Strategic and International Studies and the International Security program and director of the Defense Industrial initiatives group that focuses on defense acquisition and increasingly on what i call the defense trade or the cooperation in the acquisition of the deal with our allies and partners. Im going to introduce the panel and maybe kick off the question and answer session with the group. Our panel is divided into two folks that are presenting and will speak to the presentations and other issues. The topic for the panel is finding opportunities to precipitate the u. S. Defense r d cooperation and we have a strong panel to present. On my left recently completed service in the last several months completed surface as the assistant secretary oassistant e Research Engineering at the u. S. Department of defense. He was the chief Technology Officer of the u. S. Department of defense and advisor to the secretary on all matters relating to Research Engineering until january of 2017. He has responsibility for a range of complex topics involving open systems architecture and he has more than 28 years of government and industry experience at the defense agency. In january of 2018 he will Begin Service as executive director and chief operating officer at the institute of electronics engineers. To his left we have the leading expert on the field of defense acquisition Defense Industry and Weapons Systems requirements planning. He served in the army for 31 years after graduating from the korea military academy. He was the chief of several important sections including the Weapon Systems Planning Section of the headquarters chiefs of staff defense Acquisition Policy section and forced policy section of the ministry of national defense. Hes participated in advanced research on a number of critical topics as a member of the Advisory Committee for the joint chiefs of staff the republic of korea and has been awarded the National Security married in 2003. He earned hi his masters his mae science in Nuclear Engineering from the university of washington. She needs the responsible parties with the Defense Acquisition Program and the committees regarding research and development. He joined in 2006 and was appointed as directo director oe Acquisition Policy position. He graduated from the National University held a masters degree from the university of wisconsin madison and to his left mr. Tommy ross who served the last several years and the last administration of the Deputy Assistant secretary of defense for Security Cooperation prior to his time at the department of defense he was a staff member in congress for a number of years including as a defensdefensive advisor to the e majority leader senator harry reid and legislative director for congressman david price and before that, the majority leader tom daschle. Hes a graduate at and i am now going to turn to the two presenters. I believe that you are first in presenting to us. It is a pleasure to be here today to discuss opportunities to facilitate cooperation between the United States and the public of korea. This is a particular opportune time to be discussing security operations. Recent Ballistic Missile tests have increased concern over the threatthreat posed by the northn regime, to our allies in the public of korea, to our friends and partners in the asiapacific region, to the u. S. And south korean interests and even potentially to the u. S. Homeland. The over 23,000 u. S. Personnel serving in south korea provides the strongest possible evidence of u. S. Commitment to the security of our korean allies in these unsettled times. While much of the focus and current attention has been on recent provocations, the commitment of the u. S. Alliance with the republic of korea is deep and sustained and is focused on addressing todays concerns and the longterm needs of the alliance. One of the strongest ways to continue to strengthen our sustained partnership is through the pursuit of common goals in Technology Development and through Bilateral Research and development cooperation. This is shaped by the proliferation of sophisticated military capabilities by the convergence of leadingedge technologies driving new commercial capabilities with those driving emergency Defense Applications and by the global proliferation of sophisticated Technical Expertise and Manufacturing Capabilities this has introduced significant challenges to traditional Defense Development approaches because the increasingly Competitive Technology environment will demand Faster Technology adoption and increased pace of operational experimentation and prototyping and to avert the frontline and particularly a demonstrated ability to adapt, evolve and enhance occupational capabilities after initial deployment. Of the United States has attempted to respond to the challenge strategically through a continuing dialogue regarding what has been referred to as an offset strategy. The development, validation and ultimate fielding of new capabilities intended to preserve and extend the technological advantage of u. S. Forces and our allies. These are likely to include new systems capable of operating at an extended range, novel system concepts to create advantage on land, in the air, on and under the sea and in space and will certainly leverage advances in robotics, Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems to provide operational advantage. The United States deputy secretary and under secretary for Acquisition Technology and logistics have both emphasized the criticality of innovation, experimentation and new technology in recent remarks and both are working to align Technology Development planning with modernization objectives and to accelerate these efforts. U. S. Military leadership civilian and uniformed have been emphasizing these same things and u. S. Industrial leaders have emphasized that they are today working on delivering the capabilities envisioned in the third offset discussion. I see a very similar in size and south korean technical planning where to focus on the creation c. s to align industrial structures and accelerate new Technology Initiatives to shape the hightechnology systems that will define tomorrows National Security capability and capaci capacity. The United States had a great emphasis on capturing the potential National Security from all sources reaching out to the nontraditional suppliers, innovation is commercial enterprises and Small Business for new and disruptive ideas. Initiatives like the defense of the portfolio initiative is being explored, the open laboratory initiatives of the dod service leftbrace r. Engaging new partners and exploring new mechanisms for collaboration. The department has been accelerating its uptake of cuttingedge technology through basic research engagements with top universities across the United States and across the world. In korea, i again see a very similar effect to engage the economy to foster innovation, identify new technical opportunities and create new industrial capacity in the small and medium enterprise. In my visits to the korean universities, i have seen a growing interest in entrepreneurship, a strong desire to find new ways to bring technical capabilities to the realization and a great interest in the type of technical challenges that are relevant to start strengthening the security. Both of the nations are also exploring ways to use the defensdefense of their nation as economic drivers with an intact beyond the sector building skills and capacity industries that will increase competitiveness in the markets as well. As we go forward we see significant opportunities to Grow Research and development cooperation. There are currently strong areas where the National Investment priorities very closely align such as the strong mutual interest in advanced robotics and advanced computing and Semi Conductor technologies and advanced human machine interfaces and particular reference to the recent efforts being explored by the ministry of trade and industry and the ministry of science and ict. A very strong interest in exploring common topics associated with the safety and the Safety Climate of the systems. I believe these areas offer excellent opportunities for collaborative planning of research and Development Objectives for the researcher to researcher collaboration between the u. S. And korean technologies. Its coordinating the opportunity to collaborate with existing resources. The organization an is resulting rule of the undersecretary of Defense Research and engineering may provide an engine to drive the International Science and technology cooperation. Into growing the mutual capabilities. Its for preserving peace. Thank you. Is my great honor and privilege for me to speak on the defense. [inaudible] for giving me this opportunity i will begin with a brief outline and join antiwar speak the prospects. The History Center again in the 1960s all of these can be categorized as learning to advance the countries. This is more than 30 behind a. Japan and china are forming the second group and germany. It is in classified in two ways they implementation of the project, implementation belonging to this. The second part is the foundation built up a. The fiscal reduction overcoming. Lets take a look at this history there are only a few cases of the Development Program in the 1980s and 90s and in 20003 at a number began to be implemented in every year. Its for the Information Exchange conducted together. Its around 3 of the total investment for the economic development. There is an increasing trend. The. They are doing most of the work regarding the infrastructure, theres more cooperation between the two countries [inaudible] it should be extended to include cooperation in the developed. Other cooperative parties are the defense, but their focus is on more Information Exchange. There have been no cases and most applied research both been driven by the governments. The infrastructure is still weak and has room for improvement. The key point here is the reality of the case. There are three reasons i can think of that contribute. The United States may be more interested in the development of the market and the cost of the savings. Also the Technological Capabilities between the two countries and they will propose and discuss the joint r d. This is more so for the Weapon System development. There are good reasons to believe in our bright future. First, the capability is improving and they are making an investment in r d. This chart shows the Global Status in the last year and shows a member of scientists. The size indicates the amount of the expenditure for each count country. You can see it is located at the top of and the amount of expenditure. Also theres a lot of experien experience. It may act as a positive when developing the markets. All of these factors are in the joint or are rnd. One other reason as mentioned in a previous presentation there are defense technologies that the countries want to develop. They include the Technology Basis that are not different from those in the strategy they are almost the same. In addition, the defense technologies are having difficulty in developing and can be a target of the joint r d such as Technology Sectors of International Cooperation required. We will be able to find the common interest in all of these areas for the joint or entity to. But the concerns can be a driving force especially when both have difficulties and in this instance it will be a strong option to consider. The goal should be reinforced or encouraged to take a more active role we need a system where both sides participate in the spectrum should be diversified in the System Development then to realize this prospect we need specific items to consider. When considering the icons for the defense r d, the top candidates will be the postindustrial evolution technologies and Weapon Systems. These items conform to one that encourages on the common items were interest. These technologies can be a good candidate for the joint r d and respond to north korea and cyber threats. The United States may have an interest in this area as well because it requires cooperation in the international domain. Cooperation regarding the defense of the data and technologies can be resource for us while for example they do not have the capability of the effectiveness of. The United States may be able to utilize with joint r d. It may also help with the promotion of the joint r d and to satisfy their relationship and of the need to help create more opportunities. So far, we have this approach in the joint r d and in this slide i listed some specifics of the technology that can be considered a. Of the autonomous situation, Cyber Technology on Machine Learning and so on. I believe these technologies could be on the agenda between the two countries. In conclusion they are recommended to overcome the Budget Constraints and orchids. There is a potential of growing technological power among the developing countries and in this context a very moment in the opportunities for the usa in the future. This is the end of my presentation. Thank you. [applause] i want to give you an opportunity. We heard a lot about the strategic imperative for the cooperation between the republic of korea and the United States, and we also heard about are somf the opportunities that are there and some of the barriers and complications that maybe half limited this in the past and that what needs to be overcome to significantly deepen the relationship going forward. I would be interested in your thoughts about the opportunities that you see and how they could be integrated under the systems considering to be purchased. [inaudible] translator i have an agreement, and however, i have some differing thoughts that we came from the same copper and i have a different flavor to what weve discussed so far. In the joint operation to common interest is technology and also joint governance those are some of the barriers that he had mentioned. I would like to differ otherwise respectfully and as to the common interest i think this is a rapidly changing area as to the u. S. Foreignpolicy is when it comes to acquisitions more about limiting Technology Even if it were to analyze however we know in this past changing environment and also the programs that the u. S. Has i believe there have been changes in the policies with regards to this area. We try to manage all of them in the military installations but its also changing there have been more of an open platform and more exchanges in collaboration with the private industry participants and as such research and Development Systems are not only limited to the people, but now we have more people from the private industry and also with the addition of the industry of International Collaboration that is taking place more intensely so as far as the common interest is concerned, that barrier is getting lower and lower into the technical i dont believe there is as much of a Technology Gap and the two allies with the Industrial Revolution i think we have to be mindful of many of the challenges that have taken place for example usage of the big data. Who has the data and the ability to analyze, for example the movement of some marines from north korea its not about technology anymore, its more of a creative solution to mine the data that we have already and as to the movements that we already have much of the data on into the joint governance weve had good discussions and weve identified 40 plus areas for joint cooperation a
