The project began with the collection of user requirements, followed by design and <br />analysis of vehicle dynamics and protection performance. Upon meeting the specified criteria, <br />subsystems were designed, developed, and assembled into a complete vehicle. Verification <br />involved specialized field tests and functional evaluations to ensure the vehicle met defined <br />operational standards. The results confirmed that the 4x4 multi-purpose wheeled armored <br />vehicle fulfilled mission requirements, exhibiting modern and efficient performance. It proved <br />to be well-suited for rugged terrains, equipped with user-friendly features, smooth suspension, <br />capable of transporting personnel and achieving desired speeds as specified by the users.</p> 2024-10-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Defence Technology Academic Journal https://sc01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/dtaj/article/view/240758 Export Assessment Guidelines of Thai Security Products to Foreign Countries 2024-02-08T07:43:49+07:00 Bodin Suntud bodin.s@dti.or.th <p>This research aims to investigate and analyze strategic factors influencing the export of Thailand's security products to foreign markets. It compiles a comprehensive database detailing the opportunities and demands of potential target countries for importing these products and provides guidelines and recommendations for relevant agencies. Employing a qualitative research method, this study introduces nine strategic factors influencing arms export decisions. These factors were applied to a thorough analysis of nine countries, offering a framework for assessing the strategic ramifications of arms export decisions. The study is structured into three main sections. The first section provides an overview of strategic environments, including economic, political, technological ownership, social factors, and international relations. The second section analyzes the strategic environments and opportunities influencing export potential, considering the specific needs and industry base of target countries. The third section presents a summary table of prioritization and recommendations of defense products suitable for the target countries. The research indicates that the Philippines are the best-prepared and most suitable export destination among Southeast Asian nations to export, while Myanmar and Cambodia are difficult destinations and are the least prepared and suitable choices. This document serves as a valuable database for agencies involved in defense industry exports, providing strategic decisions and actions related to the export of defense products. It focuses on countries with established diplomatic relations with Thailand and a moderate to low level of domestic defense industrial development, especially in Southeast Asia, aiming to enhance export potential and international cooperation in the defense sector.</p> 2024-12-04T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Defence Technology Academic Journal
