Advanced technoloigy, according to the development of science, is also applied to weapons systems to prepare for future battles. But the emergence of new technologies leads to DMSMS(Diminishing Manufacturing Source and Material Shortage) because it brings a short life cycle of parts. In particular, DMSMS frequently appear in electronic parts with a short launch cycle for new products. The life support system of K2MBT(Main Battle Tank) is a key functional item related to crew survivability and convenience. Recently, various parts have been cut off on the life support system, requiring a redesign of the Control Box. The K2MBT is not only central to domestic production but also plays a key role in export projects to countries like Poland, making continuous production necessary. This study aimed to ensure the sustainability of component production and reduce maintenance costs by redesigning the control box.

In contemporary global warfare, the significance and imperative of air transportation have been steadily growing. The Republic of Korea Air Force currently operates only light and medium-sized military cargo planes, but does not have a heavy one. The current air transportation capability is limited to meet various present and future air transport needs due to lack of performance such as payload, range, cruise speed and altitude. The problem of population cliffs and lack of airplane parking space must also be addressed. These problems can be solved through the introduction of heavy cargo planes. Until now, most studies on the need of heavy cargo plane and increasing air transport capability have focused on the necessity. Some of them suggested specific quantity and model but have not provided scientific evidence. In this study, the appropriate ratio of heavy cargo plane suitable for the Korea's national power was calculated using principal component analysis and cluster analysis. In addition, an optimization model was established to maximize air transport capability considering realistic constraints. Finally we analyze the results of optimization model and compare two alternatives for force structure.

In contemporary global warfare, the significance and imperative of air transportation have been steadily growing. Nevertheless, the Korean Air Force currently operates only with small and medium-sized military cargo planes, lacking larger aircraft. Consequently, the efficiency of their operations is constrained by the limited air transport capacity and the aging of their existing fleet, among other factors. Therefore, we have to consider to make future air transportation capability. Although the 2nd large-sized cargo-plane acquisition project is ongoing, its quantity is very small. In this study, we propose an optimal prediction model that takes into account practical constraints such as parking space availability, pilot availability, wartime daily maximum loads, while simultaneously maximizing both the effectiveness and efficiency of transport capacity for future warfare envirionment.

Despite the presence of the p-Channel MOSFET inrush current limiter circuit within the power supply unit of military radar, The internal MOSFET and DC-DC Converter has been damaged due to the high inrush current. In this paper, the cause of the high inrush current was identified by analyzing the p-Channel MOSFET inrush current limiter circuit. Based on the analysis, the high inrush current was reduced by about 60% by adjusting the time constant of the source-to-gate elements compared to before improvement.

In this paper, the EMP-related standards and test methods used by the civilian and military have been introduced. The incoming EMP signal for seven military RF antennas which are the first to face EMP threats among military weapon systems have been also measured and analyzed. Overall, as the applied signal strength increased, the strength of the EMP signal entering in the antenna also showed an upward trend. The highest level of entering was observed at the peak value of the applied EMP signal, 50 kV/m. And at the peak value, all antennas received threatening signals. In particular, antennas in low frequency bands such as AM and FM were getting high voltage signals as high as thousands of volts. This means that the weapon systems linked to the antennas could suffer severe damage. Therefore, based on this paper, systematic research for EMP threat should be conducted to identify EMP vulnerabilities of major weapons systems and to devise practical protective measures.

This study deals with improvement plans and application results to improve the safety of secondary batteries and chargers applied to Tactical Multi-band Multi-role Radio(TMMR), a new military communication equipment. Due to the nature of the portable weapon system, the terminal structure and manufacturing process of the battery and charger were improved to strengthen resistance to vibration and shock generated during movement, and the battery structure was partially changed to secure resistance to mechanical shock generated when the charger was coupled. In addition, retrospective application was completed for all secondary batteries and chargers previously delivered for TMMR, helping the Korean military to operate next-generation radios in a safer environment.

Military aircraft R&D projects require large-scale investment in cost and time, and involve a complex coordination process in decision-making. The R&D project manager should determine the development management priorities as accurately as possible and focus on R&D capabilities, thereby reducing the risks of the aircraft R&D project. To this end, this study aims to reduce R&D risk by prioritizing cost, schedule, and performance, which are basic management factors used in R&D project management in defense project management regulations. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied using a questionnaire for managers in charge of aviation R&D under the Defense Acquisition Program Administration. As a primary result, the importance of the factors that the aircraft R&D project manager should consider was derived in the order of performance, cost, and schedule, and the priorities of performance and cost in the lower layer were also identified. In addition, in order to provide practical risk management measures to aircraft R&D project managers, the results of analyzing 28 cases of US National Transportation Safety Board accidents were compared and analyzed with the AHP analysis results, and management measures suitable for the situation were specified.

In this paper, we introduce a pilot's scheduling model which is able to maintain and balance their capabilities for each relevant skill level in military helicopter squadron. Flight scheduler has to consider many factors related pilot's flight information and spends a lot of times and efforts for flight planning without scientific process depending on his/her own capability and experience. This model reflected overall characteristics that include pilot's progression by basis monthly and cumulative flight hours, operational recent flight data and quickly find out a pinpoint areas of concern with respect to their mission subjects etc. There also include essential several constraints, such as personnel qualifications, and Army helicopter training policy’s constraints such as regulations and guidelines. We presented binary Integer Programming (IP) mathematical formulation for optimization and demonstrated its effectiveness by comparisons of real schedule versus model's solution to several cases experimental scenarios and greedy random simulation model. The model made the schedule in less than 30 minutes, including the data preprocessing process, and the results of the allocation were more equal than the actual one. This makes it possible to reduce the workload of the scheduler and effectively manages the pilot's skills. We expect to set up and improve better flight planning and combat readiness in Korea Army aviation.

This research was performed to examined the applicability of a fixed-biofilm process for the wastewater treatment of military installations. Utilizing plastic net media, synthetic wastewater-average $BOD_5$ cocentration was $192mg/l$ treated in the three sets of reactors that have 8 hours, 6 hours, and 4 hours of hydraulic retention time. The results of this experiment showed that the biofilm was not detached easily, and the reactor was not closed by excess biomass. The average soluble $BOD_5$ concentrations of effluent were $6.0mg/l$ with 8 hours of retention time, $11.3mg/l$ with 6 hours of retention time, and $19.4mg/l$ with 4 hours of retention time. Especially it was reduced to $5.7mg/l$ in the second stage reactor with 4 hours of retention time. These resulted that the fixed-biofilm process could be adapted for the treatment of military installation wastewater.
