I sometimes feel that JMSDF is overconfident of their submarine technology and that they should need to be criticized to construct better defense strategy based on a wider view. JMSDF will get many things including insights into other people’s idea or situation, even if they fail the submarine deal.<br /><br />Not only JMSDF but also I sometimes need to be criticized.<br /><br />Regards<br />S<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-9383349548948974902015-09-14T10:23:07.263+10:002015-09-14T10:23:07.263+10:00Hi S

I think many Japanese companies in defense sector adopt Information Security Management System (ISMS) as follows:<br /><br />1) Definition of ISMS: “An information security management system (ISMS) is a set of policies concerned with information security management or IT related risks.” by Wikipedia.<br />2) Implementation status of ISMS in IT or defense companies: undisclosed, but surely implemented. <br />3) To establish and maintain effective ISMS: combination of ISMS common requirements and sector specific (ex. JSMDF, MHI, KHI) requirements will be recommended.<br />4) Problem of ISMS: expensive audit fee and establish/maintenance cost especially for tiny company (ex. 1000AUS$/one man-day (=one auditor-day), four-six man days is required for several tens company audit in one year).<br /><br />Regards<br />S<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-44629417786992586412015-09-05T17:06:27.265+10:002015-09-05T17:06:27.265+10:00Hi S [at September 5, 2015 10:36 AM]

Modular building will certainly be important in making the larger size Australian development of the Soryu. <br /><br />As you say Australia is used to modular building with the Collins.<br /><br />What may be best for Australia - if Japan is chosen - is a hybrid build. <br /><br />1. The new type submarine Steel could be made in Australia. <br /><br />2. The first Australian "Soryu" should be built in Kobe with Australian technicians and managers watching closely. <br /><br />3. Then rigourous testing of that submarine through to commissioning into the Australian Navy.<br /><br />4. Then the rest of the submarines - I would say 5 subs ( 2 to 6, in a six submarine class) should be built in Australia.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-25707899467513553772015-09-05T10:36:57.812+10:002015-09-05T10:36:57.812+10:00Hi Pete

CAD and modular building are adopted in Soryu submarine, and block building is adopted in Collins submarines. KHI illustrates difference between the two building [2].<br /><br />[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWB1SwOZujM “US newest class of attack Nuclear Super submarines USS Virginia (SSN 774) Engineering Feat”, you can watch modular building at around 14m26s-16m00s.<br />[2]http://www.khi.co.jp/rd/tech/166/nj166tr10.html Kawasaki Heavy Industry Technical Report, No. 166, Fig2 Block building and modular building<br />Block building and modular building.
