I know you've been at RUSI for quite a while, from reading your bio.
I want to drill down on an issue that you kind of touched on, Professor Taylor. I know that Dr. Ross is incredibly experienced on this from her time at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.
What's the importance, from a national defence perspective, of having the indigenous capabilities of domestic production of your own equipment versus having to rely on international partners? This is especially when you look at the great power struggles that we're seeing today—the war in Ukraine, the war in Israel with the terrorist attack by Hamas, and the ongoing conflict raging in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines, never mind over the Strait of Taiwan with the independent island of Taiwan and the PRC.
I'm just wondering about the importance of having those defence industry capabilities domestically.
