In this paper, "a conceptual model of Reconnaissance-Strike-Logistics Complex(RSLC) in future warfare" is proposed. Basic idea of the RSLC model is to combine logistics and the pre-existing Reconnaissance-Strike Complex(RSC) through a C4 network system. That is, the RSLC model consists of reconnaissance, strike, logistics, and C4 network systems. The C4 network system creates new combat power by integrating all the other systems. The RSLC model generates three conceptual complex circles; the RSC, the SLC(Strke-Logistics Complex), and the RSLC circles. The RSC circles describes direct combat behaviors in the battlefield. On the other hand, the SLC circle indicates combat sustainment capabilities. The RSLC circle including the RSC and the SLC circles, can present a more complete combat process. There are two key advantages of the RSLC model. First of all, logistics is considered one of key combat components to form IDA(Information-Decision-Action) cycle for combat decision-making process more completely. Secondly, the capabilities of battlefield awareness which reconnaissance and war-net systems provide, can be applied not only to the strike system in the RSC circle, but also to the logistics system in the SLC circle. Thus, the RSLC model can maximize combat synergy effects by integrating the RSC and the SLC. With a similar logic, this paper develops "A Revised System of Systems with Logistics (RSSL)" which combines "A New system of Systems" and logistics. These tow models proposed here help explain several issues such as logistics environment in future warfare, MOE(Measure of Effectiveness( on logistics performance, and COA(Course of Actions) for decreasing mass and increasing velocity. In particular, velocity in logistics is emphasized.

This paper deals with the application of PRICE model in estimating the proper acquisition cost for weapon budgeting phase. The PRICE(Parametric Review of Information for Costing and Evaluation) Hardware model is a computerized method for deriving cost estimates of electronic and mechanical hardware assemblies and systems. The model can be used in obtaining not only initial cost estimates in conceptual phase, but also detailed cost estimates in budgeting phase depending on available historical and empirical data. We analyzed first step cost estimate parameters and derived cost equations using PRICe output dta. Using weight and complexity, We can find cost variation. Sensitivity analysis shows that cost increases exponentially as complexity increases exponentially as complexity increases. We estimated KAAV\`s (Korea Amphibious Assault Vehicle) production cost using the PRICE model and compare with engineering cost estimates which is based on actual production data submitted by the production company. The result shows that tow estimates are close within $\pm2%$ differences.

A transportation problem amy have multiple optimal solutions, if an optimal solution to the problem is degenerate. This study derives a condition, under which multiple degenerate optimal solutions exist, fro ma current degenerate optimal transportation tableau by utilizing the homogeneous equation obtained from the closed loops connecting degenerate basic variable and non-basic variables, and discusses a method of generating alternative degenerate optimal solutions and their associated transportation tableaus. Each degenerate optimal solution may not have the same range of feasibility in sensitivity analysis on supply and demand quantity due to different set of shadow prices which multiple degenerate solution have.

Many researcher working in logistics tried to define concept of the logistics and its arena to study. However, there has not been much improvement. Thus, it caused the delay in the progress of the logistics study. Most of the earlier definition of the logistics mainly considered from the point of Physical Distribution Management and Business Logistics. I proposed a new definition of the logistics and the area to research which reflecting the total of whole system and the functional areas of the logistics.

This research deals with the weapon system RAM which is the reliability, availability and maintainability for weapon systems. This weapon system RAM is one of very important factors because it is related to the life cycle cost and combat readiness of weapon systems. Therefore, in this research we introduce the weapon system RAM and analyze the problems of weapon system RAM management during system life cycle including acquisition period. Finally we suggest an alternative to improve the weapon system RAM in various agencies which are the department of defense and army headquarter level, etc., in the process of defense acquisition.

Designing high quality products and processes at a low cost is central technological and economic challenge to the engineer. The combination of engineering concepts and statistical implementations offered by Taguchi\`s off-line design technique has proven t be invaluable. By examining some deficiencies in designs from the Taguchi\`s highly fractional, orthogonal main effect plan based on orthogonal arrays, alternative method is proposed. The maximum resolution or the minimum aberration criterion is commonly used for selecting 2$^{n-m}$ fractional designs. We present new high resolution (low aberration) linear graphs to simplify the complexity of selecting designs with desirable statistical properties. The new linear graphs approach shows a substantial improvement over Taguchi\`s linear graphs and other related graphical methods for planning experiment. The new set of linear graphs will allow the experimenter to maintain the simple approach suggested by Taguchi while obtaining the best statistical properties of the resulting design such as minimum aberration as a by-product without dependency on complicated computational algorithm or additional statistical training.g.

Information technology has been made remarkable progress and most of computer systems are connected with internet over the world. We have not only advantages to access them easy, but also disadvantages to misuse information, abuse, crack, and damage privacy. We should have safeguards to preserve confidentiality, integrity and availability for our information system. Even tough the security is very important for the defense information system, we should not over limit users availability. BS7799, a British standard, is an evaluation criteria for information security management. In this paper we propose an audit model to manage and audit information security using control items of BS7799, which could be useful to mange the defence information system security. We standardize audit items, and classify them by levels, and degrees by using appropriate audit techniques / methods / processes.

Taguchi and VTA(variation Transmission Analysis) methods have been widely used recently as new methods for product design. In this study, Taguchi method using analysis of variance and VTA method using regression analysis are reviewed and compared with each other in terms of parameter design and tolerance design. In analysis of variance, variation of quality characteristics arises from noise factors, therefore the optimal levels of design factors are selected to minimize the effect of noise factors. n regression analysis, variation of quality characteristics arises from variation of each own design factors. As a method to reduce variation of these quality characteristics, sensitivity analysis was performed for each design factors. An example of calculating tolerance interval for the given defect rate in PPM is also introduced. Especially, the new method is suggested to increase the estimation accuracy of variation of quality characteristics through regression analysis.

To support cooperative work in various scenes by computer systems, functions of sharing personalization, observation and control are needed. Especially, in advanced cooperative work, people have various position so that sometimes one person needs to restrict behavior of another. In this paper, we describe representation of access restriction of hypermedia system, which is framework of CSCW(Computer-Supported Cooperative Works) system we developed and propose a way to go on working cooperatively with people, restricting others.
