Abstract
This paper aims to benchmark the United States' LRIP, the country's initial production policy, and provide a Korean version of such policy which reflects the circumstances of the country's weapon system research & development(R&D) and acquisition procedures. The research suggests measures to improve the country's initial production policy in a direction that the policy could execute two stage continuously: (1) employment test & evaluation(OT&E), conducted on prototypes during the development stage, and (2) field employment tests(FT), conducted on initial products during the production stage. In addition, the research provides an equation calculating the optimal number of initial test products to be produced, applying statistical theories of t-distribution. The research aims to be used a reference to calculate the optimal number of initial products to be produced for testing in order to improve future national defense acquisition systems and the stable R&D of weapons systems.
