Systems Analysis of Strategic Defence Needs-A Further Comment


Systems Analysis of Strategic Defence Needs A Further Comment Shankar Acharya J G KRISHNAYYA and J K Satia (henceforth referred to as KS) make a number of criticisms in their Comment (May 3, 1969) on S Swamy's 'Systems Analysis of Strategic Defence Needs' (February 22, 196S). They also provide an alternative 'framework for a systems analysis for the strategic defence of India' (KS p 776). Most of their criticisms require qualification and since they do not use their alternative framework to derive any concrete defence strategy, its adequacy for the task remains untested.
