In most existing warships combat simulation system, the tactics of a warship is manipulated by human operators. For this reason, the simulation results are restricted due to the stereotype of human operators. To deal with this, we have employed the genetic algorithm for supporting the evolutionary simulation environment. In which, the tactical decision by human operators is replaced by the human model with a rule-based chromosome for representing tactics so that the population of simulations are created and hundreds of simulation runs are continued on the basis of the genetic algorithm without any human intervention until to find emergent tactics which shows the best performance throughout the simulation. This paper proposes an evolutionary tactics generation methodology for the emergent tactics in many-to-many warship combat simulation. To do this, 3:3 warship combat simulation tests are performed.

As the network composed of numerous sensor nodes, sensor network conducts the function of sensing the surrounding information by sensor and of the sensed information. The concept of the battlefield is also changing to one that includes not only physical spaces but all areas including the networks of the nation's key industries and military facilities, energy facilities, transportation, and communication networks. In light of the changing warfare in terms of how it is conducted and what form it takes, the Korea military has to seek ways to effectively respond to threats of cyber warfare. In the past, although partial strategies on cyber warfare were studied, no research was done through the overall system flow. In this paper, key variables related to cyber warfare security are classified into personnel, management, and technology. A simple model and an extended model are suggested for each area, and based on the technology area of the extended model, formal methods are used to verify the validity and a detailed response strategy is suggested according to the identified leverage.

Defense M&S (Modeling & Simulation) is utilized as a realistic method to analyze MOE (Measure of Effectiveness) of weapon systems by modeling weapons and their operational environment on the computer, and simulating them under various war scenarios. As weapon systems become complex in their structure and dynamics, model engineering are experiencing difficulties to construct simulation models on a computer. A model repository helps model developers to save model development time and cost by systematically storing predefined and already validated models. However, most repositories for Defense M&Shave not been successful partly due to limited accessability, vulnerability to security threats, and low level of dependability. In this paper, we propose W-Cloud (Weapon Cloud), a cloud model repository for reusing predefined weapon models. Clients can access W-Cloud on any platforms and various devices, yet security and confidentiality concerns are guaranteed by employing multi-tier information protection mechanism.

One of the issues of the automotive industry today is autonomous driving vehicles. In order to achieve level 3 or higher as defined by SAE International, harmonization of autonomous driving technology and connected technology is essential. Current vehicles have new features such as autonomous driving, which not only increases the number of electrical components, but also the amount and complexity of software. As a result, the attack surface, which is the access point of attack, is widening, and software security vulnerabilities are also increasing. However, the reality is that the essential security requirements for vehicles are not defined. In this paper, based on real attacks and vulnerability cases and trends, we identify the assets in the in-vehicle network and derive the threats. We also defined the security requirements and derived essential security requirements that should be applied at least to the safety of the vehicle occupant through risk analysis.

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on a nuclear weapon or the airlift of an electronic bomb affects weapons systems, information devices, wired and wireless communication equipment, and power supply equipment. It can lead to confusion on the battlefield. The current standards for EMP protection when applied to the military are centered on fixed and mobile facilities and equipment. It is, however, important to study EMP protection for a single tactical unit centered on the weapon system. In this study, EMP protection standards were established for command and control, maneuvering and firepower systems vulnerable to EMPs, focusing on battle tanks with mobility, firepower, and shock force. Also, specific development plans for EMP protection capabilities are proposed, including the shielding and blocking of EMPs. Through the study, the Korean government intends to ensure a unit's command and control under an EMP attack as well as preserve the viability of a unit's personnel and guarantee the conditions for the execution of a mission.

Recently popularized drone technologies have revealed that low-cost small unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) can be a significant threat to prevailing power by operating in group or in swarms. Researchers in many countries have tried to utilize integrated swarm unmanned aerial system(SUAS) in the battlefield. Agency for Defense Development also identified four core technologies in developing SUAS: swarm control, swarm network, swarm information, and swarm collaboration, and the authors started researches on swarm control and network technologies in order to be able to operate vehicle platforms as the first stage. This paper introduces design and integration of SUAS consisting of small fixed-wing UAVs, swarm control and network algorithms, a ground control system, and a launcher, with which swarm control and network technologies have been verified by flight tests. 19 fixed-wing UAVs succeeded in swarm flight in the final flight test for the first time as a domestic research.

Because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEV and EV), average temperature in a battery cell is the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack. Furthermore, fast charging technology is required to reduce battery charging time. Since battery pack performance and lifespan are deteriorated due to the heat of cells and electronic components caused by fast charging, an effective cooling system is required to reduce performance deterioration. In this study, a cooling system and module design applied to a pouch-type for fast charging battery cell are investigated, and the cooling performance that can maximize the efficiency of the battery was analyzed. The result shows that the vapor chamber cooling system has better cooling performance, the temperature drop in the module was 5.82 ℃ compared with aluminum cooling plates.

Battle Management Language (BML) is defined as an unambiguous language intended to provide for command and control of simulated and live forces in U.S. It has been developed to connect between command and control system and Modeling & Simulation in the U.S., including NATO M&S Working Group. Its goal is to provide situational awareness and offer a path forward for interoperation of C2 systems and simulations. This study deals with BML development in U.S. that begins from army and is being expanded in multinational environment. It also proposes the BML application for C4I and M&S interoperation in the Korean forces. Recent developments of BML in U.S. have shown the potential for interoperation between C2 systems and simulations in a coalition environment. Finally, this study proposes a general BML application method and shows the example of its application to the Korea Joint Command Control System (KJCCS). It provides an architecture and a milestone for BML application in the Korean forces.

Recently the intelligent agent systems have been emerged as one of key issues for developing the defense M&S systems. However, most conventional agent architecture of M&S systems utilize the script-based models and can only deal with the individual behaviors so that they cannot suitably describe the precise tactical/strategic behavior and/or complex warfare environment. To overcome these problems, we have proposed the hierarchical multi-agent system architecture that is able to intelligently cope with the complex missions based on the functional role of each agent on the hierarchy such as an intelligence officer, captain, warship commander. Several simulation tests performed on 2:2 warship warfare models will illustrate our techniques.

The paradigm of warfare is undergoing a revolutionary transformation due to the advancements in technology brought forth by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Specifically, the U.S. military has introduced the concept of mosaic warfare as a means of military innovation, aiming to integrate diverse resources and capabilities, including various weapons, platforms, information systems, and artificial intelligence. This integration enhances the ability to conduct agile operations and respond effectively to dynamic situations. The incorporation of mosaic warfare could facilitate efficient and rapid command and control by integrating AI staff with human commanders. Ukrainian military operations have already employed mosaic warfare in response to Russian aggression. This paper focuses on the mosaic war fare concept, which is being proposed as a model for future warfare, and suggests the strategy for introducing the Korean mosaic warfare concept in light of the changing battlefield paradigm.
