A Comparison of the Defense Acquisition Systems of Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and the United States

This is a book about the national armament systems of five nations. It provides an introduction to the political environment, the acquisition organizations, systems and processes of Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the United States. These countries were selected for two reasons; they are participants in the annual Pacific International Acquisition and Procurements Seminar (IAPS) and because as allies and friends they are likely participants in future international armaments cooperative programs.
