- The Japanese Ministry of Defense and the US Department of Defense held their first working group meeting to discuss strengthening the joint development and production system for defense equipment, and they discussed the possibility of repairing US Navy ships in Japan.
- The United States views ship repair as a key element in strengthening deterrence, and aims to maintain regional deterrence through the maintenance of US ships in Japan.
- The United States has also migrated its largest-scale legacy systems to AWS Cloud to enhance data visibility and availability in order to strengthen deterrence in conjunction with military technological advancement.
The Japanese Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense held their first working group meeting to discuss strengthening joint development and production systems for defense equipment. The meeting, the first working group of the Defense Industrial Cooperation Agreement (DICAS), discussed repairing U.S. Navy ships at civilian facilities in Japan on November 11th.
“Ship repair is a key element of deterrence,” said U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel. Participating in the working group, Emanuel expressed concerns that the U.S. Navy is experiencing significant delays in ship maintenance and repair as no new shipbuilding is taking place at U.S. shipyards. He argued that keeping U.S. ships in Japan for maintenance instead of returning them to the United States would maintain deterrence in the region, emphasizing the importance of U.S.-Japan cooperation.
“I believe that maintaining U.S. Navy ships in Japan will have a positive impact on the U.S. Navy,” said Chief of Staff of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Admiral Hiroshi Sakai, expressing his willingness to cooperate in a press conference.
The United States recently migrated its largest enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to the AWS cloud. This system manages various resources, including parts and materials, valued at approximately 7.33 trillion yen. The U.S. Navy, by migrating to the AWS cloud, has enhanced data visibility and availability, enabling it to more efficiently perform financial reporting, budgeting, maintenance and repair logging, and advanced analytics.
The U.S. Navy's migration to the AWS cloud is expected to play a significant role in strengthening deterrence, linked to the advancement of military technology. The U.S. Navy is sharing its cloud migration experience with other Department of Defense-related organizations and pursuing IT-based modernization through this case.
