General Director Jan-Olof Lind on FOI knew that Chinese CAE was the recipient of the license when he gave KTH right to negotiate. But he would have sanctioned layup say he is a misinterpretation.
Mission Review reveals tonight that FOI is involved in a new decoy approach – like the Saudi deal. Research collaborates with the prestigious engineering university KTH, who is negotiating with the dictatorship China on sensitive defense-related research.
Mission Review’ve read reports of the Swedish software Edges military functions, such as calculating the bomber and missile precipitate.
The ISP, the ISP says now that the software can be a functionality in a mass destruction programs.
Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, would allow China to take part of a software for calculating flight characteristics or aerodynamics, developed by the Swedish försvarsmyndigheten FOI (Swedish Defence Research Agency) to make fighter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen more combat capable and competitive.
Software is owned by FOI. But the authority has not wanted to be associated with a defense cooperation with China and therefore enlisted the aid of KTH.
It reveals Swedish Television program review mission in BBC1 tonight at the 20th
SVT reporters Joachim Dyfvermark and Sven Bergman spoke with anonymous sources and read the documents from government agencies – memoranda, minutes of meetings and emails. They reveal that the FOI tried to round the Swedish rules for defense cooperation with China.
The aim is that through the Royal Institute of Technology to establish a partnership with China regarding the Swedish software called Edge. Edge is not a weapon, but regarded as defense-related operations.
Already in 2009, reported researchers from FOI visiting Beijing to discuss how China could take part of the measurement program. The Chinese wanted to “buy into the Edge,” the Mission Review. Later that year, a Chinese delegation traveled to Stockholm and started negotiations on the deal.
But for FOI, it was tricky to cooperate with the dictatorship of the because the EU has an arms embargo on China. Both the export of arms, which defense-related products and military research from the EU to China’s illegal. While FOI’s relationship to the United States could be difficult, according to tonight’s SVT revealing.
FOI planned initially because to start a front companies, like the one used by the Saudi deal to give Saudi Arabia a dictatorship weapons factory. But those plans were stopped.
Instead, they put up an arrangement where KTH in 2012 was given the right to sublicense FOI software to the Chinese company, CAE, Chinese Aeronautical Establishment.
CAE is a research institute, but also subsidiary of China’s largest defense group Aviation Industries, Avic.
a minute of FOI in 2011 is particularly revealing. At a meeting on FOI in Stockholm, where their staff from the Department of Aerospace Engineering participates, presented layup with KTH.
” FOI intend to let KTH sublicense, a limited part of the Edge with a view to be able to cooperate with countries that FOI can not or will sign an agreement with t. example. China. This has the support of DG, Saab and FMV. ” So it is there.
The Chinese research representatives, however, wanted all Edge software, and for that reason is yet to be liked sign any contract with KTH. But KTH’ve sent more agreements proposed to China. By March in 2014.
the ISP, the ISP said in 2008 and 2912 have given the green light for FOI exports of software, but after SVT reporters presented new circumstances change is made.
Instead notes ISP now that Edge can provide a functionality in a mass destruction program and to be a product of dual-use (civil and military), also covered by the Swedish export rules.
In Mission Review rejects KTH President Peter Gudmundsson to cooperate with China on behalf of someone else.
– We will consider a partnership basis what we see can promote our research.
General Jan-Olof Lind on FOI knew that Chinese CAE was the recipient of the license when he KTH gave the right to negotiate with kinserna. The decision he took in 2012, it has also been approved by the Defence Forces, FMV and Gripen manufacturer itself – Saab.
In the letter to the Mission Review claims Lind that it is a misinterpretation among his associates that he would have sanctioned layup with KTH.
