New Delhi: A ground-breaking book titled “Nuances of Transfer of Technology in Defence Domain & Its Mathematical Modelling” has been released, offering rare insights into one of the most critical aspects of modern defence strategy. Authored by Dr. Lakshman Singh and Gaurav Yadav, the book brings together both the technical and diplomatic dimensions of defence technology transfer, a subject often shrouded in secrecy and strategic sensitivity.
The work carries a foreword by Ambassador Pankaj Saran (IFS, former Deputy National Security Advisor of India) and Subrata Mondal, General Manager, HAL Nasik, along with an introduction by Saket Chaturvedi, CEO, MIG Complex, HAL.
Defence, Diplomacy, and Mathematics Interwoven
The book examines the delicate balance between national security, defence diplomacy, and technology acquisition. It also ventures into mathematical modelling of technology transfer, enabling policymakers and industry leaders to better understand project economics, timelines, and execution pathways.
“The book does justice to both the technical part of the Transfer of Technology and the geopolitical approach and skills required to achieve such transfer. It beautifully brings out the two facets of the same coin: technological knowledge and defence diplomacy,” remarked Gen. V.K. Singh (Retd.), PVSM, AVSM, YSM, ADC, former Union Minister and current Governor of Mizoram.
Endorsements from Defence Leaders
Several prominent voices from India’s defence and strategic community have hailed the book as timely and significant.
Mr. Ravi Prakash, Executive Director, HAL Korwa, noted that it provides a unique blend of technical detail and geopolitical insight, making it essential for anyone working on defence strategy and technology.
Dr. J.P. Das, Chief General Manager, National Academy of Defence Production, praised it as “an invaluable resource for policymakers, industry professionals, and academics alike”.
Prof. (Dr.) Nisha Kant Ojha, Advisor to the Ministry of Defence, highlighted its role in strengthening national security and guiding India’s path towards strategic self-reliance.
A Timely Contribution to India’s Defence Modernisation
With India accelerating its drive towards Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in defence, this book arrives at a crucial moment. It demystifies the complexities of technology transfer, combining real-world experiences with structured analytical models. For policymakers, defence professionals, and researchers, it offers a roadmap to navigate the intricate web of defence partnerships and technological advancements.
Published by Lancer Publishers, the book is being described as a must-read compendium for those engaged in the defence sector and national security policy.
