Major General Nguyen Dinh Hien: Implementing Resolution 3488-NQ/QUTW dated January 29, 2025 of the Central Military Commission, the Chemical Corps Party Committee has clearly identified: Developing science and technology, innovation and digital transformation is a strategic breakthrough, a key driving force, and a foundation to enhance the overall potential of the Corps in performing professional tasks in new, modern, diverse and complex conditions.

With the core role in ensuring chemical defense for the people's armed forces in the war to defend the Fatherland; preventing and combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; responding to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) and environmental incidents; overcoming the consequences of toxic chemicals after the war, the Chemical Corps cannot stand outside the wave of strong technological transformation. Promoting science and technology, innovation and modernization not only improves professional capacity but also contributes to building the Chemical Corps in the direction of "refined, compact, strong and modern", capable of meeting mission requirements in all situations.

Major General Nguyen Dinh Hien: In recent times, the Party Committee and the Command of the Corps have implemented many synchronous and drastic solutions. First of all, a system of unified directive documents from the Corps to agencies and units has been established. Since then, research and application of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation have been widely deployed in many fields, from training, exercises, combat readiness to responding to CBRN incidents, overcoming the consequences of post-war toxic chemicals and modernizing chemical defense equipment.

Some outstanding results include: Successful research and production of multi-purpose radiation measuring devices; rapid test kits for toxins and microorganisms; new generation, environmentally friendly disinfectants, decontamination agents, and sterilants; systems for monitoring, warning, and calculating radiation and chemical incidents; reconnaissance and monitoring equipment for radiation and environmental chemistry... In particular, many products have applied artificial intelligence (AI), big data (Big Data), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) to automate the measurement, analysis, and forecasting process, minimizing manual intervention, improving efficiency, and shortening operating time.

Notably, the development of specialized software and shared databases has helped speed up work processing, increase connectivity between units, while ensuring information security, minimizing administrative procedures and gradually moving towards perfecting e -Government in the Army.

Major General Nguyen Dinh Hien: We focus on investing in two main pillars: Technical infrastructure, technology and human resource development.

Regarding infrastructure, the Corps has been investing in equipping and upgrading laboratories, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) monitoring systems, technology and equipment for handling post-war chemical residues and handling toxic waste. Some modern digital technologies have been initially applied in monitoring, warning, commanding, operating, responding to and overcoming CBRN situations and environmental incidents. This is the initial foundation for a comprehensive digital transformation process in the specialized field, contributing to improving the proactiveness, accuracy and effectiveness of responding to and overcoming the consequences of CBRN incidents, disasters and environmental incidents.

Regarding human resources, although being a technical Corps with a high-quality human resource base, the training, fostering and improving the qualifications of cadres is always focused on, with a long-term and general strategy; including training leading experts in specialized fields and basic training and fostering so that each officer and soldier has digital skills, proficiently uses specialized software, masters modern equipment, and gradually adapts to the comprehensive digital environment. In addition to training in the Army and domestically, the Corps also sends cadres to study and research at prestigious and high-quality international academies, schools and organizations. At the same time, the Corps is researching and proposing appropriate remuneration mechanisms to attract and retain talents in the fields of science, technology and information technology.

Major General Nguyen Dinh Hien: In the coming years, the world situation will continue to evolve rapidly, complicatedly, and unpredictably; the risk of using and spreading weapons of mass destruction and CBRN agents will increase. In the country, the industrialization and modernization process will pose many new challenges, increasing the risk of CBRN incidents and toxic environmental incidents; post-war toxic chemicals still remain in some localities, negatively affecting the environment and socio-economic development... The above challenges require the Chemical Corps to proactively adapt, improve comprehensive capacity, promote the application and development of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation in a practical, sustainable and autonomous direction.

The Chemical Corps Party Committee has established a Steering Committee on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, and at the same time developed and issued a Plan for synchronous and unified implementation. The focus is on implementing the following basic groups of solutions:

Agencies and units proactively develop and issue plans to implement the Party Committee's Plan for each stage, setting out specific and clear goals and requirements, and implementation measures that must be synchronous, effective, and close to reality. In particular, it is necessary to identify breakthroughs in the development of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation as the top priority, strategic, and the foundation for modernizing and enhancing the potential of each unit in particular and the Corps in general. Build and launch emulation and learning movements on digital platforms to popularize and improve knowledge of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation; effectively implement the "Digital Education for the People" movement throughout the Corps.

In particular, continue to promote the application and mastery of advanced technology in improving, manufacturing, and modernizing chemical defense equipment in the direction of increasing features, increasing accuracy, suitable for the weather, operating environment and conditions of the country; with appropriate science and technology content, easy to use, convenient for maintenance and repair. Promote the exploitation and application of new technologies, core technologies, towards designing and manufacturing specialized equipment integrating high technology. Strengthen research and development of intelligent command and monitoring automation systems, meeting the requirements of combat and incident response in diverse and complex environments. Proactively advise and propose the Ministry of National Defense to increase investment in foreign technology transfer for domestic research and production.

Focus on investing in modern facilities and equipment for science and technology research units; continue to modernize specialized laboratories to perform specialized tasks of the Corps, apply advanced technology, build automatic CBRN monitoring and warning systems, serve the task of monitoring and promptly responding to incidents and disasters. Research, build and develop Data Centers and Smart Training Centers to improve the quality of training and exercises. Complete digital infrastructure in a modern and mobile direction; build a specialized database system of the Corps to meet the requirements of digital transformation...

. In particular, along with promoting training, fostering and selection, the work of planning, arranging, using and building a team of cadres towards improving quality, synchronization and balance between specialties is also considered important. The Corps will study and innovate incentive mechanisms and policies to encourage, attract and effectively use high-quality human resources; maximize the capacity of the team of scientific research cadres inside and outside the Corps.
