This study is the result of meta evaluation for the self evaluation of defense R&D programs in Korea. The overall meta evaluation result gained 74.3 points out of 100, so it was evaluated as 'Good'. T- test and one-way ANOVA were used to identify the difference between groups. As a result of difference analysis between groups, some evaluation items showed difference within significance level. From this analysis, it is attempted to identify possible problems and to find out the ways of improvements related to the self evaluation system of defense R&D Programs. The ultimate objective of this study is to manage the programs effectively and improve the reliability and the objectiveness of the defense R&D performances.

Dual-use technology, upon its effective development, can be a highly efficient technology that may be utilized for both achieving industry competitiveness and building National Security. Although research needs for such development methodology and call for corresponding efforts have long been proposed, actual outputs have not reached its desired level. Hence, this paper aims to provide more concrete and quantitative process in technology planning used to activate development of dual-use technology, considering dual usability and transferability of such technologies. In such effort, we propose use of patent analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for determining priorities for spin-off defense technology. First, the necessity of R&D and potential spin-off are measured based on patent information. Second, the necessity of R&D results from a quantitative analysis and the potentials spin-off are derived from analysis of patent citations. Then, AHP is used to calculate the importance of evaluating factors, and to assess alternative scores. Finally, we present the result of spin-off priority. A case study on the Korea defense technology is presented to illustrate the proposed method. We expect this study to make contribution in vision making of the military R&D spending.

This study evaluated the process of software quality assurance about the initial product in a weapon system. The software quality assurance of the initial product was insufficient before this study. Therefore, the process of the software quality assurance about the initial product in a weapon system is suggested. The process has three parts. First, the completeness of computer files, such as source code and execute files, were checked. Second, the suitability of the software technical data was checked. Finally, the connectivity of software technical data and the Korean defense specification were assessed. Overall, there is a need to toughen the software quality assurance in the research and development step and achieve early stabilization of mass production by preventing the problems that prevent the production of a product due to the insufficient software technical data.

SAR signal processing technique has been considered a crucial technical part in order to generate an image from radar signal data and ADD (Agency for Defense Development) has focused on this area for years to develope our own SAR Processor for various SAR systems (Radarsat, ERS, KOMSAR). In this paper, we investigated major techniques related to generation of SAR images and developed ASPR (ADD SAR Processor for Radarsat) practically using the commercial Radarsat-1 radar signal data (RAW). We demonstrated the performance of the ASPR in comparison with the image generated by MDA and Vexcel's SAR Processor (FOCUS).

The war between Ukraine and Russia continues. Ukraine, with the help of the United States and others, is fighting a superior battle against Russia with advanced weapons applied artificial intelligence. In line with this trend, the Korean military announced Defense Innovation 4.0 to expend investment in defense technology for the 4th Industrial Revolution and to realize a smart military. In order to achieve this effectively, it is necessary to examine the weapons R&D system. This thesis examines the existing weapons research and development system and derives the plans that can rapidly develop Advanced weapons in a timely manner. In addition, the plans for Rapid R&D for the application of the recently introduced 4th industrial revolution technology was also presented. Through this, it was intended to help the Korean military quickly adopt Advanced weapons in the future.

This paper addressed the analysis of the trend and direction of the US defense strategy based on their third offset strategy and presented the practical policy implication of ensuring the security of South Korea appropriately in the future national defense environment. The countermeasures for the development ability of advanced weapon systems and secure core technologies for Korea were presented in consideration of the US third offset strategy for the future national defense environment. First, to carry out the innovation of national defense in Korea based on artificial intelligence(AI), the long-term basis strategy for the operation of the unmanned robot and autonomous weapon system should be suggested. Second, the platform for AI has to be developed to obtain the development of algorithms and computing abilities for securing the collection/storage/management of national defense data. Lastly, advanced components and core technologies are identified, which the Korean government can join to develop with the US on a basis of the Korea-US alliance, and the technical cooperation with the US should be stronger.

IDEF(Integrated Definition) method, a standard methodology of CALS process modelling, was applied to the weapon system R&D process to provide information modelling by analysing about goal, input, output and constraints in the R&D process. The information to be managed in R&D institutes was identified by using SmartER which is the automation program of IDEF1/1X and obtained information modelling for TO-BE model. The work process of weapon system R&D consists of the concept study phase, the exploration development phase, the system development phase, the prototype manufacturing phase, and the report writing of R&D results phase. The information modelling of weapon system R&D is the R&D work process with information sharing by means of IWSDB Since IDEF is suitable for large scale system development like weapon system R&D, further studies on IDEF would be required to achieve the goal of defense CALS.

본 연구에서는 CBD기반 무기체계 임베디드 SW의 테스트 프로세스를 설계한다. 설계는 두 가지 방법으로 수행되며, 하향식 접근방법으로 프로세스 개발과정을 분석하고 상향식 접근방법으로 산출물을 분석한다. 이를 위해 정보체계 개발방법론으로 국방부의 '국방 CBD 방법론'과 한국전자통신연구원의 '마르마III'를 분석하고, 무기체계/임베디드 개발 방법론으로는 미국 국방성의 'MIL-STD-498'과 유럽의 임베디드 개발방법론인 'DESS'방법론을 분석한다. 분석 자료를 토대로 무기체계 임베디드 SW 테스트를 위한 구성요소를 도출하고, IDEF0 표기법을 활용하여 테스트 프로세스를 설계한다. 또한 제안한 테스트 프로세스를 TPI 모델을 통하여 평가한다.

The Ministry of National Defense has developed MND-AF and Defense-CBD methodology to make the integration and management of standardization effective through enhancing the interoperability and reusability of information systems. Yet no explicit guidelines or procedures have not been developed for the applying range and mutual relationship of the artifacts between MND-AF and Defense-CBD methodology. Thus, the development time is unnecessarily extended and budget also is increasing because both methodologies produce the artifacts respectively. This paper presents a reusability enhancement scheme for producing MND-AF artifacts according to Defense-CBD process by analyzing artifacts of two methodology les at each element level, so that it will reduce the overhead of producing the artifacts and enhance the completeness of the artifacts. In result, in the case of applying Defense-CBD methodology for developing a information system34 artifacts out of 37 MND-AF artifacts can be reusable.

Risk management activity for successful defense R&D project should be done anticipatorily and consistently over the entire project period and there should be a priority for management depending on importance of the risk factors. In this study, we verified the reliability and validity through factor analysis for the risk factors selected by the Delphi technique. We also obtained the relative importance of risk factors with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and decided to prioritize for comparison of domestic and overseas research. According to the study, we found that it is important to settle the requirements and to classify the scope of R&D. It is also considered significant to have reasonable schedule for completion and secure the necessary resources in the early stage of project. Unlike previous studies, it appeared the technical factors are critical elements as well for defense R&D project.
