To increase its technological capability in the area of homeland security, the government is pushing for focused research on the latest electronic equipment, which can be indigenously manufactured. Presently, several equipment that cater to the needs of various security agencies are either not available simply in the country, or very costly to deploy.
The maintenance demands of the armed forces and the operational plans of the commercial industry that support these inventory deviates as the life of the inventory increases.
The advantage with Indigenisation is the ability for the local industry to build and own intellectual property that is accessible for future projects.
