Abstract

This article considers what could be a fundamental development in the defence industrial base (DIB) in the US, namely the increased involvement of commercial technology companies in military-related business. After an outline of the dynamics and longer-term post-Cold War developments in the international arms industry, it investigates recent changes in the Pentagon's attitudes and policies to gain access to new technologies from the commercial and academic sectors. It also considers the military, technological and political drivers that have led to these technologies being sought from commercial companies for military use. It then considers the recent engagement of the major commercial technology companies in activities for the military sector and what is driving them to take up military contracts. Finally, it considers what these developments imply for the dynamics of the arms industry and the relationships within the DIB and the military industrial complex (MIC).

新技术与美国MIC
本文考虑了美国国防工业基础(DIB)的一个根本性发展,即商业技术公司越来越多地参与军事相关业务。在概述了国际武器工业在冷战后的动态和长期发展之后,它调查了五角大楼最近在从商业和学术部门获得新技术方面的态度和政策的变化。它还考虑了导致这些技术被商业公司用于军事用途的军事、技术和政治驱动因素。然后,它考虑了最近主要商业技术公司参与军事部门活动的情况,以及促使它们接受军事合同的原因。最后,它考虑了这些事态发展对军火工业的动态和DIB和军事工业联合体(MIC)内部的关系意味着什么。
