[SGRupdate] SGR launches new report - Offensive Insecurity: The role of science and technology in UK security strategies

[SGR]

Dear Update

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.

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.

A brief analysis of economic and employment aspects of military R&D, and 
alternatives, is also provided.

Full report + executive summary:

strategies
