Abstract

The purpose of this study is to derive the need to improve the test and evaluation(T&E) performance system of the weapon systems to which advanced science and technology is applied, evaluate priorities, and present development plans. T&E of Al-based weapon systems through a literature research and case analysis on changes in the T&E environment for weapon system, 11 detailed evaluation items were derived from the in terms of the T&E system, structure, and technology. Al-based weapon system test evaluation should be performed in parallel with data-based performance evaluation and actual T&E, and performance measurement using a separate T&E data set is required for AI models performance evaluation. As a result of analyzing the importance of T&E through AHP analysis, the order of T&E system-technology-structure was evaluated, and the priority of detailed evaluation items was evaluated in the order of T&E result judgment-T&E organization and expert training-scientific T&E. For evaluation items with high priority, measures to improve the T&E performance system were presented.

본 연구는 첨단 과학기술이 적용된 무기체계 시험평가 수행체계 개선 소요를 도출하고 우선순위를 평가하여 발전방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 무기체계 시험평가 환경변화에 대한 문헌연구와 사례분석을 통해 AI 기반 무기체계의 시험평가 발전방안과 시험평가 제도·구조·기술적 측면에서 11개의 세부 평가항목을 도출하였다. AI 기반 무기체계 시험평가는 데이터 기반 성능평가와 실물에 의한 시험평가를 병행해야 하며, 별도의 데이터셋을 활용한 성능측정이 필요하다. AHP 분석을 통해 시험평가의 중요도를 분석한 결과, 시험평가 제도-기술-구조 순이며, 세부 평가항목의 우선순위는 시험평가 결과판정-시험평가 조직 및 전문가 양성-과학적 시험평가 순으로 평가되었다. 우선순위가 높은 평가항목에 대하여 시험평가 수행체계 개선방안을 제시하였다.
