Abstract

As a concept that commercial parts are applied to weapon systems, Commercial Off-The-Shelf(COTS) was not well-received at a time when defense technology led commercial technology. However, the exponential growth of IT and the rapid expansion of commercial industry have made possible to make the cost low through mass production system within a short period, and the benefit of cost and schedule has been highlighted, triggering commercial parts to be applied to weapon systems. In order for commercial technology to be used in defense weapon systems, its performance in an extremely restricted condition of combat environment should be guaranteed. Generally, commercial parts have fundamental limitation in that the design and production requirements for commercial parts are different from those for the military. Therefore, it is required to confirm that commercial parts can be used for weapon systems through the approach of system engineering. This study presents the process tailored to characteristics of marine defense system and the method of analyzing its restricted condition in order to apply COTS to marine defense system. The study classifies the restricted conditions into general and special environments, suggests detailed process, and suggests useful tools to select appropriate items adapted to these restricted conditions in the commercial market. Lastly, as a case study for COTS applied to marine defense system, the study finds out the analysis results of application of COTS and restricted conditions of the warship electric system.

무기체계에 상용부품을 적용하는 개념인 COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf)는 국방기술이 민수기술을 선도하던 시기에 크게 호응을 얻지 못했다. 그러나 IT기술의 급속한 성장과 민수산업의 빠른 확장은 짧은 시간에 저가의 대량생산 체계를 갖추게 되었고, 비용과 일정의 장점이 부각되면서 민수분야에 생산되는 부품들이 무기체계에 적용되었다. 민수기술이 국방 무기체계에 사용되기 위해서는 전투 환경의 극한 제약사항에서 성능을 보장할 수 있어야 한다. 일반적으로 상용부품은 설계 및 생산에 대한 요구조건이 군용과 비교하여 다르기 때문에 근본적인 한계가 있다. 따라서, 상용부품이 무기체계에 사용되기 위해서는 시스템공학적 접근을 통한 확인이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 무기체계에 COTS를 적용하기 위한 방안으로 해양 무기체계 특성에 적합한 프로세스와 제약사항 분석방안을 제시하였다. 해양 무기체계의 제약사항을 일반 환경 및 특수 환경 제약사항으로 구분하고 세부적인 프로세스를 제시하였으며, 시장에서 이러한 제약사항에 적합한 제품을 선택할 때 유용한 도구를 제시하였다. 마지막으로 COTS의 해양 무기체계 적용을 위한 사례연구로 전투함 전기시스템의 COTS 적용 및 제약사항 분석 결과를 확인하였다.
