  • Single pixel imaging technology has developed for years, however the video acquisition on the single pixel camera is not a well-studied problem in computer vision. This work proposes a new scheme for single pixel camera to acquire video data and a new regularization for robust signal recovery algorithm. The method establishes a single pixel video compressive sensing scheme to reconstruct the video clips in spatial domain by recovering the difference of the consecutive frames. Different from traditional data acquisition method works in transform domain, the proposed scheme reconstructs the video frames directly in spatial domain. At the same time, a new regularization called spatial cluster is introduced to improve the performance of signal reconstruction. The regularization derives from the observation that the nonzero coefficients often tend to be clustered in the difference of the consecutive video frames. We implement an experiment platform to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Numerous experiments show the well performance of video acquisition and frame reconstruction on single pixel camera.

  • In the defense acquisition, a company's goal is to maximize profits, and the government's goal is to allocate budgets efficiently. Each year, the government estimates the ratio of indirect cost sector to defense companies, and estimates the ratio to be applied when calculating cost of the defense articles next year. The defense industry environment is changing rapidly, due to the increasing trend of defense acquisition budgets, the advancement of weapon systems, the effects of the 4th industrial revolution, and so on. As a result, the cost structure of defense companies is being diversifying. The purpose of this study is to find an alternative that can enhance the rationality of the current methodology for estimating the ratio of indirect cost sector of defense companies. To do this, we conducted data analysis using the R language on the cost data of defense companies over the past six years in the Defense Integrated Cost System. First, cluster analysis was conducted on the cost characteristics of defense companies. Then, we conducted a regression analysis of the relationship between direct and indirect costs for each cluster to see how much it reflects the cost structure of defense companies in direct labor cost-based indirect cost rate estimates. Lastly a new ratio prediction model based on regularized regression analysis was developed, applied to each cluster, and analyzed to compare performance with existing prediction models. According to the results of the study, it is necessary to estimate the indirect cost ratio based on the cost character group of defense companies, and the direct labor cost based indirect cost ratio estimation partially reflects the cost structure of defense companies. In addition, the current indirect cost ratio prediction method has a larger error than the new model.

  • Due to the population of the Republic of Korea is getting less, the shortage of available troops has become a big issue. In response to this, the need for Unmanned weapon systems is rising. To operate an Unmanned weapon system near borderlines or low altitude, it is necessary to protect not only the system itself but also operational information communicated between the Unmanned system and control station, so that they should be safe using Cybersecurity measures. Besides, it is critical to protect a few core technologies applied to Unmanned weapon systems throughout the Anti-Tamper measures. As the precedent studies only focus partially, Cybersecurity or Anti-Tamper, it is acknowledged that comprehensive studies are needed to be conducted. This study is to incorporate both concepts into Korea's defense acquisition process. Specifically, we will outline the concepts and needs of Cybersecurity and Anti-Tamper, and briefly present ways to apply them simultaneously.

  • The acquisition cost of defense weapon system has been continuously increasing because of art-of-technology of it. This phenomenon requires efficiency and transparency in the weapon system acquisition process through cost estimation. Therefore cost estimation is very important to the government acquisition programs to support decisions about funding and to evaluate resource requirement as a key decision point. The Commercial parametric cost estimating models have been using extensively to obtain appropriate cost estimates in early acquisition phase. These models have many restrictions to ensure the cost estimating result in Korean defense environment because they are developed based on foreign R&D data. Also estimation results are different from Korean defense industry accounting system. So, some studies have been tried to develop a CER (Cost Estimation Relationship) based on the Korean historical data. However, there are some restrictions to improve the predictability and ensure the stability of the developed singular CERs which consider the following data characteristics individually. The the abnormal conditions of data that is multicollinearity, outlier and heteroscedasticity under rack of the number of observations. In this paper, a CER's Linear Combining Model is proposed to overcome those limitations which guarantee more accurate estimation (25.42% higher precision) than other singular CERs. At least, this study is meaningful as a first attempt to improve the predictability of CER with insufficient data. The methodology suggested in this study will be useful to develop a complex Korean version cost estimating model development in future.

  • Delivering clear requirements of the military in the defense acquisition process is a key activity for successful weapon acquisition. In the field of defense, Operational Requirements Documents (ORDs) are prepared to derive and deliver the requirements of the military. In this study, we compare and analyze the form and content of the recent domestic ORD with reference to the US Department of Defense (DoD) ORD. As a result of the study, it is found that the domestic ORD form needs to be supplemented with in accordance with the purpose of the operation, while the requirement parameter, which is a core item of ORD, is insufficient. In order to address these issues, detailed contents of the ORD form suitable for the purpose of this study are presented. Also, we provide clear definitions, explanations, and examples of the operational system's key performance parameters and suggest ways to clearly communicate the requirements of the military.

  • A signal system for improving the code acquisition complexity of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver is proposed and the receiving correlator scheme is presented accordingly. The proposed signal system is a hierarchical code type with a duplexing configuration which consists of the Zadoff-Chu (ZC) code having a good auto-correlation characteristic and the Pseudo Random Noise (PRN) code for distinguishing satellites. The receiving correlator has the scheme that consists of the primary correlator for the ZC code and the secondary correlator which uses the PRN code for the primary correlation results. The simulation results of code acquisition using the receiving correlator of the proposed signal system show that the proposed signal scheme improves the complexity of GNSS receiver and has the code acquisition performance comparable to the existing GNSS signal system using Coarse/Acquisition (C/A) code.

  • Recently, it is expected to significantly increase the defense budget by acquiring large-scale weapons systems to enhance defensive capabilities. In order to secure funds needed to acquire such weapons systems, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the defense budget. In addition, interest in economic factors affecting the domestic economy such as export opportunities and employment creation are increasing, as well as budget reduction of the defense acquisition business. In order to respond to these demands, this study conducted cost- benefit analysis and examined economic ripple effects in the implementation of defense procurement projects. However, research on economic analysis methodology considering characteristics of defense acquisition projects is still in its early stage. This study proposes a methodology to analyze the economic feasibility of defense acquisition projects and conducted a case study on the economic feasibility of the ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ guided missile project which is being prepared against local provocation. The proposed economic analysis method provides the cost-effectiveness analysis that has been performed in many weapon system acquisition projects in connection with the more general cost-benefit analysis method. This study contributes to the establishment of an improved theoretical methodology for weapon system acquisition projects.

  • The contractor management for the effective defense project is essential factor in the modern defense acquisition task. The occurrence of unlawful company causes hastiness for project manager and setback to the deployment of defense weapon system. In this paper, we develop a prediction model for the effective defense project by using the discriminant analysis and analyse the variables that discriminate the unlawful company in many variables. It is expected that our model can be used to improve the project management capability of defense acquisition and contribute to the establishment of efficient procurement procedure through entry of the reliable defense manufacturer.
