Successful private sector participation in noncore defense activities
Defense entities are facing increasing complexity. While defense budgets are decreasing in real terms, the range of threats is widening. Managing the integration of technology and capabilities across land, sea, air, and space is ever more crucial. These challenges require an emphasis on core defense activities. Expanding private sector participation (PSP) in noncore defense services and assets is an option that improves focus, meets challenges, and frees up budgets for frontline activities.

Water supply for mining industry: The Chile case
Carlo Stella
Government agencies, water and wastewater utilities, and engineering and mining companies are seeking to optimize water supply, decrease water consumption, and recycle water needed for sustainable production of critical metals and minerals. Recently, Arthur D. Little (ADL) took a deep dive into mining in Chile and studied the actions the industry there took to address the country’s water scarcity issues. Other parts of the world struggle with similar obstacles and may find guidance in this Viewpoint useful to help overcome them.
