Cyber Mission Impact Assessment is one of the essential tasks which many militaries and industrial major companies should perform to effectively achieve their mission. The unexpected damage to an organization's assets results in damage to the whole system's performance of the organizations. In order to minimize the damage, it is necessary to quantify the available capacity of the mission, which can be achieved only with the remaining assets, and to immediately prepare a new second best plan in a moment. We therefore need to estimate the exact cyber attack's impact to the mission when the unwanted damage occurs by modeling the relationship between the assets and the missions. In this paper, we propose a new model which deals with the dependencies between assets and missions for obtaining the exact impact of a cyber attack. The proposed model distinguishes task management from asset management for an efficient process, and it is implemented to be optimized using a vectorized operation for parallel processing and using a buffer to reduce the computation time.

Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) has the hybrid mission of meteorological observation, ocean monitoring, and telecommunication service. The COMS is located at $128.2^{\circ}$ East longitude on the geostationary orbit and currently under normal operation service since April 2011. For the sake of the executions of the meteorological and the ocean mission as well as the satellite control and management, the satellite mission planning is daily performed. The satellite mission plans are sent to the satellite by the real-time operation and the satellite executes the missions as per the mission plans. In this paper the mission planning for COMS normal operation is discussed in terms of the ground station configuration and the characteristics of daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal mission planning activities. The successful mission planning is also confirmed with the first one-year normal operation results.

In this paper, we address a task allocation problem for a robot team that performs a search and attack mission. The robots are limited in sensing and communication capabilities, and carry different types of resources that are used to attack a target. The environment is uncertain and dynamic where no prior information about targets is given and dynamic events unpredictably happen. The goal of robot team is to collect total utilities as much as possible by destroying targets in a mission horizon. To solve the problem, we propose a distributed task allocation framework incorporated with effective resource management based on resource welfare. The framework we propose enables the robot team to retain more robots available by balancing resources among robots, and respond smoothly to dynamic events, which results in system performance improvement.

In this paper, we report the results of a conceptual study to develop of a multi-purpose medium-sized UAV that can safely perform missions in harsh maritime environments. In this study, we focused on developing UAVs capable of performing three maritime missions that urgently require the application of medium-sized UAVs: marine ecosystem management, ocean surveillance system, and response to marine accidents. Furthermore improvement points for the above three naval missions using medium-sized UAVs were derived in preparation for the problems of the existing mission performance. Finally, by developing and analyzing the utilization scenario of the medium-class UAV, the required performance suitable for each mission was defined and assigned to the related mission equipment, A new maritime management plan was proposed using the medium-class UAV system equipped with replaceable mission equipment.

The Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite-2 (KOMPSAT -2) will be launched into a circular sun synchronous orbit in Dec. 2005. For the mission operation of the KOMPSAT-2 satellite, KARl Ground Station (KGS) consists of the Mission Control Elements (MCE), Image Reception & Processing Elements (IRPE) and the overseas stations. For the oversea stations, the Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) is the prime supplier of support service. KSAT has the capability to provide Tracking Telemetry and Commanding (TT&C) nominal, contingency and anomaly support for every single orbit for most polar orbiting satellites. Also KSAT provides nodal service through the network management functionality for all oversea ground stations. This paper describes the oversea stations and the support for Launch and nominal TT&C services for KOMPSAT-2 and the operation plan for KOMPSAT-2.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in auto workers of a mission assembly plants. Background: Most studies of musculoskeletal disorders have used car assembly line workers as their participants. However, little research has been done on musculoskeletal disorders afflictions of mission assembly line workers. Method: Through a focus group interview with an ergonomist and a manager at a mission assembly plant site, a questionnaire was developed for musculoskeletal disorders. The questionnaire consisted of five parts, demographic factors, musculoskeletal disorder symptoms, and musculoskeletal disorder experiences; 137 workers participated in this survey. The surveys were analyzed by correlation and Chi-squared analysis. Results: Musculoskeletal disorder symptoms and serious pain were reported in the neck, shoulder, back, and fingers. These problems were statistically related to various demographic factors, such as age, stature, stretching, and work satisfaction. Conclusion: Treatment of musculoskeletal disorders should consider the workers' traits. If there is no specific cause of the pain, developing stretches and exercises before and after work should be applied to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Application: The results of this study can be used to develop guidelines to prevent injury in auto workers at mission assembly plants.

This study first analyzes the necessity and the validity of procuring nuclear-powered submarines, and presents an optimization model as an integer program to determine a minimum required level of them. For an optimization model, we characterize a submarine's mission, ability and availability, and apply these to the model by constraints. Then, we assign the submarines available currently and the nuclear-powered submarines, that will be newly introduced, to the predefined missions over the planning time periods in a way that the number of nuclear-powered submarines be minimized. Randomly generated missions are employed to solve a mission assignment problem, and the results show that our integer programming model provides an optimal solution as designed, and this can provide a guideline for other weapon system procurement processes.

This study presents a mission management technique that is a key component of underwater docking system used to expand the operating range of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). We analyzed the docking scenario and AUV operating environment, defining the feasible initial area (FIA) level, event level, and global path (GP) command to improve the rate of docking success and AUV safety. Non-holonomic constraints, mounted sensor characteristic, AUV and mission state, and AUV behavior were considered. Using AUV and docking station, we conducted experiments on land and at sea. The first test was conducted on land to prevent loss and damage of the AUV and verify stability and interconnection with other algorithms; it performed well in normal and abnormal situations. Subsequently, we attempted to dock under the sea and verified its performance; it also worked well in a sea environment. In this study, we presented the mission management technique and showed its performance. We demonstrated AUV docking with this algorithm and verified that the rate of docking success was higher compared to those obtained in other studies.
