Defense research organizations in Bulgaria do not have managementarrangements, appropriate for the conduct of or participation in researchprojects, and especially international research projects. It is difficult to find, motivate and keep involved young scientists in thecurrent environment in BAS.The culture of using OA / CAX requires considerable further promotion andimprovement among end-users in the security sector.Support from international experts and the integration into internationalprojects is essential for the continuity of the capability.The methodology of applied Operations Analysis, (not only the classicalmathematical Operations Research) Modeling, and Simulation should be a keyelement in academic curricula.The existence of the established capacity can only be sustained if a sufficientThe existence of the established capacity can only be sustained if a sufficientfunding and tasking by the end users is guarantied.funding and tasking by the end users is guarantied.The capacity of a “think tank” institution is a high value asset in nationalThe capacity of a “think tank” institution is a high value asset in nationalsecurity structures.security structures.The payoff for the investment in such an institution is very large in comparison to The payoff for the investment in such an institution is very large in comparison to
