Abstract

This study explores the application of Mission Engineering, a concept and methodology adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, to the Republic of Korea's defense planning and management system in response to the rapidly changing security environment. Through literature review, analysis of prior research and case studies, and focus group interviews (FGI), key elements of Mission Engineering were derived. Based on these findings, improvements for the ROK military's requirements planning and rapid acquisition system were proposed. As a result, three critical elements for applying Mission Engineering were identified: operational concepts, required capabilities, and acquisition. Suggestions for improvement include transitioning to a mission-oriented requirements planning system, applying Mission Engineering methodology when formulating operational concepts, supporting decision-making to shorten acquisition timelines, allocating budgets for rapid acquisition, and strengthening the capabilities of requirement-setting units. This study confirms the necessity and applicability of Mission Engineering and is expected to serve as a foundation for the future development of the defense planning and management system.

본 연구는 급변하는 안보환경에 대응하기 위해 미국에서 적용 중인 임무공학(Mission Engineering) 개념과 방법론을 한국의 국방기획관리체계에 도입하는 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 문헌연구와 선행연구 분석, 사례분석, 심층그룹인터뷰(FGI) 등을 통해 임무공학의 핵심요소를 도출하고, 이를 바탕으로 한국군의 소요기획과 신속 획득체계 개선방안을 제시하였다. 연구 결과, 운용개념, 요구성능(능력), 획득이 임무공학 적용을 위한 3대 핵심요소로 식별되었다. 개선방안으로는 임무 중심의 소요기획 체계로의 전환, 운용개념 작성 시 임무공학 방법론 적용, 의사결정 지원을 통한 획득기간 단축, 신속 획득을 위한 예산 배정 및 소요군 역량 강화 등이 제안되었다. 본 연구는 임무공학의 필요성과 적용 가능성을 확인하고, 향후 국방기획관리체계 발전을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
