The China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) has said it will focus activities on civilian-military integration (CMI) in a bid to spur innovation and boost revenues.
In outlining its priorities for China’s 13th Five Year Plan (2016-20), CSIC said on 28 April that CMI, which aims to leverage commercial technologies for military applications (and vice versa), will support its efforts to advance capability.
Sun Bo, CSIC president, said specific areas of CMI focus would be power systems, electronic information, electrical equipment, underwater defence systems, and new materials. In the civilian sector, areas of focus will be to develop offshore engineering products, new energy, environmental protection products, and healthcare.
