As the role of high-value air assets(e.g., AWACS, JSTARS, Rivet Joint, E-2) becomes more critical in modern warfare, the air escort for these assets blocking attacks from any potential enemy fighter also becomes vital. Without the escort, the operations of the assets become restricted. However, such an escort is not always possible due to the limited flight time of the escort fighters. In this paper, we introduce an escort tactics for high-value air assets performed by the manned-unmanned teaming composed of a transport aircraft and UAVs(unmanned aerial vehicles). In this tactics, the transport aircraft plays the role of an aircraft carrier, which carries, launches, and retrieves the UAVs. The missions of UAVs in this tactics are to detect and engage enemy fighters. We also introduce the simulation result of this tactics to identify the UAVs' required capabilities and optimal maneuvering.

The purpose of this study is to develop a systematic framework that can scientifically and quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of an LVC training system. The proposed framework is based on QFD(Quality Function Development) methodology. The process of developing the framework begins with identifying various needs of stakeholders related to the introduction of the LVC training system. Then the effectiveness areas and factors are derived based on the needs. The measured effectiveness for each factors on alternatives by L, V, C systems are finally synthesized into the one overall effectiveness of each training system for relative comparison among them. In addition, we developed an Excel$^{TM}$-based tool based on the proposed framework methodology to provide an ease-of-use environment for rapid evaluation on the effectiveness of each training system with the given stakeholder need importance combinations, training scenarios and assets. The suggested framework and the measurement tool are expected to be useful for efficient knowledge-based decision making on an acquisition of the LVC training system.

In this study, a nondestructive test (NDT) is performed to inspect the optimal design of a ground tracked combat vehicle for self-propelled artillery, tank, and armored vehicles. The minimum qualification required for personnel performing the NDT of a ground tracked combat vehicle was initially established in US military standards, and then applied to the Korean defense specifications to develop a ground tracked combat vehicle. However, the qualification standards of an NDT inspector have been integrated into NAS410 through the military and commercial specifications unification project that were applied in the existing aerospace/defense industry public standard. The design method for this study was verified by applying the optimal design to the liquid penetrant testing Al forging used in self-propelled artillery. This confirmed the reliability and soundness of the product.

As tactical networks are gradually shifting toward IP-based flexible operation for diversified battlefield services, QoS(Quality-of-Service) coordination for service differentiation becomes essential to overcome the heterogeneous and scarce networking resources limitations. QoS coordination for tactical network traffic should be able to monitor and react the dynamic changes in underlying network topology and service priorities. In this paper, by adopting the emerging cloud-native service mesh concept into tactical network context, we study the feasibility of intelligent QoS coordination by employing tactical service mesh(TSM) as an additional layer to support enhanced traffic quality monitoring and control. The additional TSM layer can leverage distributed service-mesh proxies at tactical mesh WAN(Wide Area Network) nodes so that service-aware differentiated QoS coordination can be effectively designed and integrated with TSM-assisted traffic monitoring and control. Also, by validating the feasibility of TSM layer for QoS coordination with miniaturized experimental setup, we show the potential of the proposed approach with several approximated battlefield traffics over a simulated TSM-enabled tactical network.

Recently, as weapon systems have become more complex and multi-functional, the difficulty of the operation and maintenance of weapon systems in the military have become increasingly difficult. On the other hand, the service period of operations and maintenance workers who perform operations and maintenance has been shortened, and the skill of system operation and maintenance has been lowered. This complexity and multi-functionality of equipment cause malfunctions and errors of users and maintenance personnel, and degradation of the reliability affects availability and combat readiness. In addition, life cycle costs have been gradually increasing. Therefore, I would like to suggest an improvement plan of the design of weapon systems and ILS (Integrated Logistics Support) in order to examine the implications of failure in the military. The weapon system is operated in the ROK Navy. Data from 730 cases of failure of weapon systems was collected, and analyzed. The results of the analysis are classified into failures that can be prevented in advance and failures that cannot be prevented. This shows the portion of preventable failures in weapon systems and proposes measures to minimize failures.

Air force air-to-air combat tactics are occurring at a high speed in three-dimensional space. The specification of the tactics requires dealing with a quite amount of information, which makes it a challenge to accurately describe the maneuvering procedure of the tactics. The specification of air-to-air tactics using natural languages is not suitable because of the intrinsic ambiguity of natural languages. Therefore, this paper proposes an approach of using UML Sequence Diagram to describe air-to-air combat tactics. Since the current Sequence Diagram notation is not sufficient to express all aspects of the tactics, we extend the syntax of the Sequence Diagram to accommodate the required features of air-to-air combat tactics. We evaluate the applicability of the extended Sequence Diagram to air-to-air combat tactics using a case example, that is the manned-unmanned teaming combat tactic. The result shows that Sequence Diagram specification is more advantageous than natural language specification in terms of readability, conciseness, and accuracy. However, the expressiveness of the Sequence Diagram is evaluated to be less powerful than natural language, requiring further study to address this issue.

In order for a machine, especially used in the defense industry, to consistently operate during its life-time, lots of study has been done in machine design as well as machine maintenance. However, the realistic study is necessary in management and operation of a military support facility, where spare parts are stored and retrieved. In this paper, efficient arrangement of spare parts are proposed to acquire increased in efficiency and decreased in cost for operation management of the military support facility. First, spare parts is assorted by MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure) and divided in to three groups A/B/C as an alternative arrangement. Each defined alternatives will go under simulations and RULA(Rapid Upper Limb Assessment), which is posture classification scheme evaluation attributes, to find working time and posture difficulty and lastly by entropy measurement to be selected. This research proposes the efficient spare parts arrangement in military support facility to minimize working time and posture difficulty. By taking system and human engineering approach together into consideration, it will lead to show a specific value.
