Dual Use: Vom Pentagon nach Wassenaar-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- updating 98.8.20/1 Dual Use: Vom Pentagon nach Wassenaar Während der Mega/trend in den InformationsTechnologien - was zu militärischen Zwecken konstruiert ward, landet irgendwann im Zivilbereich - seit den 60er Jahren ungebrochen weitergeht, ist eine gegenläufige Bewegung aufgetaucht. Das Pentagon, bis dato Hauptträger der Kosten für Grundlagenforschung im IT-Bereich, will nunmehr von der zivilen Fortent/wicklung profitieren. Zum Zweck der Kostensenkung wird erhöhte Produktion von sogenannten "dual use technologies" eingemahnt, die sowohl militärisch als auch zivil verwendbar sind. Den Export dieser "dual use technologies" wiederum regelt das Wassenaar Arrangement, auf dessen knapp bemessenes Personal allerhand Arbeit zukommen wird. -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- Pentagon calls for dual-use technologies by George Leopold, EE Times August 19, 1998 (10:47 A.M.) WASHINGTON In a bid to increase its use of commercial technologies on the battlefield, the Pentagon will appeal to the high-tech industry to provide dual-use technologies ranging from networks to sensors. The Defense Department said on Monday that it will reach out to high-tech companies during a pair of October conferences in Arlington, Va., and Los Angeles. The meetings, scheduled for Oct. 22 and 29, respectively, will describe Defense Department acquisition programs in eight categories: information systems and technology; distributed training systems; affordable sensors; medical technologies; environmental monitoring; fuel efficiency and advanced propulsion; aircraft upgrades; and advanced structural systems for high-speed ships. "Many of the technologies being actively pursued by industry to meet the demands of the commercial marketplace will also provide a military advantage on the battlefield," said Dan Petonito, program manager of the Defense Department's Dual Use Science & Technology Program. "The department must increase its reliance on technologies developed commercially. In many cases we simply do not have a choice." ... Two earlier efforts resulted in the Pentagon's spending more than $500 million for dual-use technology development. Petonito said he expects a big increase in Defense Department spending for dual-use technologies since Congress has directed the military to devote 15 percent of its applied research budget to dual-use technologies by 2001. To attract commercial suppliers, the Pentagon has offered incentives like sharing half of technology development costs, greater access to technology and streamlined acquisition regulations.
