Abstract Post-COVID, the renewed emphasis on indigenisation in India calls for a fresh, in-depth examination of the entire range of issues and policies pertaining to the development of a capable domestic base for the defence industry and technology. This study opens up the field of inquiry, first, by adapting the well-known Delphi method for the indigenous development and manufacture of bullet-proof jackets and then in trying to examine all the elements of the decision-making process—from framing requirements by the armed forces to final procurement by the government, through an elaborately structured, multi-stakeholder consultative process. The approach can possibly be tailored to examine more complex systems that require indigenisation.

提高国防本土化的有效性：防弹夹克的案例

摘要 在 COVID 之后，印度对本土化的重新强调要求对与发展强大的国内国防工业和技术基地有关的所有问题和政策进行全新的、深入的审查。这项研究开辟了探究领域，首先，通过将众所周知的德尔菲方法应用于防弹夹克的本土开发和制造，然后尝试检查决策过程的所有要素——从框架要求到政府通过精心设计的多方利益相关者协商程序最终采购武装部队。该方法可能会被调整以检查需要本土化的更复杂的系统。
