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

本研究的目的是分析1921年至1945年日本陆军科技研究的结构。主要目标是生物武器研发、化学武器生产等军事机密研究项目。在这个研究项目中，我们努力研究有关生物武器和化学武器研发计划的资料。在化学武器计划中，当陆军已经开发出新技术或完成某些化学物质的有效生产方法时。这些结果被转移到民间因素，也就是化学公司。这些过程被陆军的官方文件如秘密专利申请表所追踪。这种技术转让制度是政府和民间企业为开展新兴领域具有挑战性的研究而组成的研究联盟的前身。在日本的战争活动中，发现了重要的研究材料，即陆军医学院的研究。对这些报告的分析对进一步厘清日本生化武器项目具有重要意义。

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.
