The aim of this paper is to show the process of R&D Project-Priority Ordering in the Defense Technology field. We propose specific methods (Delphi, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Scoring) to order the R&D Project-Priority. In general, to decide the priority of R&D projects most of researches depend on questionnaires which are surveyed by experts. However, it is criticized that this process cannot reflect the limitation of experience and knowledge of experts. In this process, we separate evaluators in two parts: the first is strategic experts, the second is technical experts. Evaluators can choose and evaluate the alternatives which they are familiar with, so we can obtain reliable results. Finally, based on our process of the R&D Project-Priority Ordering we formulate policy implications for managing the defense technology.

This is a study for the improvement of the fractured lug structure that connects the landing gear to the fuselage of the aircraft using the composite leaf spring landing gear. The lug surface was analyzed to find out the cause of fracture. The lug was destroyed by the crack initiation and propagation under the repeated stresses. The frictional wears of the lug structure were proceeded and that affected adversely to the crack. Also, the square protrusion of the lug has a weak shape to bring about stress concentration. The design changes were conducted and the test was performed to verify changed design results.

The defence industry of the Republic of Korea(ROK) has grown up since 1970, however it is facing a growth hindrance due to its structural problem. Many professionals of defense industry has developed some measures to upgrade and energize the defence industry of ROK, and also the current government is implementing various transformations and new policies under the initiative of cooperative independence defence. But most of papers published so far have some limitations resulting from their qualitative contents. And also it is true for them not to show policy alternatives devised by the system thinking. This paper identifies essential factors of defense industry, then analyze the causal relation among those factors. It also shows the causal loop to identify the politic leverages, on which concrete measures to resolve the structural problems are based.

As the paradigm of the global defense industry changes due to the Russia-Ukraine war, Korea's cutting-edge conventional weapons systems are attracting attention from around the world. In 2023, Korea ranked 9th in world arms exports, and is pursuing innovation in the defense industry with the goal of becoming the world's 4th largest defense exporter by 2027. The defense industry is a national strategic industry that requires a long period of time and a large budget, and defense technology is a core technology that has a great impact on the advancement of defense and the national economy. Over the past five years, Korea has suffered economic losses worth approximately 25 trillion won due to the outflow of cutting-edge technology overseas, and there is an urgent need for institutional improvement to prevent the outflow of defense technology. Therefore, this study presented Korea's defense industry development strategy by examining the laws and systems that the three key players in the Indo-Pacific region, the United States, China, and Japan, are promoting to protect defense industry technology. To foster the defense industry as a promising future industry in Korea, it is necessary to respond to the fast-evolving pace of development of advanced science and technology in connection with securing technological sovereignty and protect defense technology, which is a key technology of the country, by improving related laws and systems.

As the paradigm shifts in the era of accelerated technological development and technology convergence, the defense sector is pursuing national defense research and development through selection and concentration, as well as the expansion of investments to develop defense science and technology to the highest possible level. In addition to investing heavily in cutting-edge weapons and core technologies that are consistent with the future, the defense sector is also developing investment strategies within a limited budget. In the private sector, the PD system has been introduced in order to maximize the performance of R&D policy and to improve the professionalism and responsibility of planning & management. In accordance with this trend, in the field of defense, the PD system of defense technology with specialization is being promoted, in order to strengthen the task planning capacity and to promote the utilization of private technology. Considering the need for coherent technical support for the core technology developed by R&D, the improvement of open technology planning systems and expansion of inter-civil & technical linkage, the use of the PD system in the defense field is indispensable. In this study, we review similar cases abroad and at home to examine the introduction and management of the PD system for defense technology. This study is based on the current state of the defense technology PD system that is being pursued.

This article is focused how the maritime strategy between continental powered country(the Soviet, the China) and maritime powered country(the U.S.) interact with attack and defense theory. We will know, what is the maritime strategy that the U.S. of military superiority has pursued with the point of view of attack, on the other hand, relatively what is the maritime strategy that the Soviet-Sino of military inferiority has pursued with the point of view of defense. In cold war, the Soviet has counteracted to 'blue belt defense' in active defense as to the U.S. 'sea strike' and in post cold war, the China counteract to 'A2/AD' as to the U.S. 'Air-Sea Battle'. The difference between the Soviet-Sino maritime strategy is that the China has emerged the second an economic power and their leadership has a strong's will to strengthen their navy's power. although the U.S. declare the pivot to Asia, the influence on Asia of the U.S. tend to decrease because of sequest. therefore, the China will seek to the more active defense beyond the first island chain. Meanwhile, the U.S. has reinforced of 'hub and spoke strategy' to solidify the U.S. formal allies to band together regional powers and to overcome the A2/AD challenge, the U.S. has been developed that the Air-Sea Battle concept meshes with Washington's 'rebalancing' policy toward the Asia-Pacific as its vital missions to safeguard core island or semi-island allies-namely, Korea and Japan-and crucial sea lanes of communication in the region are conducted mostly from or over the sea.

This study investigates key factors affecting the activity of defense technology transfer through the questionnaire survey in Korea. Defense R&D investment has played an important role in promoting the commercial technology development as well as the targeted defense sector through the spin-off mechanism as shown in many countries. Recognizing the importance of effective and efficient investment in defense technology development, the advanced countries in defense technology are trying to establish optimal technology transfer mechanism to maximize the effect of the invested R&D at the national level considering the idiosyncratic features of their own countries. Because the technology transfer mechanisms are very distinct from country to country, it is natural to question "what are the determinants of the effective and efficient technology transfer in Korea?" We tested 19 potential factors and identified 11 factors that are significantly important as the determinants of technology transfer. From the empirical findings, we discuss some policy implications to promote the technology transfer.

The 4th industrial revolution is regarded as a paradigm that determines future national competitiveness through the convergence and intelligence of various ICT technologies. In order to ensure the realization of the Korean military's national tasks and the successful implementation of Defense Reform 2.0, the vision for the promotion of the 'Defense Innovation Plan in the Era of the 4th Industrial Revolution' was set as 'implementation of smart defense innovation based on the 4th industrial revolution'. However, it is time to review whether the data value chain, which is the core of the 4th industrial revolution, is considered before full-scale business promotion according to the vision. In this paper, we compared and analyzed the smart defense innovation promotion project and the military and pan-government data platform project in terms of the data value chain, and suggested policy alternatives to build a defense data ecosystem.

In this paper, we consider a new preventive replacement policy for the system which deteriorates while it is in operation with an increasing failure rate. The system is subject to two types of failure. A type 1 failure is repairable while a type 2 failure is not repairable. In the new policy, a system is replaced at the age of $t_p$ or at the instant the$\textsc{k}^{th}$ type 1 failure occurs, whichever comes first. However, if a type 2 failure occurs before a preventive replacement is performed, a failure replacement should be made. We assume that a type 1 failure can be rectified with a minimal repair. We also assume that a replacement takes a non-negligible amount of time while a minimal repair takes a negligible amount of time. Under a cost structure which includes a preventive replacement cost, a failure replacement cost and a minimal repair cost, we develop a model to find the optimal ($\textsc{k},t_p$) policy which minimizes the expected cost per unit time in the long run while satisfying a system availability constraint.

AI is accepted not only in the private sector but also in the defense sector as a cutting-edge technology that must be introduced for the development of national defense. In particular, artificial intelligence has been selected as a key task in defense science and technology innovation, and the importance of data is increasing. As the national defense department shifts from a closed data policy to data sharing and activation, efforts are being made to secure high-quality data necessary for the development of national defense. In particular, we are promoting a review of the business budget system to secure data so that related procedures can be improved to reflect the unique characteristics of AI and big data, and research and development can begin with sufficient large quantities and high-quality data. However, there is a need to establish standardization and quality standards for structured data and unstructured data at the national defense level, but the defense department is still proposing standardization and quality standards for structured data, so this needs to be supplemented. In this paper, we propose an unstructured data set standard format for defense unstructured data sets, which are most needed in defense artificial intelligence, and based on this, we propose a standardization method for defense unstructured data sets.
