This inevitably leads to a large capital expenditure of the Nation’s resources being allocated to fund the development of advanced military technology. This has the effect of channeling resources away for the civilian use, in the short term, but, ultimately, those advancements tend to lead more innovations to the domestic sector. There has been a rapidly emerging trend, since the end of the Cold War, for the development of Dual Use Technology (DUT) which can be adapted for both military and civilian use. This has resulted in economic growth over recent decades and appears set to continue. Chung Shan Institute Science &; Technology (CSIST) is the principle institute dedicated to military technology development in Taiwan. It is promoting the DUT approach by outsourcing development to civilian industries to ensure a cohesive co-operation approach and is being seen as a win-win situation for the two sectors. Most of Taiwan factories are small to medium size with research resource and capabilities being limited. By sharing resources and knowledge Companies can work together to build trust and co-operation. Further, by working with other Nations, the possibility exists for mutual collaborations in furthering the technology knowledge base and thereby strengthening alliances. This research uses a case study approach focusing on a military wireless engineering center with its outsource and transfer approach, obtain comprehensive understanding of the operations, conclusion and suggestion will be proposed to the parties working together and contribute to similar researches in the future.
