Future battlefield domains are expanding to ground, sea, air, space, and cyber, so future military operations are expected to be carried out simultaneously and complexly in various battlefield domains. In addition, the application of convergence technologies that create innovations in all fields of economy, society, and defense, such as artificial intelligence, IoT, and big data, is being promoted. However, since the current Korean military C4I system manages warfighting function DBs in one DB server, the efficiency of combat performance is reduced utilization and distribution speed of data and operation response time. To solve this problem, research is needed on how to apply the 4th industrial revolution technologies such as AI, IoT, 5G, big data, and cloud to the Korean military C4I system, but research on this is insufficient. Therefore, this paper analyzes the problems of the current Korean military C4I system and proposes to apply the 4th industrial revolution technology in terms of operational mission, network and data link, computing environment, cyber operation, interoperability and interlocking capabilities.

In 2017, the U.S. DARPA coined 'mosaic warfare' as a new way of warfighting. According to the Timothy Grayson, director of DARPA's Strategic Technologies Office, mosaic warfare is a "system of system" approach to warfghting designed around compatible "tiles" of capabilities, rather than uniquely shaped "puzzle pieces" that must be fitted into a specific slot in a battle plan in order for it to work. Prior to cover mosaic warfare theory and recent development, it deals analyze its background and several premises for better understanding. The U.S. DoD officials might acknowledge the current its forces vulnerability to the China's A2/AD assets. Furthermore, the U.S. seeks to complete military superiority even in other nation's territorial domains including sea and air. Given its rapid combat restoration capability and less manpower casualty, the U.S. would be able to ready to endure war of attrition that requires massive resources. The core concept of mosaic warfare is a "decision centric warfare". To embody this idea, it create adaptability for U.S. forces and complexity or uncertainty for the enemy through the rapid composition and recomposition of a more disag g reg ated U.S. military force using human command and machine control. This allows providing more options to friendly forces and collapse adversary's OODA loop eventually. Adaptable kill web, composable force packages, A.I., and context-centric C3 architecture are crucial elements to implement and carry out mosaic warfare. Recently, CSBA showed an compelling assessment of mosaic warfare simulation. In this wargame, there was a significant differences between traditional and mosaic teams. Mosaic team was able to mount more simultaneous actions, creating additional complexity to adversaries and overwhelming their decision-making with less friendly force's human casualty. It increase the speed of the U.S. force's decision-making, enabling commanders to better employ tempo. Consequently, this article finds out and suggests implications for Korea armed forces. First of all, it needs to examine and develop 'mosaic warfare' in terms of our security circumstance. In response to future warfare, reviewing overall force structure and architecture is required which is able to compose force element regardless domain. In regards to insufficient defense resources and budget, "choice" and "concentration" are also essential. It needs to have eyes on the neighboring countries' development of future war concept carefully.

The e-navigation has been being developed in IMO is a sort of strategy to provide user-oriented services for safe navigation and environmental protection based on the architecture and its related services complying with the user needs. At NAV $57^{th}$ meeting in 2011, the overarching e-navigation architecture was approved which represent overall relationship only between onboard and ashore elements, so more detail technical architecture for each element should be developed for implementation in view of services and systems. Considering the continuous and iterative verification of e-navigation development process required by IMO, the relationship and traceability should be took in consideration between the outcome of e-navigation process and the element of the architecture. In this paper, we have surveyed literarily the user needs, result of gap analysis and practical solutions to address them and defined the architecture elements and their relationship considering the three kinds of views of DoDAF(Architecture Framework) of US department of Defence, in result, proposed the e-navigation shipboard technical architecture.

Indium Antimonide(InSb)는 $3{\sim}5\;{\mu}m$대 적외선 감지영역에서 기존 HgCdTe(MCT)를 대체할 물질로 각광받고 있다. 1970년대부터군사적 용도로 미국, 이스라엘 등 일부 선진국에서 연구되기 시작했으며,이온주입, MOCVD, MBE 등 다양한 공정을 통해 제작되어 왔다. InSb 적외선 감지소자는 $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$대에서 HgCdTe와 성능은 대등한데 반해, 기판의 대면적화와 저렴한 가격, 우주공간 및 야전에서 소자 동작의안정성 등으로 InSb적외선 감지기는 냉각형 고성능 적외선 감지영역에서 HgCdTe를 대체해 가고 있다. 하지만 InSb는 77 K에서 0.225eV의 작은 밴드갭을 갖고 있기 때문에 누설전류로 인한 성능저하가 고질적인문제로 대두되었고, 이를 해결하기 위한 고품질 절연막 연구가 InSb적외선 수광 소자 연구의 주요이슈 중 하나가 되어왔다. 그 동안 PECVD, photo-CVD, anodic oxidation 등의 공정을 이용하여 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$, 양극산화막(anodic oxide) 등 다양한 절연막에 대한 연구가 진행되었고[1,2], 절연막과 반도체 사이 계면에서의 열확산을 억제하여 계면트랩밀도를 최소화하기 위한 공정개발이 이루어졌다[3]. 하지만 InSb 적외선 감지기술은 국방 및 우주개발의 핵심기술중 하나로 그 기술의 이전이 엄격히 통제되고 있으며, 현재도 미국과 이스라엘, 일본, 영국 등 일부 선진국 만이 기술을 확보하고 있고, 국내의 경우 연구가 매우 취약한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 InSb 적외선 감지기의 암전류를 제어하기 위한 낮은 계면트랩밀도를 갖는 절연막 증착 공정을 찾고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 n형 (100) InSb 기판 ($n=0.2{\sim}0.85{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$ @ 77K)에 PECVD를 이용하여 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ 등을 증착하고 절연막으로서 이들의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. $SiO_2$는 160, 200, $240^{\circ}C$에서 $Si_3N_4$는 200, $300^{\circ}C$에서 증착하였다. Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM) 사진으로 확인한 결과, 모든 샘플에서표면거칠기가 ~2 nm의 평탄한 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. Capacitance-Voltage 측정(77K)을 통해 절연막 특성을 평가하였다. $SiO_2$와 $Si_3N_4$ 모두에서 온도가 증가할수록 벌크트랩밀도가 감소하는 경향을 볼 수 있었는데, 이는 고온에서 증착할 수록 박막 내의 결함이 감소했음을 의미한다. 반면계면트랩밀도는 온도가 증가함에 따라, 1011 eV-1cm-2 대에서 $10^{12}eV^{-1}cm^{-2}$ 대로 증가하였는데, 이는 고온에서 증착할 수 록 InSb 표면에서의 결함은 증가하였음을의미한다. 암전류에 큰 영향을 주는 것은 계면트랩밀도 이므로, $SiO_2$와 $Si_3N_4$ 모두 $200^{\circ}C$이하의 저온에서 증착시켜야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The Korean military supplies industry tends to become limited in terms of its development to specific areas in line with strategic promotion policies of the local private direct industrial site. However, the relation between base and small cluster is getting lower of the local industrial site. In this study, information related to authorized test reports for munitions was collected through the military quality information system and subjected to social network analysis(SNA). SNA was performed through the relationships among defense quality assurance agencies, test institutions, contracts and cooperative firms through UCINET's Two-Mode Network. In the field of weapon systems, the median technology industry, and the test analysis dependent are high in Seoul, so the analysis revealed that strengthening the infrastructure for test analysis is needed. Also, it was deemed necessary for government-driven political support. Besides, the field support system was efficiently utilizing a relatively local test analysis. It was analyzed that they are overcoming the regional boundaries of small clusters by strategically changing their contract and cooperative firms' status. The research found some spatial inconsistencies between base and small clusters in the military supplies industry, and it was judged that a political suggestion was needed.

Weapon systems have been developed with high technology electronic equipment due to technology growth. In addition, the capital, operational and maintenance costs of weapon systems have all increased. However, cost of operation and maintenance for weapon systems has been decreased relatively compared to the increased capital cost of weapon systems. Therefore, the defense industry needs to research the life cycle cost of weapon systems that have high operational and maintenance costs. This paper focuses on maintenance equipment for the operation and maintenance of weapon systems. Recently, it seems that the weapon systems that have periodic calibration with maintenance equipment are valid. The equipment requires periodic calibration by the manufacturer to check its own validation. Basically, customers demand high reliability devices from foreign companies that have qualified in the global market. Therefore, the tools need to be calibrated overseas. In other words, weapon systems are not available when the equipment has to be calibrated overseas because the systems require validation with valid maintenance equipment. A purpose of this paper is to compare the loss costs that arise from the calibration of the equipment overseas and the purchasing cost of the tools. Finally, the research shows the number of equipment that customers need to minimize the cost. This research will help to improve the efficiency of operation of weapon systems and solve the problems associated with the need for maintenance overseas.

We describe the improvement of insulation performance and the prevention of electrolyte leakage in a single cell in order to prevent the fuming phenomenon caused by leakage of electrolyte in a lithium secondary battery in a submerged weapon (torpedo) operated in Korea. A torpedo using lithium secondary battery as a main power source (propulsion battery) can induce the heat and fuming phenomenon, which makes it inconvenient for naval equipment operation in Korea. In the simulation test, the electrolyte of some battery cells leaked in the battery pack unit, leading to a short circuit between the main power circuit and the terminal tab of the high voltage part. We analyzed the characteristics and mechanism of the lithium secondary battery during this heat generation and fuming phenomenon. In order to prevent leakage of the electrolyte in the lithium secondary battery, the design was improved via fundamental (terminal tap enhancement) and complementary (insulation block selection and installation) measures. Comparison of the performance test before and after the improvement showed that the tensile strength of the tap terminal was improved about 2 times and the withstand voltage characteristic was improved. The application of quality improvement measures resulted in no fuming even after more than 3 years of field operation. This result is expected to improve the operation and storage stability of the torpedo propulsion cell.

Conventional satellites are generally large satellites that are multi-functional and have high performance. However, small satellites have been gradually drawing attention since the recent development of lightweight and integrated electric, electronic, and optical technologies. As the size and weight of a satellite decrease, the barrier to satellite development is becoming lower due to the cost of manufacture and cheaper launch. However, solar panels are essential for the power supply of satellites but have limitations in miniaturization and weight reduction because they require a large surface area to be efficiently exposed to sunlight. Space solar cells must be manufactured in consideration of various space environments such as spacecraft and environments with solar thermal temperatures. It is necessary to study structural materials for lightweight and high-efficiency solar cells by applying an unfolding mechanism that optimizes the surface-to-volume ratio. Currently, most products are developed and operated as solar cell panels for space applications with a triple-junction structure of InGaP/GaAs/Ge materials for high efficiency. Furthermore, multi-layered junctions have been studied for ultra-high-efficiency solar cells. Flexible thin-film solar cells and organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells are advantageous for material weight reduction and are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells for small satellites.

Preservation processing for two combat boots was executed through application of 3-dimensional digital technology and with use of preservation materials providing outstanding reversibility and stability. The aim of this was to establish a method to preserve the relics of fallen Korean War soldiers that had been excavated by the soldiers remains excavation corps of the Ministry of National Defense. It was possible to estimate the foot size of the soldiers who would have worn the combat boots via 3-dimensional digital scanning and modeling of the boots. In this process, the original form of the combat boots was restored through the use of 3D-printed structures. The original form was restored through a process of removing contaminants from the excavated relics and performing a conditioning treatment, and through use of an antique-color treatment after bonding and filling in the sections that had been ripped or deteriorated. Following the aforementioned preservation processes, it was possible to confirm that both of the combat boots had soles and top sections made of rubber, and portions of the top section and ankle section of the boots were made of synthetic rubber. As such, it was confirmed that these were similar to the Shoe Pac(M-1944, 12-inch) winter boots that had been manufactured for the purposes of waterproofing and/or protection against cold, and introduced in 1944. Such results confirmed that it is possible to discover the manufacturing techniques, materials, and uses of relics excavated through application of preservation processing, thereby illustrating the importance of the convergent research of scientific preservation processing and 3-dimensional digital technology.

High-frequency bottom loss measurements for grazing angle of $82^{\circ}$ in frequency range 17-40 kHz were made in Jinhae bay in the southern part of Korea. Observations of bottom loss showed the strong variation as a function of frequency, which were compared to the predicted values using two-layered sediment reflection model. The geoacoustic parameters including sound speed, density and attenuation coefficient for the second sediment layer were predicted from the empirical relations with the mean grain size obtained from sediment core analysis. The geoacoustic parameters for the surficial sediment layer were inverted using Monte Carlo inversion algorithm. A sensitivity study for the geoacoustic parameters showed that the thickness of surficial sediment layer was most sensitive to the variation of the bottom loss.
