It has accumulated capabilities over decades of funding and experimentation that dwarf other countries’ efforts, and the incentives to innovate in the United States are not easily replicable elsewhere. The unique US political system favors substitution of technology for labor, openness to new ideas, and competition among decentralized organizations to solve national security challenges. The constant worrying that the United States is losing its defense innovation advantages is simply part of the politics that keep the United States far, far ahead of its potential rivals. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9bp5v4z7 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Gholz, Eugene Sapolsky, Harvey M. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7vp2x155 Israel and Singapore are both countries with small populations and no strategic depth, and both see technology as a crucial force multiplier when it comes to national security. Israel, however, has been much more successful than Singapore in developing a range of indigenous military-technological innovations. The reasons are both geostrategic and cultural. Israel faces a much more looming and imminent threat which demands more military-technological innovation. Moreover, Israel’s informal and anti-hierarchical society is much more supportive than Singapore’s when it comes to risk-taking and experimentation. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7vp2x155 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Bitzinger, Richard https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7p85x8w9 How do countries around the world approach and engage in defense innovation? Are there common patterns, catalysts, and enabling factors that identify and explain why some countries are successful while others struggle? This year’s edition of research briefs from the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation Study of Innovation and Technology in China project examines these questions. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7p85x8w9 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Cheung, Tai Ming https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7c75995r The preceding brief in the series provided an analytical framework for examining a country’s defense innovation system and the factors that shape innovation outcomes. This brief applies the framework to examine the factors at work in the Chinese defense innovation system. There are many reasons explaining the successful transformation of the Chinese defense innovation system from an ossified dinosaur in the 1990s to an increasingly credible military technological competitor on the global stage at the end of the 2010s. China’s approach to defense innovation has undergone considerable evolution since it launched a full-fledged modernization of its defense science, technology, and industrial (DSTI) system in the late 1990s. Some of these changes mirror what has taken place within the civilian sector, but there is also much that is different because of the specific dynamics of the defense arena. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7c75995r Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Cheung, Tai Ming https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wb1f7tf India has expended a great deal of energy and resources to set up a vast defense economy to innovate and produce state-of-the-art weapon systems for use by the armed forces. However, the performance of the defense economy has been largely suboptimal, leading to poor self-reliancein arms procurement and heavy dependence on foreign sources for meeting the key defense requirements. An examination of the causes of poor performance exhibits a number of  hortcomings related to India’s both 'hard' and 'soft' innovation capacities. Inefficiency and lack of reforms of the main research and development (R&D) and manufacturing players, meager R&D and procurement budgets, poor management of human resources, lack of strong support from the political leadership, and a weak acquisition system, leave India’s defense innovation in a poor state. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wb1f7tf Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Behera, Laxman Kumar https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6rr4j9cv Innovation in the Russian defense industry has drawn significant international attention since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state of the nation address of March 1, 2018. While the first part of the address covered the usual ground of planned economic policies, the second part was an extended presentation of Russian defense industry achievements. What Putin left outwas as important as what he highlighted, and provides a clear picture of Russia’s prioritization of radical over incremental innovation, sometimes to the detriment of current battlefield readiness. This research brief discusses Russia’s successes and failures in modernizing its weapons systems since 2000. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6rr4j9cv Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Kashin, Vasily https://escholarship.org/uc/item/66n8s5br Will the Chinese military succeed in advancing new frontiers of defense innovation? China has already emerged as a powerhouse in artificial intelligence and quantum technologies. The continued advances in these dual-use technologies may be leveraged for military applications pursuant to a national strategy of military-civil fusion. At this point, the trajectory of technological developments is uncertain, and considerable challenges remain to the actualization of deeper fusion of China’s defense and commercial sectors. However, if successful, China’s ambitions to lead in these strategic technologies could enable it to pioneer new paradigms of military power. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/66n8s5br Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Kania, Elsa B. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4t07267h The brief reflects on the evolution of the Israeli approach to military innovation and describes its proclivities, in order to enable comparative analysis and a more generalizable analytical framework. It first describes the structural factors that account for the Israeli fixation on the military-industrial complex and defense innovation; then it outlines the social-organizational factors, which have enabled and conditioned its realization. It concludes with an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the Israeli approach and a review of recent trends. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4t07267h Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Adamsky, Dmitry https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3wt3613v The central focus in this brief is to make sense of different approaches to defense innovation by determining whether there are general patterns and characteristics that offer insights into questions such as why some states are able to pursue innovation at a faster rate or more advanced level than others, and the essential ingredients for successful innovation. This brief seeks to develop an understanding of the relationship between defense innovation and military innovation, and more specifically the linkages and interaction between the defense innovation system and the military establishment. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3wt3613v Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Cheung, Tai Ming Mahnken, Thomas G. Ross, Andrew L. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1hw200dw Defense innovation is the transformation of ideas and knowledge into new or improved products, processes, and services for military and dual-use applications. It refers primarily to organizations and activities associated with the defense and dual-use civil-military science, technology, and industrial base. Included at this level are, for instance, changes in planning, programming, budgeting, research, development, acquisition and other business processes. The period between the two world wars offers a rich set of cases for examining defense innovation. These include the development of armored warfare, strategic bombing, close air support, carrier aviation, amphibious warfare, and radio and radar. Whereas others have focused on military innovation in the interwar period, the focus of this brief is on defense innovation in general, andthe development of tanks in Britain, the United States, and Germany in particular. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1hw200dw Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Mahnken, Thomas G. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1958g0f9 The international community has consistently underestimated North Korean nuclear and missile capabilities. How has an economically impoverished, technologically backward, and internationally isolated state been able to establish robust and increasingly competent nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, especially since the mid-2010s? Has North Korea predominantly relied on foreign sources of technology or are its nuclear and missile programs the result of domestic effort? Even when technologies have been borrowed, a detailed analysis of the evolution of the programs suggests sustained domestic investment has proven crucial. The result is a far-flung and large weapons of mass destruction (WMD) infrastructure. Any negotiations over the program must take the extent of this infrastructure into account and consider the challenges of how to inspect, verify, and limit them, including through repurposing these capabilities to civilian uses. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1958g0f9 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Haggard, Stephan Cheung, Tai Ming https://escholarship.org/uc/item/170219mp This brief provides an analytical framework to identify, categorize, and assess the diverse array of factors that are involved in the pursuit of defense innovation, as viewed through an innovation ecosystem prism. Defense innovation systems are engaged in highly complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive work. Many of the insights from this framework are derived from an extensive examination into the state of innovation in the contemporary Chinese defense science, technology, andindustrial system, examined in more detail in Brief 2018-3 in this series. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/170219mp Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Cheung, Tai Ming https://escholarship.org/uc/item/037138xt The defense innovation systems (DIS) in France and Sweden have longstanding traditions of domestic innovation and high self-reliance, but they differ greatly in how they have achieved these ambitions. France has almost complete self-reliance in defense technology and close government control of activities contributing to defense innovation and regarding the defense industry. In France, there is considerable state ownership, and foreign ownership is blocked. In contrast, Sweden has delimited its breadth of sovereign technology development since the 1990s, and now expresses three "essential security interests": fighter aircraft, underwater capability, and cyber. This research brief describes what characterizes the present defense innovation systems in these countries, discusses their similarities and differences, and points out factors that have led to their success. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/037138xt Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Lundmark, Martin https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9xs4q8rn SITC Bulletin Analysis: University of Strathclyde and CALT Launch Joint Laboratory https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9xs4q8rn Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 REED, Lauren https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9x38n9b3 SITC Bulletin Analysis: Additive Manufacturing in China: Threats, Opportunities, and Developments (Part I) https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9x38n9b3 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 ANDERSON, Eric https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9fv8r5jx SITC Bulletin Analysis: China's Second Ballistic Missile Defense Test: A Search for Strategic Stability https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9fv8r5jx Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 POLLPETER, Kevin https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7h12120m SITC Bulletin Analysis: Additive Manufacturing in China: Aviation and Aerospace Applications (Part 2) https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7h12120m Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 ANDERSON, Eric https://escholarship.org/uc/item/67x812nh SITC Bulletin Analysis: China's Dream Army https://escholarship.org/uc/item/67x812nh Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 MILLER, Joseph https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2tr126jk SITC Bulletin Analysis: Supercomputing and Energy in China: How Investment in HPC Affects Oil Security https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2tr126jk Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 WILSON, Jordan https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2js0c5r8 SITC Bulletin Analysis: China's Space Robotic Arms Programs https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2js0c5r8 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 POLLPETER, Kevin https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1839q9q8 SITC Bulletin Analysis: The Tianhe-2 Supercomputer: Less than Meets the Eye? https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1839q9q8 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 TSAY, Brian https://escholarship.org/uc/item/06k0x5q5 SITC Bulletin Analysis: Competition and Cooperation: The Story Behind the Y-20 Maiden Flight https://escholarship.org/uc/item/06k0x5q5 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 LU, Hanlu https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9140j98k As tensions mount between China and the United States in the western Pacific, countering China’s growing anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities has been a major focus of the Pentagon’s current Third Offset Strategy, which is designed to leverage US advantages in new and emerging critical technology areas. The brief explores the implications of a push for cutting-edge military technology capabilties for both the US defense industry and the global arms industry and concludes that the United States might have to go it alone, at least in the short term. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9140j98k Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 BITZINGER, Richard https://escholarship.org/uc/item/84v3d66k Critical reforms are taking place in China’s defense industry. New long-term plans and institutional arrangements, an emphasis on turnkey technologies and civil-military integration (CMI), research institute system reforms, and capital market access will help the Chinese defense industry move to higher-endinnovation and away from reliance on foreign technology transfers. Themain implication for the United States is an increased ability for China to forge an independent development path that will be more resistant to US competitive strategies. The pace and intensity of Chinese defense industry development represents a long-term challenge to US superiority in military technology. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/84v3d66k Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 CHEUNG, Tai Ming ANDERSON, Eric YANG, Fan https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5wh2v87n Chinese defense analysts have widely divergent views on the rationale and intentions behind the US Third Offset Strategy. Some characterize it as a trap to induce China and Russia into an arms race or a hoax designed by the United States to cover its weaknesses. Others see it as a competitive strategy to seek technological superiority that will safeguard the security of the United States and its regional allies and partners. This brief presents a Chinese perspective on the strategy and its motivations, and offers some possible Chinese responses as China upgrades its defense technological capabilities. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5wh2v87n Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 FAN, Gaoyue https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5n80302d With the US military’s technological edge eroding, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has embarked on a path to renew its superiority through the implementation of its Third Offset Strategy. Implementationwill require a vibrant and innovative industrial base; however, external forces are actively shaping the US defense industrial base and limiting its capabilities. This brief explores some of these forces―including continued budgetary pressure, downward trends in research investment, a growing regulatory burden, and a reluctance to embrace globalization―and offers suggestions for a course of action for policymakers. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5n80302d Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 LUCYSHYN, William RIGILANO, John https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5f30512q Department of Defense concerns over an eroding technological and capabilityadvantage have spurred the development of the Third Offset Strategy to focus investments on areas of greatest US competitive advantage. However, flat defense budgets and rising operations and maintenance costs will continue to constrain procurement and research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) spending within the US defense budget over the near and medium term. Later-stage RDT&E for the technological maturation of weapons systems and platforms in development will be more impacted. This brief outlines US defense budgetary trends for the overall defense budget and for RDT&E spending, highlights areas of particularrisk, and describes the potential impacts on US defense technological innovation. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5f30512q Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 BLAKELEY, Katherine https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4x89j4n1 This brief examines the nature and extentof maritime competition between the United States and China and what enduring advantages and disadvantages each possesses, yielding insights for US strategy going forward. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4x89j4n1 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 CLARK, Bryan WILSON, Jordan https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4s99s9rs This research brief examines strategic competition between China and the United States in the fields of missiles, space, and counterspace. In particular, it looks at Chinese military advances in anti-ship missile (ASM), space, and counterspace technologies and the response of the US military to these developments. China and the United States find themselves in a security dilemma characterized by a competition that could easily turn into an arms race. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4s99s9rs Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 POLLPETER, Kevin https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4j31w315 Introduction: The Emergence of Direct US‒China Defense Technological Competition https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4j31w315 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 CHEUNG, Tai Ming https://escholarship.org/uc/item/43m5m3gp How do Chinese decision-makers and strategists view the United States todayas a military strategic competitor especially in light of the US Third Offset Strategy? This brief examines the nature, dynamics, and direction of intensifying US–China military strategic technology competition and how the Third Offset Strategy may influence implementation of Chinese strategies and plans for long-termdevelopment of its military technological and war-fighting capabilities. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/43m5m3gp Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 CHEUNG, Tai Ming https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3pk902hm The Trump administration has prioritized economic policy—particularly trade with China. This emphasis is appropriate, given the extraordinary relative gains China has made in recent decades and the gigantic bilateral trade imbalance it has with the United States. Trade binds the two nations together. To some extent the imbalance reflects their complementarity, butit has also introduced unhealthy asymmetric financial dependencies. More fundamentally, it has enabled a steady transfer of knowledge that has allowedChina to substantially close the technology gap with the United States. Despite remaining much poorer overall, China is mobilizing its vast savings towards strategic projects. In some areas, it is now a near-peer rival. Advanced manufacturing is becoming a new theatre of superpower competition. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3pk902hm Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 SNELDER, Julian https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3nx3n18x T he United States and China are engaged in an intensifying struggle for relative power, geopolitical influence, and positional advantage within East Asia and beyond. The military dimension of this bilateral competition has focused on the effectiveness of US conventional force projection capabilitiesversus the effectiveness of Chinese conventional anti-access and area denial (A2/AD) capabilities. As the back-and-forth between the rivals continues to evolve, emerging technologies such as those associated with the US Third Offset Strategy could significantly change the dynamics. It is difficult, however, to predict which side will gain and which will lose. The brief presents key factors to consider when assessing the long-term effects of these new technologies. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3nx3n18x Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 MONTGOMERY, Evan Braden https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2pq268gz As the United States and China continue their strategic competition fornew and emerging technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and othermachine learning concepts have emerged as key enablers for both commercialand defense applications. This research brief presents AI R&D as a case study to build an analytical framework and sixmodels for understanding interactions between key players in the China–US competition. The models demonstrate the broad range of activities thatChinese planners utilize to pursue strategic objectives in AI and other emergingtechnologies. From domestic R&D to formal espionage, the models contextualize the complex interactions within this competition, providing a framework to forecast and analyze the coming decades of cooperation and conflict. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2pq268gz Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 ALDERMAN, Daniel RAY, Jonathan https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2dh5c1nh The development of the US Third Offset Strategy has been closely watched by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian defense industry, and Russian academics and government agencies. Although Russia has active technology development programs comparable to those associated with the Third Offset Strategy, the Russian authorities are paying close attention to what effects US breakthroughs might have on strategic, especially nuclear, stability. In light of worsening relations with the West, Russia seems to be reconsidering its previous model of defense industry cooperation with China. Joining efforts at this stage may be seen by the two countries as the only way to prevent the United States from gaining a decisive military and technological advantage. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2dh5c1nh Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 KASHIN, Vasily https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0754362r The concept of long-term peacetime competition between great powers isdeeply rooted in history. This brief offers a framework for thinking about afamily of peacetime competitive strategies. It begins by describing the conceptand provides four approaches to competitive strategy: denial, cost imposition,attacking a competitor’s strategy, and attacking a competitor’s political system.It then explores the criteria that strategists and policymakers should consider informulation of a competitive strategy. It concludes with some thoughts on how toevaluate the success of such a strategy and how the United States measures up. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0754362r Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 MAHNKEN, Thomas https://escholarship.org/uc/item/00p6c0v8 Given bilateral tensions and the importance of airpower to national defense, has long-term strategiccompetition between the United States and China in the military aviation sector emerged? This brief evaluates US and Chinese military aviation through three factors that shed light on the degree and nature of strategic competition: resource allocations, targeted platform development, and airpower employment concepts. While China has been competing with the United States for decades, China has only recently begun to drive US decisions. Cost-imposing strategies may not favor the United States, so innovation and technological developments in military aviation should focus on how to thwart China’s ability to achieve its military objectives. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/00p6c0v8 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000 MASTRO, Oriana Skylar CHASE, Michael https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9vb3c01t China’s Nuclear Weapons Program and the Chinese Research, Development, and Acquisition System https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9vb3c01t Mon, 23 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000 CHASE, Michael S.

First, it focuses on the role of public and private players pivotal to the country’s space directions, and the context in which they have operated. Second, it sets out the main institutional and legal changes they have helped bring about. Finally, third, it lays out some implications that bear upon other space powers like China and the United States. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9462k2xv Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000 PEKKANEN, Saadia M. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8z89p4s8 In the wake of major domestic and international changes, most especially the end of the Cold War and 9/11 for all, but additionally the collapse of the asset bubble in Japan and the transition from military authoritarianism to democratization in the ROK and Taiwan, all of the countries in question saw sharply divided domestic coalitions pressing for often diametrically opposed courses in national security and foreign policy. This brief begins by noting the limits of classical realist interpretations of international relations in Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific. It then addresses the importance of ‘comprehensive security’ as a driver for all of the countries in question. Finally, it examines the broad domestic clashes over foreign and security policy in each of four key democracies in the region and closes with a few general observations about the salience of regional domestic politics. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8z89p4s8 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000 PEMPEL, T.J. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wj0p7vr China’s recent assertiveness in the South China Seas is a harbinger of things to come. Beijing’s seapower project and the enormous resources it has enjoyed have opened up new strategic vistas for Chinese leaders and military commanders. With larger and more capable seagoing forces at its disposal, Beijing is well positioned to fashion sophisticated strategies that will be more effective and equally difficult to counter. While such strategies do not—yet—portend the fundamental reordering of maritime Southeast Asia, they will likely yield incremental dividends that advance China’s larger aims at sea. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wj0p7vr Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000 YOSHIHARA, Toshi https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5s5173w8 This brief examines the capacity of China to challenge America as a technology innovator. It assumes that the balance of innovation capacity matters for strategic strength in the long haul. Absent a fuller analysis of this assumption, this brief makes some ad hoc observations about the possible relationship. The analysis treats innovation as the successful commercialization (or strategic military application) of a technology change. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5s5173w8 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000 COWHEY, Peter
