  • With the emphasis on protecting Defense Industry Technology, the Defense Industry Technology Protection Act (DITPA) was enacted (in 2015) and implemented. According to article 7 of the DITPA, a target institution may apply to the Director of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) for a decision as to whether the technology it possesses belongs to the Defense Industry Technology. The Director of the DAPA shall make a decision through a technical review and notify the applicant in writing of the result. On the other hand, as detailed procedures and standards for the decision are not stipulated, the objectivity of the decision result may deteriorate, and it is necessary to prepare a procedure suitable for the characteristics of the decision. In this study, a technology assessment procedure that can be applied to the Defense Industry Technology Decision is proposed through domestic and international technology protection regulations and case analysis. The procedure consists of three-stage: fundamental review, technical attribute review, comprehensive review. As a result of this study, it is expected that the objectivity of a technology assessment for the Technology Industry Technology Decision will be secured, and the efficiency will be improved.

  • The advent of deep learning-based algorithms has facilitated researches on target detection from synthetic aperture radar(SAR) imagery. While most of them concentrate on detection tasks for ships with open SAR ship datasets and for aircraft from SAR scenes of airports, there is relatively scarce researches on the detection of SAR ground vehicle targets where several adverse factors such as high false alarm rates, low signal-to-clutter ratios, and multiple targets in close proximity are predicted to degrade the performances. In this paper, a dataset of ground vehicle targets acquired from TerraSAR-X(TSX) satellite SAR images is presented. Then, both detection and instance segmentation are simultaneously carried out on this dataset based on the deep learning-based Mask R-CNN. Finally, this paper shows the future research directions to further improve the performances of detecting the SAR ground vehicle targets.

  • Drone based Magnetic Anomaly Detection measure a magnetic anomaly signal from the ferromagnetic target on the ground. We conduct a magnetic anomaly detection with 9 ferromagnetic targets on the ground. By removing the magnetic field measured in the absence of ferromagnetic targets from the experimental value, the magnetic anomaly signal is clearly measured at an altitude of 100 m. We analyze the signal characteristics by the ferromagnetic target through simulation using COMSOL multiphysics. The simulation results are within the GPS error range of the experimental results.

  • An infiltration technique using W-Cu composite powder has been developed to enhance microstructural uniformity of W-Cu pseudo-alloy. W-Cu composite powder, manufactured by reduction from $WO_3$ and CuO powder mixtures, were blended with W powder and then cold iso-statically pressed into a cylindrical bar under 150 MPa. The pressed samples were pre-sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour under hydrogen to make a skeleton structure. This skeleton structure was more homogeneous than that formed by using W and Cu powder mixtures. The skeleton structures were infiltrated with Cu under hydrogen atmosphere. The infiltrated W-Cu pseudo-alloy showed homogeneous microstructure without Cu rich region

  • This paper has proposed the development direction and R&D analysis approach that the diversity of defense R&D process and product should be mainly under consideration. It has shown that there is a fair possibility of the various quality assess to meet the R&D requirements in defense-based. Thus, the analysis on multiple quality elements is carried out with defense R&D characteristics. Especially, a quality management master planning based on the quality model of establishing defense R&D policy has proposed, identifying relevant quality characteristics on the R&D of weapon system and the R&D of core technology. That is, this paper is not only interested in determining an appropriate model for improving the quality of a R&D weapon system but also argued efforts in order to reap the best possible outcome and process on both the R&D of weapon system and quality of the R&D of core technology including present R&D activities.

  • The defense IT master plan is the plan for promoting defense informatization and is established by the Ministry of National Defense every five years. In addition, an implementation plan has been established in accordance with the master plan every year to promote the informatization project. However, since there is no systematic methodology to check and analyze the master plan comprehensively, it is difficult to judge whether the goals suggested in the master plan are achieved, and continuous monitoring of the project is limited. This study proposes a concept and framework for defense IT investment management and proposes a methodology for examining and analyzing the progress of the defense IT plan by referring to the U.S. Department of Defense's IT Plan and the performance management structure of the national IT master plan. As a methodology for managing defense IT investment, we propose an IT investment management code system from the perspective of an IT portfolio and verify its applicability through case studies. The results of this study are expected to improve the defense IT performance management system and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the defense IT project.

  • In order to protect the advancement of defense technology that has a tremendous e?ect on both the national security and the economy, the Republic of Korea established the Defense Technology Security Act in 2015. As the new enactment brought changes to the landscape of the defense industry and defense industrial security, a new examination of the concept of the defense industrial security has now become necessary. Even after taking into consideration the undisclosed nature of defense industrial security research, and the fact that only the limited number of firms participates in the subject matter, scientific studies related to the topic have not been active. However, with the new enactment of the Defense Technology Security Act, it is necessary to expand the scope of security and to redefine the concept of defense industrial security. In this paper, we analyzed the research works on related technology protection policies and our environment of the defense industry in order to conceptualize defense industrial security. The established concepts are expected to provide a systematic way to protect the confidential and defense technology.

  • In order for the military organization to be reborn as a high-tech science and technology strong force, science and technology that can be applied to the military is identified at the rapid development of science and technology, This should be quickly applied to military organizations, which is a growing consensus that Defense R&D planning system centered on rioters is needed to quickly acquire advanced weapons systems. In this respect, in order to successfully achieve the current government's defense policy, the high-tech weapons system necessary for national defense is required quicklyIt is necessary to closely examine defense planning, systems, organizations, and functions to develop into a high-tech science and technology military to link from raising to acquiring, and to reorganize the power enhancement and operation system. Therefore, this study proposes a high-efficiency defense operation system that combines advanced science and technology by Korean military organizations through "Defense Innovation 4.0", and we hope that follow-up research will be conducted following this study.
