防衛省、新興企業の先端技術活用へ新契約制度を導入

中小企業技術革新制度(SBIR)を活用し、無人航空機などの開発を公募

Quick Look

防衛省は10月2日より、新興企業の先端技術を導入するため「中小企業技術革新制度(SBIR)」を開始する。開発段階ごとの審査と経費支払いを導入し、資金繰りに課題を抱える企業の参入を促すことで、無人航空機や基地環境改善などの技術開発を加速させる狙いがある。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

防衛装備品の開発は数年単位を要し、プロジェクト完了後の支払いとなるケースが多かった。SBIRは総務省や厚生労働省で既に導入実績がある制度である。

防衛省は25日、無人航空機(UAV)など新興企業の先端技術を活用するため、新たな契約制度を導入し10月2日から公募を始めると発表した。開発計画の作成や実証といった段階ごとに審査を設け、その都度、必要経費を支払うのが特徴。資金繰りが厳しい新興企業に配慮することで、優れた技術や柔軟な発想を防衛装備品に取り込みたい考えだ。

陸自、無人機活用へ新組織 小泉防衛相「重要な能力」

導入するのは「中小企業技術革新制度(SBIR)」で、既に総務省や厚生労働省で実績がある。防衛省は公募する研究開発課題として(1)最大限国産の部品を使った低コストのUAV(2)補給倉庫の業務効率化と省人化(3)基地内の勤務環境改善に向けた航空機騒音の低減―を設定した。

SBIRでは、複数の企業と同時に契約し、提出された計画の進行に応じて経費を支払う。審査の過程で、より防衛省の要望に沿った企業に絞り込んでいく仕組みだ。防衛装備品の開発には数年単位を要し、費用の支払いはプロジェクト完了後となるケースが多かった。
