The defense M&S system, which has been classified as a weapon system between requirements determination and project implementation, is being developed by applying the weapon system development procedure of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration. The M&S system abstracts and models the real world to suit the intended use and proceeds with the process of developing it as a software-oriented system. Overseas, the conceptual model development stage is staged before entering the design stage after the requirements analysis. In addition, each step includes verification and validation processes. In Korea, while establishing and applying the weapon system development procedure based on the SE process, the M&S system is also applied in the same way as the general weapon system, limiting appropriate development outputs and verification and validation. In this study, the system development procedure of the M&S system is established and presented based on the relevant standards and SE process of developed countries.

항공우주 시스템 개발에 있어 M&S (Modeling and Simulation)의 광범위한 사용이 보편화되고 있고 인증(Certification) 혹은 인정 (Accreditation)을 통해 부적절한 M&S의 사용으로 인한 사고나 위험을 제도적으로 방지하려는 노력이 있어 왔다. 본 연구는 이와 관련된 M&S의 VV&A (Verification, Validation, and Accreditation) 활동을 다루었다. 항공우주 M&S는 항공우주시스템 개발에 활용을 목적으로 하고 대부분 물리법칙 기반의 모델링 기법을 사용한다. 또한, 시제제작 후 검증용 데이터가 비행시험을 통해 최종 확보된다는 점에서 여타의 M&S와는 다른 접근방법이 필요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 특성을 고려하여 M&S 개발과 VV&A의 시작점이라 할 수 있는 항공우주 시스템 개발에 적합한 M&S의 수명주기 모델과 개발 패러다임을 다양한 문헌 연구를 토대로 제안하였다.

A large sample (1090) of randomly selected early childhood education professionals and government officials rated each of the 133 standards of "A Model for Institutional Accreditation for Early Childhood Education and Care"(Yang, 1999) on a scale of 1 (least important) to 5 (most important). Findings were that all kindergartens and child care centers should be evaluated for accreditation every 3 years with 3-6 months for self-study and on-site validation visits by representatives of the appropritates agencies for 1-2 days. Evaluation results are should be used by institution personnel as a guide to self-supervision, by government officials as a funding standard and by parents as criteria of program quality. Essential accreditation standards included: facilities and equipment; curriculum; nutrition, health and safety; administration and management; and support systems. Safety and teacher-child interactions were most highly rated while parent involvement was not highly rated.

무기체계 연구개발 시, 실제 환경에서의 기간, 안전, 비용 등의 사유로 시험평가가 제한되는 항목에 대해 M&S(Modeling and Simulation)를 활용하여 시험평가를 실시할 수 있다. 이때 시험평가용 M&S의 신뢰성(credibility) 확보를 위해 VV&A(Verification, Validation and Accreditation) 활동이 요구된다. 최근 무기체계의 연구개발 경향이 첨단화됨에 따라 M&S 활용과 이에 따른 VV&A 활동도 증가되고 있다. VV&A 활동이란 시험평가용 M&S가 실체계의 모습대로 구현되고, 사용 목적과 의도에 대한 신뢰성이 보장되었는지 검증(verification), 확인(validation)하여, 인정(accreditation)하는 것이다. VV&A 활동은 V&V(Verification & Validation)와 인정 활동으로 나뉜다. 국방과학연구소(이하, 국과연)에서 시험평가용 M&S의 VV&A를 수행할 시, V&V 활동을 수행하는 V&V에이전트는 국과연의 별도부서가 수행하고 인정 활동을 수행하는 인정(A)에이전트는 기품원이 수행한다. 본 논문은 현재까지 국과연에서 V&V에이전트로 수행한 시험평가용 M&S VV&A에 적용된 V&V 활동 프로세스 적립 결과를 소개한다. 이는 시험평가용 M&S의 개발과정에서 산출되는 각종 문서 및 개발 자료 등을 인정평가 항목의 관점에 따라 검증 및 확인을 하여, 인정판정 및 수락기준 충족여부를 판단할 수 있는 객관적인 근거 자료를 만들기 위해 수행한 프로세스이다.

With the increased reliance on M & S(Modeling & Simulation) in military training, defense analysis, and system acquisition. The credibility of M & S becomes even more critical issue in the M & S application community. In this paper, we have introduced the VV & A(Verification, Validation and Accreditation) concept of M & S for the assurance of its credibility, and proposed the VV & A model applicable to a military simulator development with the illustrative example of MSAM(Medium range-Surface to Air Missile) system simulator.

In this paper, we identify the characteristics of modeling and simulation (M&S) for military and defense and propose the method of verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) using the identified characteristics. M&S has been widely used for many different applications in military and defense, including training, analysis, and acquisition. Various methods and processes of VV&A have been proposed by researchers and M&S practitioners to guarantee the correctness of M&S. The notion of applying formal credibility assessment in VV&A originated in software engineering reliability testing and the systems engineering development process. However, the VV&A techniques and processes proposed for M&S by the research community have not addressed the characteristics and issues specific to military and defense. We first identify the characteristics and issues of military/defense M&S and then propose techniques and methods for VV&A that are specific for military/defense M&S. Possible approaches for the development of VV&A are also proposed.

Modern weapon systems are getting more complex in terms of the functionality and also the conditions on the environment and range in which they are deployed and used. Therefore, many development programs can easily be exposed to a variety of risks, resulting in delayed schedules and cost overrun. As such, effective means are necessary to keep the defence budget at an affordable level while competitive edges on technological aspects are retained. As one way to meet those need, modeling and simulation (M&S) methods have widely been used, particularly in the test and evaluation (T&E) process for weapon systems development. The result of M&S-based systems development should be evaluated by the verification, validation & accreditation (VV&A) process to assure keeping reliability at a desired level. On the other hand, due to the explosiveness, the weapons systems development naturally requires to consider safety issues in both the T&E and operational periods. The purpose of this paper is to improve the VV&A process by reflecting the safety requirements therein. To do so, the VV&A process has been analyzed and graphically modeled first and then safety elements have been incorporated effectively. The use of the improved process in the war ships development has also been discussed. Based on the process proposed and the consequent database constructed, the target system can be expected to benefit from reducing development risks while assuring systems safety.

Objectives : The aim of this research was to develop evaluation indicators that ensure safe services and enhance the quality of small-sized dental hospitals within local communities to prepare for the dental hospital accreditation system. Methods : Materials and data from a total of 460 respondents were analyzed after quality improvement indicators were formed by surveying experts and studying documents in Korea and abroad, and by conducting a survey from August 21, 2013 to September 30, 2013 for validation purposes. Results : Based on the results of factor analysis. all measured items appeared to be statistically significant with a factor loading score of at least 0.5, and the correlation between the factors all appeared to be high as well. The goodness-of-fit for the model also appeared to be within the recommended acceptance level. Thus, the proposed evaluation indicators for dental hospital accreditation developed in this study consisted of a total of seven major category factors and a total of 91 detailed items. Conclusions : Furthermore, the results suggest that the evaluation indicators can be used to improve the quality and to ensure the safe services of dental hospitals in local communities.

M&S 결과의 신뢰도를 확보하기 위한 방법으로, 선진국을 중심으로 개발된 VV&A(검증 확인 및 인정) 절차가 국내에도 소개되어 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. VV&A는 가용한 자원과 필요에 따라 그 절차를 선택적으로 적용하도록 가이드라인에 명시되어 있고, 방위사업청 무기체계 개발에 VV&A 관한 규정에도 인정(A)은 필요시 수행하도록 권고하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 V&V 절차를 소개하고, 이를 통해 무기체계 M&S 도구에 대한 신뢰도를 확보할 수 있는 방안에 대해 서술하였다. 또한 체계개발 중인 보병용 중거리 유도무기 '현궁'의 체계통합시뮬레이터에 V&V 절차를 적용하여 신뢰도를 확보한 사례를 제시하였다.

Model verification, validation and accreditation (VV&A) of system simulation are detailedly discussed in this paper. The necessity of VV&A is explained by analyzing the factors on which the model and the reality are discrepant. The W&A technology is expounded in detail not only in the conceptual aspect but also in the methodological aspect. Some principles, difficulties and problems that should be paid attention to are discussed concretely and reasonedly. The paper is expected to be instructional and helpful to the VV&A study.
