Although the Korea National Guard(KNG) has a short history, it has a great meaning in that it is the first of the Korean reserve forces system. Research on the KNG has been passively conducted so far. Even so, the research conducted was limited to a fragmentary description from a historical point of view and did not identify the characteristics of the KNG. Therefore, in this study, after examining the background of the times when the KNG existed, we tried to identify the characteristics of the KNG from a new perspective from legal, institutional, military, and political perspectives. In summary, the KNG was born as an efficient system in preparation for war while receiving legal support. In addition, the adoption of the volunteer army system, a recruiting system of advanced countries, the fact that officers were trained through a separate military academy unique to the KNG, and that they contributed to rear area operations are highly evaluated from a military standpoint. On the other hand, it is negative that politicians and non-military groups colluded from the process of establishing the KNG. Finally, with this study as an opportunity, it is hoped that research on the reserve force that existed before the Korean War will become more active.

Purpose: Nowadays, the risk assessment system is widely used in many industrial and public areas to reduce the possible risks. The system is used to determine the priorities of the government quality assurance works in Defense Agency for Technology and Quality. However, as the risk assessment system is used for other purposes, there are some items that need improvement, and in this study, we propose improvement plans by benchmarking the risk assessment systems of other institutions. Methods: In this paper, first, the procedures of risk assessment system used in many industrial sites were reviewed, and how each institution specialized and applied the system. Afterwards, by benchmarking various risk assessment systems, an improvement plan on how to operate the risk assessment system in the case of government quality assurance for centrally procured military supplies was presented, and practical application cases were presented to prove the usefulness of the improvement plan. Results: The proposed risk assessment system differs from the existing system in five major aspects. First, inputs, outputs, and key performance indicators were specified from the systematic point of view. Second, risk analysis was analyzed in four dimensions: probability of occurrence, impact, detection difficulty. Third, risk mitigation measures were classified, control, transfer, and sharing. Fourth, the risk mitigation measures were realized through document verification, product verification, process verification, and quality system evaluation. Finally, risk mitigation measures were implemented and the effectiveness of the risk mitigation measures was evaluated through effectiveness evaluation. Conclusions: In order for the risk assessment procedure proposed in this study to be applied to actual work, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the person involved in the work due to the increased time for risk identification and preparation of the government quality assurance log, and a change in the information system that performs the actual work is required. Therefore, the authors of this study plan to actively perform internal seminar presentations and work improvement suggestions to apply these research outputs to actual work.

As markets and industries continue to evolve rapidly, technology opportunity discovery (TOD) has become critical to a firm's survival. From a common consensus that TOD based on a firm's capabilities is a valuable method for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and reduces the risk of failure in technology development, studies for TOD based on a firm's capabilities have been actively conducted. However, previous studies mainly focused on a firm's technological capabilities and rarely on business capabilities. Since discovered technologies can create market value when utilized in a firm's business, a firm's current business capabilities should be considered in discovering technology opportunities. In this context, this study proposes a TOD method that considers both a firm's business and technological capabilities. To this end, this study uses patent data, which represents the firm's technological capabilities, and trademark data, which represents the firm's business capabilities. The proposed method comprises four steps: 1) Constructing firm technology and business capability matrices using patent classification codes and trademark similarity group codes; 2) Transforming the capability matrices to preference matrices using the fuzzy function; 3) Identifying a target firm's candidate technology opportunities using the collaborative filtering algorithm; 4) Recommending technology opportunities using a portfolio map constructed based on technology similarity and applicability indices. A case study is conducted on a security firm to determine the validity of the proposed method. The proposed method can assist SMEs that face resource constraints in identifying technology opportunities. Further, it can be used by firms that do not possess patents since the proposed method uncovers technology opportunities based on business capabilities.

This paper evaluates the performance of various distribution assumptions in regression settings for estimating insurance loss. The gamma distribution is commonly used to handle the asymmetry property of loss distribution. However, recent studies highlight the significance of heavy-tailedness in loss distribution. Through an analysis of real home fire insurance data, we compare the effectiveness of different distribution assumptions in regression methods. Our findings show that the choice of parametric distributional assumption is crucial in determining premiums for various insurance products, including "excess of loss insurance" and "limit insurance". Additionally, we discuss practical considerations for applying our results in home fire insurance.

Chromium-based metal-organic frameworks (MIL-101(Cr)) were synthesized, and their potential use as a filling material for gas masks or protective clothing was assessed through adsorption experiments using diisopropyl methyl phosphate (DIMP) as a simulant for chemical warfare agents. MIL-101(Cr) was prepared using acetic acid (MIL-101(Cr)-A) and sodium hydroxide (MIL-101(Cr)-N) as modulators. The use of acetic acid as a modulator resulted in a larger specific surface area and a higher DIMP adsorption capacity. MIL-101(Cr)-A absorbed approximately 160% of its own weight of moisture when exposed to an environment with a relative humidity of 90% for 10 days, surpassing other adsorbents such as activated carbon. The DIMP adsorption capacity of MIL-101(Cr)-A decreased to about 40% of its initial adsorption capacity after 24 hours of exposure to an environment with a relative humidity of 90%. However, this capacity is still higher compared to that of activated carbon used in commercial gas masks, suggesting a high potential for future use as a filling material for gas masks or protective clothing.

Previous research regarding budget analysis has been mostly limited to describing annual changes in defense budgets relative to total budgets without a theoretical background. More empirical defense budget research is needed with better data. This study conducts an empirical analysis of national defense expenditures using Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET). The purpose of this study is to examine trends in the Republic of Korea's (ROK) functional defense budgets (total defense budget, force operation budget, force improvement budget) and to identify and analyze radical points of change in the defense budget using punctuated equilibrium theory. This study also explores trends and punctuations in the national defense budgets using annual defense budget data from the ROK for every year from 1998 to 2017. This study finds that from 1998 to 2017 the spending pattern of the total defense budget in the ROK was characterized by 19 years of stable growth and a one-time punctuation (5.0%). The force operation budget exhibited stable growth in eighteen years and was punctuated twice (10%). The force improvement budget was punctuated five times.

Voice is a critical element of human communication, and the development of speech recognition models is one of the significant achievements in artificial intelligence, which has recently been applied in various aspects of human life. The application of speech recognition models in the military field is also inevitable. However, before artificial intelligence models can be applied in the military, it is necessary to research their vulnerabilities. In this study, we evaluates the military applicability of the multilingual speech recognition model "Whisper" by examining its vulnerabilities to battlefield noise, white noise, and adversarial attacks. In experiments involving battlefield noise, Whisper showed significant performance degradation with an average Character Error Rate (CER) of 72.4%, indicating difficulties in military applications. In experiments with white noise, Whisper was robust to low-intensity noise but showed performance degradation under high-intensity noise. Adversarial attack experiments revealed vulnerabilities at specific epsilon values. Therefore, the Whisper model requires improvements through fine-tuning, adversarial training, and other methods.
