  • The interest of global competitiveness for national defense industry. This study analyzes the efficiency and productivity of 45 defense companies in each continent(North America, Europe and Northeast Asia, etc.), including Korea defense companies. It is analyzed by Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Analysis over the period 2009-2013(5 years). The sample companies has been selected on the data avilability among the SIPRI Top 100 arms-producing and military services companies in the world(excluding China) in 2013. It extracts the relative efficiency and Malmquist productivity index of companies and each continent. Based on the DEA and MPI results, this paper estimates the global competitiveness and position of national defense industry and extracts implication. This study can be utilized for improvement of national defense industry and policy planning for cultivating the national defense companies.

  • The United States has built a missile defense system from the Cold War era, but since the end of the Cold War era, there have been many changes in international situation and threats. The forces of power divided between the United States and the Soviet Union have become increasingly threatened by China's willingness to expand its external influence, declaration of strong Russia and North Korea and Iran's nuclear armament and advanced ballistic missile technology. In response to this threat change, the Missile Defense Agency(MDA) has established strategies and policies, but its parent law has not been revised. United States changed to the FY2017 National Defense Authorization Act (FY2017 NDAA) including changed missile defense strategy. In this paper, I check US ballistic missile defense strategies included in the FY2017 NDAA and compare what changes have been made in existing strategies.

  • Defense priming allows plants to enhance their immune responses to subsequent pathogen challenges. Recent reports suggested that acquired resistances in parental generation can be inherited into descendants. Although epigenetic mechanisms are plausible tools enabling the transmission of information or phenotypic traits induced by environmental cues across generations, the mechanism for the transgenerational inheritance of defense priming in plants has yet to be elucidated. With the initial aim to elucidate an epigenetic mechanism for the defense priming in plants, we reassessed the transgenerational inheritance of plant defense, however, could not observe any evidence supporting it. By using the same dipping method with previous reports, Arabidopsis was exposed repeatedly to Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) during vegetative or reproductive stages. Irrespective of the developmental stages of parental plants that received pathogen infection, the descendants did not exhibit primed resistance phenotypes, defense marker gene (PR1) expression, or elevated histone acetylation within PR1 chromatin. In assays using the pressure-infiltration method for infection, we obtained the same results as above. Thus, our results suggest that the previous observations on the transgenerational inheritance of defense priming in plants should be more extensively and carefully reassessed.

  • The development of local defense parts has played a role a pure function such as maintenance of stable procurement source of military goods, provision of timely supply, establishment of self-defense base, creation of import substitution effect considering the whole life-cycle cost, reduction of foreign currency and protection of domestic defense industry. However, as the development success rate is deteriorating, it is time to analyze the related policies and improve the system. In order to improve the success rate of development of parts for the defense sector, it is necessary to unify the separated policies by the development-related departments and strengthen the policy support for the development companies to actively participate in the development. In addition, it is necessary to improve the paradigm for the selection of development items and change the authority of selecting development items and to delegate authority to create synergies. Parts localization development policy improvement is military support side it will contribute to strengthening defense power management by organically combining with technological development aspect and economical aspect. Development items will be linked to defense exports, which will have a remarkable effect on sales growth and job creation effects. The development of local defense parts is spreading.

  • 소프트웨어 제품의 활용 범위가 늘어나면서 품질의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이에 따라 ISO/IEC 9126 품질모델과 ISO/IEC 14598 소프트웨어 제품 평가모델에 대한 표준이 발표되었다. 하지만, 대부분 소프트웨어 개발 사업에서는 결함사항 위주로 품질관리를 하고 있으며 표준모델은 미적용 되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 국방 CBD 방법론을 기반으로 표준 소프트웨어 품질모델 및 제품 평가모델을 이용한 품질평가 프로세스를 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국방 CBD 방법론 산출물의 품질평가 모델과 품질평가 프로세스를 정의하고 평가활동 단계별 산출물을 제시한다. 또한 소규모 시범사업에 적용을 통하여 제안된 모델의 적절성을 검증하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과가 국방 CBD 방법론 기반 소프트웨어의 품질관리 활동에 적용이 기대된다.

  • In Korean peninsular, Air Defense with SAM(Surface-to-Air Missile) is very important, because of threatening by North Korea's theater ballistic missiles installed with nuclear or biochemistry. Effective and successful defense operation largely depends on two factors, SAM's location and the number of SAM for each target based on missile's availability in each SAM's location. However, most previous papers have handled only the former. In this paper, we developed Multi-heuristic algorithm which can handle both factors simultaneously for solving allocation problem of the batteries and missile assignment problem in each battery. To solve allocation problem, genetic algorithm is used to decide location of the batteries. To solve missile assignment problem, a heuristic algorithm is applied to determine the number of SAM for each target. If the proposed model is applied to allocation of SAM, it will improve the effectiveness of missile defense operations.

  • The purpose of the present study is to examine relationships between disconnection and rejection schema, defense mechanism, and mental health in college students using structural equation modeling. The present study suggested a proposed model in which defense mechanism exerted a full mediating effect on the relation between disconnection and rejection schema and mental health. Goodness of fit tests were used to compare the proposed model against competing models. The subjects consisted of 304 college students. They completed the Young Schema Questionnaire(YSQ-SF), the Defense Style Questionnaire(DSQ), and the Mental Health Scale. The results showed that the second model had a better goodness of fit. Based on these findings, it is suggested that psychological interventions for mental health in college students should consider strategies to use more flexible and more adaptive defense mechanism style.

  • This paper deals with the improvement of defense codification system for the items of defense supplies. We review other country's codification systems, their concept and trend of the systems for development, and then apply the ideas to our defense codification system. The proposal for improvement of defense codification system consists of three parts. The first one is the aspect of policy, the second one is the aspect of organization, and the last one is the aspect of operation. This paper will be contributed to the development of national codification system, and defense logistics management.

  • Although defense standardization is recently becoming more and more active, there are still many obstacles to achieve attainments as planned. On the other hand, national standardization already has been applied as a mandatory rule in the overall industries and R&D programs and is well supported by systematic and specialized national basis. Furthermore, advanced countries, such as U.S.A., England and NATO, are considering defense standardization as a essential element to achieve low cost and highly efficient acquisition system and to enhance interoperability among the allied forces. This study aims to form public opinion in support of importance of defense standardization and to provide the vision and various implementation tasks for improving defense standardization outcome.
