  • The SW-centered battlefield management information system R&D project takes a long period of 5-10 years or more by applying a complex and rigid batch acquisition strategy. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to institutionalize a rapid and flexible battlefield management information system R&D project management procedure applying agile development methodology, and a government project management organization and contract management method to support it In this study, we analyzed the case of applying the Agile development method centered on Scrum to the US SW-centered weapon system R&D project and the characteristics and problems of the battlefield management information system R&D project in Korea, and suggested improvement measures as follows. First, the battlefield management information system R&D model applies the hybrid development method, and the system requirements analysis and system structure design use the existing waterfall development procedure, and the agile method is applied from the SW requirements analysis to the system integration stage. Second, flexible adjustment of performance, schedule, and cost by organizing an Agile IPT in which military (requirements) - DAPA (project management) - developer - functional specialized organizations (test and evaluation, quality, government research institutes, etc.) participate. Third, improving the Basic Order Agreement so that it can be applied to agile R&D.

  • A battlefield simulation is the evaluation and analysis of the battlefield area, based on the data for terrain, climate, unit's maneuver and tactics basically required in battlefield simulation. Because it is difficult for the military authorities to collect all of the information perfectly for the reason of communication technology, jamming, and tactics, the military authorities need the future moving status for the target units by using acquired moving information. Therefore, we propose a moving object management system that concurrently provides domain reasoning function for the battlefield simulation. In order to implement the proposed system, we show the data modeling of the moving object for the battlefield simulation, and propose an inference engine using domain rule base and spatiotemporal operation. Also, we analyze the query response rate by inference function to verify domain reasoning of the implemented system.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel behavioral model that explains the use of the military battlefield management system more effectively in the non-voluntary use environment. This study intends to suggest a model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(UTAUT), an extended TAM. Also, it introduces the concept of 'Conative IS use' as a dependent variable that can explain user's behavior more effectively in non-voluntary technology acceptance environment. In addition, we propose the major factors affecting the UTAUT components from the TOE(Technology-Organization-Environment) perspectives, and analyze their effects. In order to validate the proposed model, this study applies PLS(Partial Least Squares) to the survey collected from military personnel. The findings of our study may shed a light on improving the effectiveness of battlefield management information system.

  • In the era of Fourth Industrial Revolution, secure networking technology is playing an essential role in the defense weapon systems. Encryption technology is used for information security. The safety of cryptographic technology, according to Kerchoff's principles, is based on secure key management of cryptographic technology, not on cryptographic algorithms. However, traditional centralized key management is one of the problematic issues in battlefield environments since the frequent movement of the forces and the time-varying quality of tactical networks. Alternatively, the system resources of each node used in the IoBT(Internet of Battlefield Things) environment are limited in size, capacity, and performance, so a lightweight key management system with less computation and complexity is needed than a conventional key management algorithm. This paper proposes a novel key escrow scheme in a lightweight manner for the IoBT environment. The safety and performance of the proposed technique are verified through numerical analysis and simulations.

  • Tactical Multiband Multirole radio(TMMR) has been developed and under some official testings now. Our army wants TMMR to be installed in Ground Fighting Vehicles(GFVs) and be incorporated with their Battlefield Management System(BMS). Also, BMS with TMMR should communicate with BMS on FM radio which is currently under use in most of GFVs. To achieve such goals, some significant changes should be made into the present BMS and in this paper, several considerations will be presented in the both sides of hardware and software point of view.

  • Interworking Web Application to share the resource between Battlefield Management Systems(BMS) is critical issues for accomplishment of information superior. However, authentication system of BMS differ from each other because of having the independent plan for system build. This problem causes inefficiency such as the information insufficiency owing to not share web application and the need of additional laptops. To solve the problem, in this paper, we propose the improved certificate acquisition and verification algorithm for the user of different BMS. By testing the proposed algorithm appling to the real field, we verify the performance of proposed method.

  • Modern Battle Fields are covered with various weapon systems, such as tanks, infantry vehicles, or artillery vehilces. In such environment, it is important to take it into consideration what kind of efficient method should be developed to communicate with heterogeneous friend combat systems for the exchange of tactical information aqcuired because military operations require coordinated actions. For this purpose, we made a research on tactical information equipments such as Battlefield Management Systems(BMSs) equipped in multiple kinds of Mobile Combat Vehicles(MCVs). The exchange of tactical information could be divieded into separate domains, such as connectivity, messages, and recognition processes by operators. In this article, we will deal with wireless radio connectivity, KVMF messages, and User Interfaces showing shared data.

  • An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a powered aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or non-lethal payload. An UAV is very important weapon system and is currently being employed in many military missions (surveillance, reconnaissance, communication relay, targeting, strike, etc.) in the war. To accomplish UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is a local path planning to maximize survivability for UAV on the battlefield of dynamic threats (obstacles, surface-to-air missiles, radar etc.). A local path planning is capable of producing a new path in response to environmental changes. This study suggests a $Smart$ $A^*$ (Smart A-star) algorithm for local path planning. The local path planned by $Smart$ $A^*$ algorithm is compared with the results of existing algorithms ($A^*$ $Replanner$, $D^*$) and evaluated performance of $Smart$ $A^*$ algorithm. The result of suggested algorithm gives the better solutions when compared with existing algorithms.

  • The Ministry of National Defense announced 'Defense Reform 2.0' that aims to strengthen the country's security for decrease of regional uncertainties, growing requirements for advanced technologies, and a need for more efficiency in the Republic of Korea(RoK) Armed Forces this year. It said RoK Armed Forces have to change efficiently in preparation for rapid decline in military service resources as demographic cliff turning into reality, and the rapid evolution of the "battlefield environment" caused by developments in military science and technologies. RoK Navy combat Management System(CMS) made by domestic proprietary technology since 2000s and development centered on Agency for Defense Development require design changes for added requirements. So in this paper, I propose method of design a low cost and high efficiency navy CMS architecture based on high performance server and virtualization technology. And I create a test environment for analysis performance and compare the performance of proposed navy CMS and existing navy CMS.
