South Korea suggest that the United States government should delay the date to hand over wartime operational control (OPCON). It is fixed on December 1, 2015. Typically the president's position as head of the executive authority is coming from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Now we should know the commander-in-chief of the nation's forces and the meaning of OPCON. The relationship between sovereignty and the commander-in-chief of the nation's forces is a little different. This is one of the efforts to enlarge the efficiency of Armed Forces. Of course, operational control is little control of the sovereign personnel, logistics, administration, discipline, organizing, training, etc. It does not control all matters. The current ROK Combined Forces Command itself is made with reference to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO). If we insist our own sovereignty is infringed because of OPCON, that claim is coated in irreparable damage to the national interest.

The Korean peninsular is a typical mountainous terrain country which has 75% of mountains with having featuring of east-high west-low and north-high south-low type. Though the physiographic feature is not changed, the future operational environment has been frequently changed through artificial transformation by people living in the city. While Korea has been changed continuously since 2000, 90% of Korean territory has been urbanized and the majority of people live in the city. In particular, in the case of combat in urban area, there might be lots of limitations because of confusing with millions of people and complex buildings. The combat commanders should make an effort to overcome such difficulties through detailed IPB(Intelligence preparation in the battlefield) considering various situation before planning for major operations. They should change warfighting concept and paradigm. This paper finds the normal characteristics of urban operation and physical traits of the Korean peninsular. As the urbanization has been accelerating in Korea, practical implications about how to prepare the urban operation are discussed.

Future battlefield domains are expanding to ground, sea, air, space, and cyber, so future military operations are expected to be carried out simultaneously and complexly in various battlefield domains. In addition, the application of convergence technologies that create innovations in all fields of economy, society, and defense, such as artificial intelligence, IoT, and big data, is being promoted. However, since the current Korean military C4I system manages warfighting function DBs in one DB server, the efficiency of combat performance is reduced utilization and distribution speed of data and operation response time. To solve this problem, research is needed on how to apply the 4th industrial revolution technologies such as AI, IoT, 5G, big data, and cloud to the Korean military C4I system, but research on this is insufficient. Therefore, this paper analyzes the problems of the current Korean military C4I system and proposes to apply the 4th industrial revolution technology in terms of operational mission, network and data link, computing environment, cyber operation, interoperability and interlocking capabilities.

Required Operational Capability(ROC), which means the performance of a weapon system, is determined when estimating the requirements of a new weapon system. It is very important to define the ROC as it has a decisive influence from acquisition of a weapon system to tactical operation. In this study, we propose a simulation methodology to verify the ROC of the Para-Observation Munition(POM), a newly developed weapon system. To this end, we propose a discrete-event simulation model that takes main performance of the weapon system constituting the ROC and environmental factors that affect performance of the weapon system as input values, and outputs operational effect as a result value. It describes various simulation logic required to implement a simulation model, and explains how to verify ROC using various simulation results such as sensitivity analysis. POM is a weapon system that does not have a similar one and that is difficult to directly utilize the military analysis model. This study can be used as a methodology to analyze the ROC and predict operational effects of weapon systems such as POM.

The Ukraine-Russia war is a testing ground for High-Tech weapons and the first full-scale drone warfare. The Ukrainian military has been aggressively deploying a variety of reconnaissance and attack drones on the battlefield, and more recently, FPV drones, also known as racing drones, have been fitted with bombs as a game-changer in small-unit combat. To better understand these FPV drones, this article reviews their definition, aircraft components, and key characteristics, and draws implications from the Ukrainian military's FPV combat experience. In the future, the combination of artificial intelligence and swarming technology will make FPV drones even more lethal. Accordingly, the need to develop FPV drones suitable for the future operational environment on the Korean Peninsula is increasing, and follow-up research is needed to specify fighting methods and optimize related technologies.

During the past several years the ROK military has made an effort to build LVC synthetic battlefield that reflects the real world environment. In spite of its efforts, little has been accomplished. The disappointing achievement is mainly due to the lack of operational requirements and concepts, and policies or systematic approaches on the architecture and technology. Furthermore, there is insufficient understanding on the basic concepts and principles, and conflicting interests between organizations. In this study, I propose to construct an LVC based on the HLA that focuses on the system view and technical standard view, rather than the operational view. The proposed approach employs the information centric integration, focuses on an architecture convergence efforts based on the HLA/RTI, emphasizes the HLA compliance test and federation test, adapts to DSEEP, DMAO, and FEAT, and finally invents and implements an LVC Compliance Test System.

우리 군은 미래전을 대비하기 위해 각종 전술 응용정보체계의 막힘없는 전송과 통신망간 연동 요구를 충족시키고 미래 전장을 주도할 통신체계 구축을 목표로 전술정보통신체계(TICN) 개발을 추진 중이다. Ad-hoc 네트워크 기술을 사용하는 전술정보통신체계의 부체계인 전투무선체계는 전장 환경에서 운영되는 특수성으로 인해 기존의 전통적인 플랫한 Ad-hoc 네트워크와는 차별화된 계층형 Ad-hoc 네트워크 구조를 가진다. 또한 Ad-hoc 네트워크를 운용하는 환경이 보안성이 극도로 요구되는 전장 환경임을 고려할 때 군 작전의 성공적인 목표 달성을 위한 보안대책은 반드시 필요하다. 특히 전장상황 하에서 유통될 각종 민감 정보들에 대한 기밀성, 무결성 등을 보장하기 위해 정당한 권한을 가진 노드들만이 네트워크에 참여할 수 있는 보안 매커니즘이 적용되어야 하며, 이를 위해선 효율적인 키 관리 기법을 적용해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 비밀키, 노드위치, 해시인증 등의 정보를 이용한 3단계 인증절차 적용으로 Ad-hoc 네트워크 참여 노드의 인증을 강화하고, 통신환경에 따라 3가지 비밀키를 구분 사용하여 계층형 Ad-hoc 네트워크 구조에서 기밀성 보장을 강화하기 위한 키 관리 기법을 제안한다.

An environmental factor is very important in a war game model supporting military training. Most war game models in Korean armed forces apply the same weather conditions to all operation areas. As a result, it fails to derive a high-fidelity simulation result. For this reason this study attempts to develop factor techniques for a high-fidelity war game that can apply distributed synthetic atmospheric environment modeling data to a military simulation. The major developed factor technology of this study applies regional distributed precipitation data to the 2D-GIS based Simplified Detection Probability Model(SDPM) that was developed for this study. By doing this, this study shows that diversely distributed local weather conditions can be applied to a military simulation depending on the model resolution from theater level to engineering level, on the use from training model to analytical model, and on the description level from corps level to battalion level.

Mine detector of troops is different from other equipments. It is a base of a miner branch's combat, combat support and mission. But its notion is too obsucure and each troops' model and maker of it is so different and most of it is old type so there are a lot of malfunctions. Hence, I will define management of mine detector and figure out these days miner troops' mine detector situation. I will collect experts' opinions too. Through a discussion we could found improvement plan and develop it adequate for future operational environment. Proceeding all these courses and finally making it weaponize are the points of this writing.
