Research and procurement
The Parties agree that the Ministry of Defence will emphasise Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in future
procurements.
Research stimulates public debate, creates the foundation for political discussions and raises the professional level
of the Armed Forces. Therefore, the Parties want a strengthened research effort..
The Armed Forces' cooperation with industry on research and development will be strengthened in order to
maintain the Danish defence industry as an attractive partner for other countries' defence industries. Additional
funding will be added to the pool for co-financing projects at the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics
Organisation. A part of the funds will be earmarked for research into cyber-related topics. Military technological
research will be further strengthened during the agreement period by establishing an cooperation between relevant
research institutions. A total of DKK 50 million will be earmarked for this.
With regard to drones, the Armed Forces will improve opportunities to support the related industry in Denmark.
Therefore, during the agreement period, the Armed Forces will attend the UAS Denmark Test Centre, with a view
to exchange experience, and will be participating in UAS Denmark's future Advisory Board, as well as make use
of the capacity provided by UAS Denmark.
The arrangements with the Danish Institute of International Studies (DIIS) and the Centre for Military Studies
(CMS) are continued, and the Parties wish to see increased research initiatives relating to the Baltic Sea and Baltic
countries as well as on cyber related topics.
The Parties want increased focus on the challenges to international law that are associated with participation in
international operations, cyber, drones and high tech and electronic warfare. The Ministry of Defence will allocate
a further DKK 15 million in the period to the Centre for Military Studies for the acquiring of specialised expertise
based on government tender regulations and criteria for academic excellence in an open process.
In addition, research in the veteran field and research under the Emergency Management Agency will continue.
The Ministry of Defence provides an annual allocation of DKK 250,000 to the Danish Atlantic Treaty Association
for the implementation of specific projects and an annual allocation of DKK 1 million to the Danish Foreign
Policy Society for the implementation of concrete projects. A total of DKK 7.5 million is allocated for this period.
Budget analyses etc.
The Armed Forces have completed a number of budget analyses that have identified efficiency proposals with
total potential revenues of DKK 991 million annually when fully phased in. These measures will collectively
provide a more efficient and less top heavy organisation within the Defence. Adding a number of other initiatives,
the total revenue will reach approximately DKK 1 billion when all measures from the analyses are fully phased in.
The Parties agree that the actions in Annex 2 are to be implemented and that the revenue be used to finance
political decisions from the Defence Agreement for the years 2013 to 2017, including the acquisition of new fighter
