The works of defence reliability have begun since the ILS team was organized in ROKA on March 2003. After that DAPA was opened at January 1st 2006 and those of defence reliability were reinforced. But the present of defence reliability is not enough. Many development and changes are required in the following area. The first is Master-plan making of defence reliability, and the second is making of the process of reliability. And then we have to enhance reliability of weapon system in the operation and support phase. The last is that policy is firmly executed among the defence organizations.

Purpose: This study focused on reality and quality improvement of aviation security equipment performance certification system. Methods: For this propose, we analyzed aviation security equipment performance certification system related legislations. Using analyzed data, we suggested advancement plan of aviation security equipment performance certification system. Results: In results, South Korea has been implementing aviation security performance certification system since October 2018. Parts for improvement of system are mutual certification with major countries that operate aviation security equipment performance certification systems, the spread of the defense industry's system, development of similar substances for handling explosives, and introduction of preliminary inspections. Conclusion: The research result could be used as a basic data for upgrading Korea's aviation security performance certification system.

Purpose: In this study, A reliability assurance model (or reliability program) is proposed to evaluate the reliability of an armed vehicle. The reliability assurance is performed through the reliability-centered activities in the K-000(armed vehicle) of D-Company Methods: By reflecting the current situations of korea defense industry, a reliability assurance model is built up based on the benchmarking results of world leading companies' best practices in same fields. So The reliability growth model is applied the Crow-AMSAA model Results: This research analysis the K-000(armed vehicle) of D-Company using the DT and OT failure data. and application case study by growth model of armed vehicles Conclusion: This research is result of application case study by growth model of armed vehicles.

Purpose: In the A rotorcraft, the division of a long yaw control rod was studied to improve the heat treatment capability. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether division of yaw control rod affects quality reliability in the A rotorcraft and analyze whether it secured flight safety. Methods: The structural static test and the vibration durability test on the split shape of yaw control rod were carried out in order to examine and verify the existing structural analysis results. Results: Structural static test results showed that there were no cracks and vibration durability test results showed that there was no damage or breakage on the split yaw control rod. Conclusion: This study showed that the quality reliability was confirmed and thus the flight safety of the A rotorcraft was secured. And it is expected that the split technique of the yaw control rod will contribute to the development of the rotorcraft industry in the future.

Purpose: In this study, A reliability assurance model (or reliability program) is proposed to evaluate the reliability of an armed vehicle. The reliability assurance is performed through the reliability-centered activities during its life cycle of development/design, production, deployment, maintenance, and disposal. Methods: By reflecting the current situations of korea defense industry, a reliability assurance model is built up based on the benchmarking results of world leading companies' best practices in same fields. Results: The proposed reliability program of armed vehicles, which is based on the reliability program of ANSI/GEIA-STD 0009, uses DMAIC process of the six sigma methodology from design phase to testing and evaluation phase. Conclusion: This research is supposed to develop reliability program of armed vehicles by integrating DFSS, DFR and reliability growth process.

Purpose: This study suggests how to upgrade performance certification technology. Current performance certification of aviation security equipment and the requirements thereof were analyzed. Methods: The performance certification of aviation security equipment worldwide and identified issues with the domestic certification system were compared. The government must upgrade certification in terms of technical standards, the assessment methodology used, and the operating system. Results: Three principal conclusions were drawn. First, certification requirements must be based on a review of the technical literature and real-world experience. Second, development priorities must be set by reference to assessment techniques. Third, both research on the certification system and improvements thereof are essential. Conclusion: Certification of aviation security equipment performance requires gradual upgrading.

The decoy defensive weapon system is a one-shot system. Reliability is maintained through periodic inspection and high reliability is required to confirm whether or not the functioning is normal after launch. The maintenance cycle of a decoy was set up without target reliability and reliability prediction during the development period. However, the number of operations in the military has been increasing, necessitating the optimization of the maintenance cycle. Reliability is analyzed using the maintenance data of a decoy operated for several decades and the optimal maintenance cycle is suggested. In chapter 2, data collection and classification methods are presented and analysis methodology is briefly introduced. In chapter 3, the data distribution analysis and fitness verification confirmed that applying the Weibull distribution is the most suitable for the maintenance data of the decoy. In chapter 4, we present the analysis result of percentile, survival probability and MTBF and the optimal maintenance cycle was derived from the reliability analysis. Finally, we suggest the application methods for this paper in the future.

The performance of weapon system, based on the acceleration of advanced scientific technology, has been reinforced to the state of precision, complexion and multi-function. People have given great interest for a long time on its development, acquisition cost and enormous expense of operation/support. Under this environmental situation, this research paper proposes two kinds of implementation that can improve the RAM(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) on weapon system. The first section is to understand all of the actual states on its reliability, in the acquisition process and to make the improvement for RAM at the milestones on the acquisition steps. The next section is to establish a defense RAM center, which will be closely cooperated with acquisition organization such as Ministry of Defense, DAPA(Defense Acquisition Program Administration), DTaQ(Defense agency for Technology and Quality) and ADD(Agency for Defense Development), etc. and to conclusively improve the RAM of weapon system in South Korea.

Reliability of a pin puller was predicted by Monte Carlo simulation. The prediction method is based on the stress-strength interference model that failure occurs if the stress exceeds the strength. In this study, the strength is considered as the energy delivered by combustion of pyrotechnics to retreat the pin to a predetermined position, whereas the stress is regarded as the energy required to resist the pin movement. The former mainly depends on the amount of pyrotechnic charge and the latter is governed by several friction forces and the energy dissipation within locking mechanism. Both the variables of stress and strength were computed using an analytical performance model. The method presented here, not depending upon a large number of test item, can be applicable to predict the reliability of other kinds of pyrotechnic devices.
