The Ministry of Defense of Japan and the U.S. Department of Defense held their first working-level meeting to discuss strengthening the joint development and production system of defense equipment. During the first working-level meeting of DICAS (Japan-U.S. Defense Industry Cooperation, Acquisition, and Sustainment Regular Consultation), discussions on repairing U.S. Navy vessels at private facilities within Japan took place on the 11th.
U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel stated, “Ship repair is a critical element of deterrence.” Ambassador Emanuel, who attended the working-level meeting, expressed concern that new ship construction at U.S. shipyards is not proceeding, resulting in significant delays in ship maintenance and repair work. He then argued that maintaining U.S. Navy vessels in Japan instead of returning them to the U.S. would help maintain regional deterrence, emphasizing the importance of the Japan-U.S. alliance.
Furthermore, the Chief of Staff of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Admiral Shigeru Sakai, expressed his willingness to cooperate, stating at a press conference, “I believe that the maintenance of U.S. Navy vessels within Japan will have a positive impact on the U.S. Navy.”
The United States recently migrated its largest enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to AWS cloud. This system manages various resources, including parts and supplies, worth approximately 7.33 trillion yen. By migrating to the AWS cloud, the U.S. Navy has improved data visibility and availability, enabling more efficient financial reporting, budgeting, maintenance and repair logs, and advanced analytics.
The U.S. Navy's migration to the AWS cloud is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening deterrence, linked to the advancement of military technology. Using this case as an example, the U.S. Navy is sharing its cloud migration experience with other Department of Defense organizations and promoting IT modernization.
