The Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency has adopted 2017 research projects, including the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, in the 14 "Security Technology Research Promotion System" that subsidizes research applicable to military technology.The research budget increased 2016 times from 6 million yen in 110 to 18.3 billion yen, but the number of applications from universities decreased by 1 from the previous year to 22 and none was adopted.

　According to the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency, a total of 2017 applications were submitted in 104.The breakdown is 27 from public research institutes, 55 from private companies, and 22 from universities.Compared to the previous year, the number of universities decreased, but the number of companies increased 5.5 times and the number of public research institutes increased 2.5 times.The decrease in applications from universities is believed to be due to the Science Council of Japan issuing a statement in March against conducting research and development that would lead to the development of military technology at the university.

　Of these, 5 were adopted by public research institutes and 9 by companies, for a total of 14 cases.This is the first time that a university has not entered since the system started in 2015.However, four universities will cooperate with the research projects adopted.

　According to the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency, "There are fields in basic research that require large-scale testing in collaboration with multiple institutions," and in FY2017, a large-scale research project that will be subsidized up to a total of 5 billion yen within five years. It was set.Of the 20 cases adopted, 14 are applicable.
The large-scale research project of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is basic research for hypersonic flight of missiles and aircraft that exceed five times the speed of sound, and grasps the characteristics of engine combustion and airflow from wind tunnel test data.
