This study is aimed to investigate the application of DITA(Defense Information Technical stAndard) on the weapon information systems and defense management information systems in order not only to update the current DITA version 4.0, but also to develop SoS(System of systems) interoperability policy in the armed forces of Korea. For this study, 18 information systems were considered, their development products(System/Sub-system Specification, Technical architecture View, System Interoperability Test and Evaluation products) were reviewed and analysed. As a result of the investigation and analysis, it was found that the 44% of the DITA standard profiles were used for the development of the defense information systems. We conclude that DITA should be updated to be a minimal set so that all the defense information systems should be DITA-compliant. And it should be reviewed periodically to reflect the new information technology.

Interoperability tests are required to determine whether network-based defense systems successfully share and exchange certain services, information, and data. We must examine various aspects of interoperability. The DITA (Defense Information Technical stAndard) is the basis for interoperability. However, DITA is being applied to the defense system in a state that the standard test methods and procedures are not established. And there is no test method and procedure of the DITA well applicable to military weapons systems or information systems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a framework that includes procedures, methodologies, so as to test whether a standard is applied to the DITA in terms of Standard Conformance Test.

The purpose of this thesis is to research and propose a practical Information Security Technical Architecture on Primary Defense Information Infrastructure with regard to requirement of information security. The scope of this research is limited to national defense information master plan & security rule, and U.S. DoD's IATF is used to plan a detailed structure. The result of this research can be used as a guide book for providing security for Army IT infrastructure now and in the future as well as to devise a plan for research and development in information protection technology.

In the modern warfield, as the defense systems has been digitalized, intelligent, and working with network, the importance of interoperability among the systems has been also increasing. KMND(Korean Ministry of National Defense) has developed and used the SITES(Systems Interoperability Test & Evaluation System) based on Korean LISI(Levels of Information Systems Interoperability). SITES had been developed in order to evaluate the interoperability among information systems from the viewpoint of technical attributes. In this paper, we propose the extended interoperability evaluation model which can be applied not only the information systems, but also the weapon systems. Moreover, the extended interoperability evaluation model also includes the consideration of non-technical attributes.

MND(Ministry of National Defense) has developed MND AF(Ministry of National Defense Architecture Framework) and CADM(Core Architecture Data Model) to guarantee interoperability among defense information systems. TRM(Technical Reference Model) and SP(Standard Profile) product defined in MND AF is core part of Information Technology Architecture and core element of interoperability guarantee. In this paper, we proposed a method which manages technical service and standard of TRM and SP, and developed TRM and SP management system based on the method. TRM and SP management system provides the basis for interoperability among information systems and a more efficient development and management of TRM and SP product.

As Cyber threats are rising, the scope of information Security (IS) is extending from technical protection of a single information system to organizational comprehensive IS capability. The ministry of National Defense (MND) has established the IS evaluation for defense organization in 'the Directive for Defense Informatization Affairs.' However, no information about an evaluation method, process and organization is provided. We surveyed information security management system (ISMS) and related best practices in public sector and other countries, and analysed the military information security affairs. Thus, this paper recommends the IS evaluation method and process. The trial IS evaluation is in progress this year and the MND will expand this IS evaluation to the entire organization.

The Technology Readiness Assessment(TRA) has the advantage of identifying immature technologies in promoting weapon system research and development project. However, a more diverse set of information is required for the determination of phase shift and technical risk management for weapons system R&D projects. In this paper, we investigate the various indexes the various indexes proposed to overcome the limitations of the Technology Readiness Level(TRL) and analyze the possibility of applying to the actual weapons system R&D projects. Based on the analysis, it was possible to provide additional information that could not be presented in TRA using technical risk indexes other than TRL, confirming that it could be used for technical risk management for weapons system R&D projects.

This research attempts to acquire technical performance measure information based on identifying the Critical To Quality(CTQ) parameters of user requirement by using Quality Function Deployment(QFD) methodology in the initial phase of a defense R&D project. This results will contribute to the integration of technical progress to the Work Breakdown Structure(WBS) based project performance tracking. It also improve the bridging of systems engineering activities to the project management and the project decision making process.

This study is presented a scheme that information security research institutions located within the central area can be participated actively m national defense information security industry. The many of information security company are located in the central region(Daejeon) and there are many research institutes. However, the participation rate of the Defense Information Security Industry is not high compared to other provinces. Although a variety of reasons, there are no the Defense Privacy Office that could have a role in protocol and the information about the industry. In addition, the Department of Defense related to national defense information security industry have not information about research institutions in the central region and are not well to identify the characteristics of institutional technology and research. So in this paper we presented some of the alternatives. 1) Building Pool involved in information security research according to the characteristics of each agency 2) Constitute the research community between Research institutions and the company 3) Build the technology cooperation between research institutions and the defense research institutes 4) Utilization of industry/university/research institutes related to Information Security Industry 5) Make strategic alliances among research institutes based on technical expertise.

Information technologies are changing rapidly in recent years because of the latest IT development and technology convergence. Therefore, government tries to choose technologies required to achieve mid and long-term strategic technical development target and present technology road map. We established national defense scientific technology plan process for weapon systems. However, national defense IT plan process has not been established yet. Accordingly, in this paper, we suggested outlook of future national defense informationization through national defense Information Technology environment analysis, and discovered future potential Information Technology for national defense through methodology of investigation and analysis and suggested Defense IT Planning development.
