Analysis on the Structure of Science and Technology in Japanese Imperial Army

本文旨在分析1921 - 1945年日本陆军科技研究的结构。主要目标是生物武器研发和化学武器生产等属于军事机密的研究项目。在这个研究项目中，努力研究与生物武器和化学武器研究与发展计划有关的材料。在化学武器计划中，当陆军开发了新技术或完成了某些化学品的有效生产方式时。这些成果被转移到民间因素，即化学公司。这些过程被军队的官方文件所追踪，比如秘密的专利申请表。这种技术转让制度是政府和民间企业为在新兴领域开展具有挑战性的研究而成立的研究联盟的前身。关于日本的生物武器活动，发现了重要的研究资料，即陆军医学大学的研究。这些报告的分析对于进一步澄清日本的BW计划具有重要意义。

The aim of this study is to analyze the structure of the research on science and technology in Japanese Army since 1921 to 1945. Main targets are research projects classified as military secret like biological weapon R&D and chemical weapon production. In this research project, efforts have been given to research materials concerning to BW and CW R&D programs.In case of chemical weapon program, when the Army had developed the new technology or completed the effective way of production of some chemicals. those results were transferred to civilian factors, that is chemical firms. These processes were traced by official documents of the Army like secrete patent application forms. This technology transfer system was the ancestor of the Research Union formed by government and civil firms to do carry out the challenging research in the emerging field.On Japanese BW activities, discovery of important research material, The Research by the Army Medical College, was done. The analysis of these repots is argent and essential for clarify Japanese BW project further.
