BMI View: Continued tension with Pyongyang dominates the outlook for South Korean defence and security. The uncertainty caused by the bellicose regime to the north has driven substantial defence spending increases and will continue to keep Seoul on high alert. In addition to this headline volatility, we are increasingly interested in defence exports as growing South Korean expertise creates new opportunities to export globally. The Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa will be key areas for this growth.

BMI View: Egypt's strategic position is extremely tense following the ousting of President Mohamed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood-led government during a coup d'etat supported by the country's armed forces in July 2013. However, the coup has caused the United States to place some military aid on hold for the time being as of the time of writing ( May 2014 ) .

We expect Romania to spend US$2.9bn on defence in 2014. This is an increase on the US$2.7 the defence budget was worth in 2013. In early May 2014, the Romanian government announced that spending increases were necessary as a reaction to the deteriorating security situation in Ukraine. That country has become increasingly unstable since its revolution in Spring 2014 prompted Russia to annex Crimea and covertly support a pro-Moscow uprising in the east of the country.

BMI predicts that Bulgaria will spend USD618.4mn on defence in 2014. This is a reduction from the USD635.4mn that it spent in 2013. Although the years 2010-2013 showed a reduction in defence spending in Bulgaria, we expect spending to gradually increase up to 2018. We believe that Bulgaria will spend USD667mn annually on average between 2015 and 2018.

BMI View: We expect that Iran will increase its defence expenditure in 2014 by 7.1% in US dollar terms, bringing total spending to USD10.3bn or 2.2% of GDP. We acknowledge that the country's nuclear activities will remain a point of contention with the international community, but believe that ongoing talks between Iran and Western governments have the potential to de-escalate this issue. That said, should talks fail, and if Iran were thought to be approaching the point of successfully testing a nuclear weapon, we believe an Israeli or American strike on the country's nuclear facilities would become increasingly likely.

Today, Sentient Science announced they have reached a computational milestone in predicting the remaining use life of wind turbine gearboxes and other rotating mechanical components throughout North America. In the past six months Sentient has run 1,500,000 gearbox component and system computational tests on the University at Buffalo’s Center for Computational Research High Performance Computing Cluster. This infrastructure has allowed Sentient to scale their life extension solutions for wind turbine owners and other industrial systems. This is a significant number of computational tests, compared to traditional methods for O&M planning, including conditional-based maintenance and physical testing of critical components.

During Q214 Brazilian Defence Minister Celso Amorim toured Angola, Mozambique and South Africa with the aim of enhancing cooperation in areas such as cyber-security, military training and military intelligence. Concluding his visit to Mozambique, Defence Minister Amorim announced the donation of three ex-Brazilian Air Force Embraer EMB-312 Tucano trainer aircraft and possible financing of three Super Tucanos to boost the operational and combat capacity of the Mozambican armed forces. It was also announced that Brazil would dispatch a delegation to Mozambique to help develop naval bases and naval training facilities. The development of these defence ties signifies a concerted effort by Brazil to extend its soft power across the African continent.

We expect the UAE to spend up to AED90.8bn on defence in 2014. As with previous years since the beginning of this decade, we expect defence spending to continue to rise throughout the remainder of the forecast period until 2018. By 2018, we expect defence spending to reach AED113.3bn.

Speaking at the 14th Defence Services Asia summit held in Kuala Lumpur in April 2014, Singaporean Defence Minister Dr Eng Hen took the opportunity to emphasise the need for a new 'multipurpose' military which can tackle the increasing range of non-traditional security challenges currently facing the international community. Citing the ongoing search mission for the Malaysia Airlines jet believed to have crashed in the South Pacific as an example, Dr Eng sought to demonstrate the extent to which militaries now actively contribute to non-traditional areas. Singapore is leading multilateral efforts to enhance the military response to such non-traditional security threats.

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is now in a transitional period. After years of intensive operations in Afghanistan, the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste, the ADF now has an opportunity to regroup and take stock. Organisational changes are expected: the ADF aims to become a more flexible and mobile force, with a greater focus on amphibious operations as it shifts it strategic focus away from the Middle East. As the operational budget shrinks, more funding will be available for personnel and equipment. Most importantly, the new Abbott government will oversee a huge increase in the defence budget over the next decade, if it can stick to its pledge of spending 2% of GDP on defence by 2023-24. The government plans to increase the 2013-14 defence budget to AUD27.1bn, from AUD25.4bn in 2012-13, and to grow the budget sequentially over the next four years until 2017-18, when it plans to spend AUD34.8bn.
