Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Defence (JSCD) has raised a number of concerns over the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC), including outdated IT systems, poor reporting and End User Certificates.
In a committee report dated 26 February, the JSCD said one of the challenges raised by both the Committee and the defence industry, is that the current IT system utilised by the NCACC to process applications appears to be outdated, not able to desegregate information in a holistic and user-friendly manner, as well as causing delays in processing applications.
“The NCACC acknowledges this shortcoming and indicated that they hope to migrate to a new system by early 2021. Armscor has also indicated that they can assist the Directorate for Conventional Arms Control (DCAC) to migrate to a more user-friendly and updated system.”

The declining defence budget and the poor state of Denel are having a negative impact on the South African defence industry, Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Defence (JSCD) has said.
In a committee report dated 26 February, the JSCD examined the state of the South African Defence Industry (SADI), after engagements with the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC), Armscor, Denel, the National Defence Industry Council (NDIC) and the South African Defence Industry (SADI), represented by the Aerospace, Maritime and Defence Industries Association (AMD).
It said one of the biggest challenges facing the defence industry in South Africa is the declining defence budget and its subsequent negative impact. The Defence Budget shortfall means that the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) cannot modernise through the acquisition of equipment and systems while maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) is also falling behind.

According to a report of Parliamentâs Joint Standing Committee on Defence (JSCD), one of the biggest challenges facing the South African defence industry is the declining defence budget and its impact on this industrial and manufacturing sector of the national economy.
âThe defence budget shortfall means the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) cannot modernise through the acquisition of equipment and systems while maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) also falls behind. That the Special Defence Account (SDA), designed for SANDF weapons acquisition and long-term research and development (R&D) projects, is being phased out is one of the main reasons for this situation.
