SDSR. RUSI SURVEY 2011

From The Navy Campaign

A recent survey from RUSI.

RUSI asked 1,543 people in the defence and security sector for their response to a series of questions. The findings are very interesting and quite quick to read.

These two will probably be of immediate interest –

Experience of the Libya campaign validated the equipment and capability changes set out in the Strategic Defence and Security Review.

12% (186) agreed, 74% (1143) disagreed and 14% (214) were undecided.

The need for a carrier strike capability has become more apparent since last year's Strategic Defence and Security Review.

68% (1059) agreed, 24% (363) disagreed and 8% (121) were undecided.
