Abstract
Because required weapon systems in the planning stage exceed the extent of defense budget, we should consider the priorities of them in the programming and budget stage. The purpose of this paper is to find out the factors that affect the prioritization of required weapon systems limited by budget. For this purpose, we analyse statistically major 20 defense projects launched in 2014. We derived the reasons for prioritization through the pairwise comparisons and also extracted six representative factors through the Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA). The KMO was 0.779 and the total variance explained was 79.59%, Cronbach's Alpha was above 0.7 which means EFA was appropriate to accept. The significance of this paper is that influencing factors on prioritization was derived by the comparisons using the present weapon systems and people in charge of defense acquisition. The factors can be utilized in AHP or Delphi to determine the priority and ultimately contribute to rational judgement for the military strategy objectives within the limited resources.
