In Korea, the birth rate is rapidly decreasing in the 21st century. Accordingly, if the current military service and personnel system are maintained, it will be difficult to maintain even the number of the Army reduced to 365,000. Nevertheless, the Army has a mission to protect the country from external aggression as the last bastion of national defense. To fulfill this mission, there are ways to improve the military service and personnel system, but there are ways to maximize individual combat power to create one warrior that is worth a hundred and overcome the insufficient number of troops through superior mobility to the enemy. This study studied how to solve the shortage of troops as well as strengthen combat power through a combined combat system that can maximize individual combat power and mobility by applying the latter concept, and further analyzed the future battle environment and suggested the developmental direction of the army's combined combat system.

With the rapid development of advanced science and technology including the 4th industrial revolution, the future battlefield environment is evolving at a rapid pace. In order to actively respond to issues such as reduction of military resources and shortening of service period, and to emphasize the realization of human-centered values, the Ministry of National Defense is re-establishing the role of the Army in accordance with the defense reform and is promoting the Warrior Platform, a next-generation individual combat system. In this paper, we intend to present the optimal warrior platform architecture suitable for the Korean Army by realizing the concept of future ground operations and analyzing overseas cases. We analyze the essential abilities required of individual combatants and the abilities required for each unit type, and specifically presents a plan for integration and linkage of warrior platform equipment. We also propose an efficient business promotion direction by presenting the data flow and power connection diagram between the devices that need integration and interworking.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic slot allocation scheme to improve the slot utilization rate in tactical multi-hop networks in which the channel condition varies due to node movements. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the fact that nodes that are more than three hops apart can use the same slot simultaneously. The frame is divided into two parts: the control period and the data period. To know the available slot information within two-hop distance, the node exchanges a slot allocation information with one-hop neighbors during the control period. The node can get the information on idle slots that are not used within two-hop distance but assigned already to other nodes that are more than three-hop away. The identified idle slot can be used by the node, which increases the slot utilization rate. The performance analysis results of the proposed scheme show that it increases the slot utilization rate sufficiently despite the overhead of the control period in the multi-hop networks of the future soldier system.

In the performance analysis of a weapon system, the combat effectiveness is difficult to go beyond the conceptual level in the early stages of development. This is especially true in the case of new concept of weapon system that has never existed before. In this study, with the aim of analyzing the effectiveness of small personal guided weapons, the design of the warhead and the detonation test were carried out and the results were analyzed. Afterwards, trajectory of fragments were calculated from the results, and it is applied to the anti-personnel effectiveness logic which is a part of combat simulation tool. At the same time, delivery accuracy logic was constructed from Monte-Carlo simulation with 6-DOF trajectory model. Subsequent simulated experiments were conducted with test scenarios to confirm the simulation logic reflecting the results of the warhead detonation tests for verifying the simulation approach of weapon systems, and it was confirmed that the simulation logic incorporating the results of the warhead detonation tests functioned properly.

The Ministry of National Defense is re-establishing the role of the Army in accordance with the defense reform and is promoting the Warrior Platform, a next-generation individual combat system. The Warrior Platform project is divided into three stages and is being promoted. In the first stage, the quality and performance of individual items are improved, in the second stage, items between system development are integrated, and in the third stage, the combat capability is maximized by developing an integrated unit weapon system. In this paper, detailed sub-items for the five essential required competencies (survival, lethality, mobility, sustainability, Communication) that are considered for building an effective warrior platform are presented. We also present a plan that can be used to prepare a specific master plan for the Army's Warrior Platform project by using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) and selecting the priority of the five required capabilities and detailed sub-items for different unit types. As a result of analyzing the priorities of the four types of units with different mission types, we find that there are differences for each unit. These results are expected to be used as useful reference materials for setting the future direction for the development of warrior platform.

야간 근접전투의 원활한 수행을 위하여 전장감시 및 정밀 조준사격을 위한 조준경 개발은 매우 중요하다. 영상증폭장비 및 열상장비의 특성을 고려한 무기체계 개발은 지속적으로 추진되어야 할 것이다. 그리고 현재 기술수준을 고려시 개인화기 조준경은 무게가 가볍고 부피가 작으며 운용성면에서 월등히 유리한 영상증폭방식이 야간전용의 단일기능으로 개발이 요구되며, 악천후시 탐지능력이 우수하나 무겁고 부피가 크며 전력소모가 많은 열상장비는 공용화가 조준경 및 관측경 등으로 개발이 요구된다.

Ammunition is an integral element of a weapon systems and in calculating fighting strength. The Korea Army utilizes the basic load (B/L) concept to supply ammunition smoothly. The required supply rate (RSR) is the basis of a B/L that is estimated from real combat data that includes a troop's mission and operation terrain. The current RSR is based on Korean War data and the sample mean has some problems in applications to modern combat. Therefore, this study used Korea Combat Training Center (KCTC) data that is similar to real combat to estimate rifle ammunition RSR. We used a quantile of truncated Weibull distribution to estimate rifle ammunition RSR considering that rifle ammunition consumption data in KCTC is truncated. As a result, we obtained a rifle ammunition RSR which covers most ammunition consumption by reflecting the individual consumption of rifle ammunition.

미래 NCW의 핵심은 전투상황에 대한 정보를 데이터 특성에 따라 얼마나 신속 정확하게 공유하느냐가 중요하다. 이를 위해 대한민국 육군은 다양한 개인병사부터 합참에 이르기까지 각종 상황인식과 지휘통제에 필요한 데이터를 수집, 종합, 타격하는 체계를 구축하고 있다. 하지만, 통신장비와 전장단말기가 분리되어 있음에 따라 운용상 많은 제한사항이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 통신장비와 전장단말기를 통합하는 형태의 통합형 단말기가 강구되고 있으며, 이는 개인병사체계 및 무인지상감시 센서 등에서 개념 연구가 되어지고 있다. 하지만, 가장 중요한 부분인 데이터 송수신에 대한 최적의 방안이 미정립되어 있음에 따라 본 연구에서는 전송지연시간 단축 및 재전송 알고리즘 개선 등을 통한 효율적인 전송방안을 제안하고, 이를 시험을 통해 검증함으로써 미래 통합형 전장단말기의 데이터 전송관련 설계 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Monitoring for the physiological state of a solider is essential to the realization of individual combat system. Despite all efforts over the last decades, there is no report to point out the optimal location of the wearable biosensors considering both monitoring accuracy and operational robustness. In response, we quantitatively measure body temperature and heartrate from 34 body parts using 2 kinds of biosensor arrays, each of which consists of a thermocouple(TC) sensor and either a photoplethysmography(PPG) sensor or an electrocardiography(ECG) sensor. The optimal location is determined by scoring each body part in terms of signal intensity, convenience in use, placement durability, and activity impedance. The measurement leads to finding the optimal location of wearable biosensor arrays. Thumb and chest are identified as best body parts for TC/PPG sensors and TC/ECG sensors, respectively. The findings will contribute to the successful development of individual combat system.
