“…This situation introduces features that extend beyond market logic and competitiveness is assessed, more than in any other industry, by criteria based on performance and technological superiority capable of guaranteeing some strategic advantage over other countries. The defense industry is a very specific component of the economy, characterized by the major involvement of public authorities and the search for high technological prowess [1][2][3].…”

The defense industry has unique features involving national sovereignty. Despite the characteristics that led to the separation of the military and civil spheres, since the 1990s, the number of dual-use projects has been growing. Taking into account that Portugal is a small European country, this paper analyzes the relationships within the defense industry in order to determine how university–industry–government relationships (the Triple Helix) function in this specific industry. The analysis of 145 projects of the Portuguese Ministry of Defense led to the following conclusions: first, academia was represented in more than 90% of the projects, and 40% of those projects have a dual-use application; second, there is a predominance of knowledge production, dissemination and application, for which the university’s institutional sphere is essential and third, the Triple Helix system evolves into a network of relationships that involve projects with both civil and military applications.

“…(3) When θ 1 < ε 1 < 0 and 0 < θ 2 < ε 2 in Situation 3, or 0 < θ 1 < ε 1 and θ 2 < ε 2 < 0 in Situation 7, the side with the positive additional income will get the ESS, which is shown in Table 6 and Fig.1 (3) and (7). We use Situation 3 as the representative, which shows that (0,0) and (1,1) are the saddle points, (1,0) is the unstable point, and (0,1) is the ESS. In this situation, Enterprise 1 receives the negative revenue from the CMI and the high cost of investment, and the minimum additional income of Enterprise 2 is positive.…”

“…(4) When θ 1 < 0 < ε 1 and θ 2 < 0 < ε 2 , in Situation 5, Table 7 and Fig. 1 (5) shows that (0,1) and (1,0) are the ESS of the system (S), (x * , y * ) is the saddle point, (0,0) and (1,1) are the unstable points. For both sides, the revenue from the CMI is higher than the cost of the investment but less than the profit from free-riding.…”

“…In China, the implementation of Civil-Military Integration (CMI) in military enterprises have become an important concern for scholars and policy-makers recently, which means to use defense technology and facilities to make civilian products. Military enterprises were in a long-term self-sufficient system [1], which makes them have the issues of redundant personnel and low efficient productivity [2]. They have lost development vitality because of the shortage of competitors in the same market.…”

How to provide financial support efficiently is becoming an essential way for military enterprises to take the strategy of Civil-Military Integration (CMI) in China. In this paper, we used the evolutionary game theory to build a model for military enterprises to choose the approach of the CMI with financial support. After derivation and simulation of the model, the results showed that the profit and cost from the CMI or the financial support changes could cause the different evolutionary stable states (ESS). Setting the financial support degree in a relevant range could encourage firms to participate in the CMI and reduce the spillover. Besides, the initial proportion of military enterprises that choose the CMI could affect and predict the trend of future development, which provides a reference for policy-makers.

“…Finally, the production of technology used in both economic and defense areas is referred to as mix. Although technology can be used for both sides [18], the final product needs to be implemented across different product lines and serve different areas [19]. The military production process needs advanced research, and production begins after the completion of the design [20].…”

Conversion of Dual-Use Technology: A Differential Game Analysis under the Civil-Military Integration

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Civil-military integration enables the symmetry development of dual-use technologies in the defense and civilian areas. In this paper, we used stochastic differential game theory to build theoretical models of the dual-use technology conversion between a military firm and a civilian firm. The models include three directions of dual-use technology conversion, namely, spin-off, spin-in, and mix. In particular, we incorporate the dynamic development of dual-use technology into the research framework. Our results show that the order of the Pareto optimality results is mix, spin-in, spin-out, including the best effort, the highest revenue, and the most technology value-added. The results also indicate that: (1) Some random interference factors can affect the transfer efforts, such as the coefficient of technological innovation capability and cost coefficients. (2) The military subsidies factor is an inventive mechanism that can promote dual-use transfer from the civilian firm to the military. (3) The military enterprise only earns more than the civilian firm in spin-in. (4) The growth of models in the dual-use technology conversion process faces increased technology uncertainty.
