The Defence White Paper 2016 emphasizes collaboration with which sectors?

• A. Hospitality and tourism industries
• B. Automotive manufacturing
• C. Defence and science and technology industries
• D. Agriculture

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how the Defence White Paper frames partnerships to deliver capability: it highlights working with the defence sector together with the science and technology community to drive innovation, research, and the development of new capabilities. The 2016 White Paper stresses that progress in defence comes from close collaboration with defence industry and the science and technology sector—universities, researchers, and tech firms—to develop and adopt advanced technologies, improve procurement, and sustain sovereign capability. Other industries like hospitality, automotive manufacturing, or agriculture aren’t identified as the primary partners for defence capability in this document, so they don’t match the emphasis of the White Paper.
