TOKYO -- Japanese defense officials plan to hold regular talks with academia on sharing research in dual-use technology, Nikkei has learned, as the traditional wall between the two sides begins to break down.
The Defense Ministry and Japan Self-Defense Forces look to create the framework for this dialogue, the first of its kind in Japan, by the end of this fiscal year in March. They aim to explore ways to apply the latest research results in academia to a wider range of force operations and defense equipment R&D.
