PROJECT SUMMARYThis project investigates the social implications of three technology transfers between the United States and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). Particularly, it examines how those military technologies, the Arrow missile defense shield, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems have shaped Israeli security policy and social and political attitudes toward conflict. Intellectual MeritsSuch research will illuminate how military planning and conceptions of security are not simply defined by political objectives, but are constantly shaped and constrained by technology. In addition, analyzing the interaction between military weapons systems, security objectives, and social/engineering values provides a more complete understanding of how security doctrines are constructed, negotiated, and maintained over time.Broader Impacts The broader impact of such a study includes a better understanding of the actors andagents that constitute military technology transfers. In addition, such an inquiry helpsreveal the different cultural approaches between the United States and Israel involved inengineering military weapons systems. The project will interest those who study science and technology policy as well as those interested in international relations.

本项目调查美国和以色列国防军(IDF)之间三项技术转让的社会影响。特别是，它审查了这些军事技术、箭导弹防御系统、联合攻击战斗机(JSF)和无人机(UAV)系统如何塑造以色列的安全政策以及对冲突的社会和政治态度。智力价值这类研究将阐明军事规划和安全概念如何不是简单地由政治目标定义的，而是不断受到技术的塑造和制约。此外，分析军事武器系统、安全目标和社会/工程价值之间的相互作用，可以更全面地理解安全理论是如何随着时间的推移而构建、谈判和维护的。广泛影响此类研究的更广泛的影响包括更好地理解构成军事技术转让的行为者和代理人。此外，这样的调查有助于揭示美国和以色列在制造军事武器系统方面的不同文化方式。该项目将使研究科学和技术政策的人以及对国际关系感兴趣的人感兴趣。
