce peace and restore stability by proactive measures. However, it seems impossible to have fruitful results in peace building operations by training 21st century people with a mindset of pre-Cold War time. Hence, the study aims at revealing the need for change in curriculum of officers to get deployed in peace building operations. The study, therefore, proposes a unified body taking on nationwide responsibility to manage training operations, and lays out relevant programs and tools to be included in curriculum.

STUDY OF WATER JET PROPULSION SYSTEM DESIGN FOR FAST PATROL BOAT (FPB-60) Arica Dwi SUSANTO, U.B. PRIHANTO, AHMADI, Okol S SUHARYO, Adi BANDONO* *Indonesian Naval Technology College, STTAL, Bumimoro-Morokrembangan, Surabaya 60187, Indonesia
Abstract
FPB-60 is a type of patrol boat built by shipyard in Indonesia to strengthen the needs of water territorial. However, the 20 years age caused a decrease in performance of the vessel. The method used was the harvard guldammer method to calculate water jet system parameters at a maximum velocity of 35 knots such as inlet diameter and nossel diameter, pump power, pump type used and other parameters to obtain Overall Propulsive Coefficient at that speed. In the calculation of water jet propulsion system design, the amount of capacity generated water jet pump system obtained was 4.15 m3 / s with flow velocity on the nozzle/jet of 28.8 m/s. Based on the value of specific swabs of suction (Nss) of 6205.49, the pump for the water jet propulsion system had considered fulfilled the cavitation limit requirement so that it could be used for (FPB-60).
