2nd Era – Defence Industrial Participation (“Defence Packages” 1994 Onwards)
Benefits:• Limited Skills Retention• Export” Opportunities• OEM Investment in SA
Downsides:• Highly Cyclical• Essentially unsustainable
Characteristics:• Military, Limited Volume• Declining Def. Budgets• Single Client• Largely Build-to-Print
Progressive Emergence from Arms Embargo
