The Politics and DV Engineering working group analyses current political developments in the defence sector. It provides independent facts and interpretation from the technological knowledge and experience of engineers.
The Politics and DV Engineering working group has questions and comments on the recent Parliamentary letters regarding the acquisition of Scania vehicles.
In these questions, the working group shares the House of Representatives' concerns about the readiness of the armed forces units involved. However, the recent reports also raise concerns about the structural effectiveness of the acquisition process from operational requirement definition to equipment delivery.
