Abstract
Expanding on the conclusions of the first two parts in this series, several aspects of the further capability management process are examined in this article. After having assessed that the recent procurement decisions and the first steps towards a true capability have been prudently taken by the Hungarian Defence Forces, possible options for the way forward are considered and potential future steps proposed. The path towards a solid GBAD capability has been taken; now it will be essential to stay on track and prepare consequent and reasonable steps for the short- and medium-term future.
