The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration proposed a new concept of urban air mobility in the city's short-range air transport ecosystem in order to build a new low-altitude air, and the term uam is currently used worldwide. This paradigm is also being promoted by the Korean government with the goal of commercializing urban air transport services by 2025, and furthermore, the need to secure air maneuvers and transportation capacity is emerging due to the rapidly changing future operating environment and battlefield space. In other words, this study started to present the military necessity and military operation plan by introducing the 'Agility Prime' program of the US Air Force. 'Agility Prime' program was organized in order of background and concept of urban air mobility, development trend of Korean urban air mobility and analysis of the US Air Force's 'Agility Prime' program, and it is expected that this study will be followed by a follow-up study.

Owing to the development of science technology, particularly the smart concept and defense policy factors of the 4th industry, military weapon systems are advanced, and the scientific and operational force is reduced dramatically. The aspect of the future war is characterized by the operation of troops with reduced forces from advanced and scientific weapon systems in an operational area that has expanded more than four times compared to the present. Reflecting on these situational factors, it is necessary to improve combat methods based on the changes in the battlefield environment and advanced weapon systems. In this study, to find a more efficient future combat method in a changing war pattern, this study applied the battle experiment methodology using Vision21 war game model, which is an analytical model used by the army. Finally, this study aimed to verify the future combat method and unit structure. Therefore, the scenario composition and experiment method that reflect the change in the ground operational environment and weapon system was first composed. Subsequently, an analysis method based on the combat effectiveness was applied to verify the effective combat performance method and unit structure of future infantry units.

미래 전쟁은 과거의 재래식 전쟁과는 판이하게 변화된 환경 속에서 새로운 전투 형태와 방법으로 전개될 것이다. 특히, 첨단 기술의 급속한 발전은 전장에서 싸우는 방법을 변화시키는 주요 요인이라고 할 수 있다. 전장에서 적을 먼저 발견하고 타격하기 위해서는 실시간 표적 획득 및 첩보 수집과 정확한 상황판단 및 적시적인 지휘가 요구되기 때문에 정보 수집 자산이 부족한 사 여단급 부대를 대상으로 감시 정찰 센서 네트워크 시스템을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 평시 체계와 전시 체계의 운용 개념이 부족한 상태에서 실 세계에 적용하는 것은 유지비용의 증가, 감지 오류, 야전 환경과의 부적합 등을 야기한다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점의 해결 대안으로 이 논문에서는 지상군 작전에서 적의 조기 발견과 전장 가시화에 필요한 전장감시 센서 네트워크 시스템을 위한 상황 인식 프레임 워크를 제안하였다.

The ROK military is making a great effort and investment in establishing network-centric warfare, a future battlefield concept, as a major step in the establishment of a basic plan for military innovation. In the military organization level, an advanced process is introduced to shorten the command control time of the military and the business process is improved to shorten the decision time. In the information system dimension, an efficient resource management is achieved by establishing an automated command control system and a resource management information system by using the battle management information system. However, despite these efforts, we must evaluate the present level of informatization in an objective manner and assess the current progress toward the future goal of the military by using objective indicators. In promoting informatization, we must systematically identify the correct areas of improvement and identify policy directions to supplement in the future. Therefore, by analyzing preliminary research, workshops, and expert discussions on the major informatization level evaluation models at home and abroad, this study develops an evaluation model and several indicators that systematically reflect the characteristics of military organizations. The developed informatization level evaluation model is verified by conducting a feasibility test for the troops of the operation class or higher. We expect that this model will be able to objectively diagnose the level of informatization of the ROK military by putting budget and resources into the right place at the right time and to rapidly improve the vulnerability of the information sector.

Large satellite development programs might take decades to build, launch and operate in space environments at costs in excess of a billion dollars. However, small satellites can reduce the costs not only by using commercial software and sensors, but also by shortening the development period to two years or less. In this paper, we discuss the development status of small satellites, and propose some military applications of small satellites. First, we describe the industrial trends of small satellites in advanced countries such as the United States and Japan. Also, we describe the development status of small satellites in Korea. Military applications are largely classified into education, research, and operational purposes. Small satellites are developing rapidly in commercial markets and they will play an important role in military sector. Therefore, the military should consider small satellites as important strategic assets in future conflicts and provide means to develop them.

To carry out multi-domain operations included in the U.S. Department of Defense's national security strategy in 2018, timely data sharing between C4I systems is critical. Several studies of the Korean military have also raised the problems of interface and standardization between C4I systems, and it is necessary to establish a new plan to solve this problem. In this study, a solution to the problem was derived through case analysis that the U.S. Department of Defense has been pursuing for about 20 years to implement the data strategy after establishing the data strategy in 2003. and by establishing a data strategy suitable for the ROK military C4I system operating environment, developing a data model, selecting a standard for data sharing, and proposing a shared data development procedure, we intend to improve the data sharing capability between ROK military C4I systems.

This study was carried out to investigate the flora of the western front (Paju-Yencheon Area) of the Civilian Control Zone. Vascular plants collected in these areas were a total of 558 taxa composing of 501 species, 3 subspecies, 48 varieties and 1 forma of 330 genera under 109 families This shows that 11% of the 4,880 vascular plant species that are known to exist in Korea is distributed in the western part of the DMZ. 1 taxa of endangered species designated by the Ministry of Environment was found: the Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim in the edge of the military operation road from Taepung observatory to Imjin river. For the floristically specific ones of the Korean floristic zones, 3 taxa of the $5^{th}$ grade, 3 taxa of the $4^{th}$ grade, 13 taxa of the $3^{rd}$ grade, 13 taxa of the $2^{nd}$ grade and 22 taxa of the $1^{st}$ grade were found. For the endemic species of Korea, 4 taxa including Cirsium setidens (Dunn) Nakai were confirmed to be distributed mostly on the slope or the cutting area. Among the collected rare plants (11 taxa), there were 1 taxa of endangered species, 4 taxa of vulnerable species and 6 taxa of least concern species. Also, 51 taxa of naturalized plants were identified and 4 taxa of ecosystem disturbance organism designated by the Ministry of Environment were identified. The urbanization index and naturalization index for all species were estimated to be 15.89% and 9.14% respectively. Our survey is expected to be considered as primary data of biological diversity and ecological axis in the DMZ and the western part of the DMZ. According to the results of this study, it is thought to be necessary to establish policies for conservation and protection of the DMZ.

The development of wireless communications provides mobility and accessibility to the wire communication users. Wireless sensor network is one of the leading wireless communication techniques. The security mechanism for wired network communication cannot be applied to wireless sensor network because of the limited resource and computing capability of nodes. Furthermore, communication errors frequently occur and the speed is low. Thus, efficient key management scheme is required in low-speed environment. In this paper, we proposed an efficient and secured master key-based scheme compared to the existing scheme. The advantage of our scheme is that establishing and renewing the pair-wise key is possible. In addition, it provides functions such as establishing group keys and renewing it. Furthermore, adding nodes is enabled through our scheme. The master key-based scheme can be applied to military operations and to radio communications for confidential communications.

본 논문은 미래 군에서 CR (Cognitive Radio) 기술을 적용한 전투무선망에서의 효율적인 주파수 사용을 위한 정책기반 동적 채널 선정 구조를 제안한다. 전투무선망에서는 상용의 기지국과 같은 Coordinator가 존재하지 않기 때문에 효율적인 채널 사용을 위해서 각 상황마다 어떻게 대응할 것인가에 대한 고려사항이 있다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 정책기반의 동적 채널 선택 구조를 제안하며, 이는 각 상황에 따른 규칙이나 행동을 사전에 정책으로 정의하여 특정 Coordinator가 없더라도 해당 상황이 발생하면 사전 정의된 정책에 의해서 동적 채널 선택을 하는 것이다. 즉, 전투무선망에서 작전상황이나 전술통신환경의 변화에 따라 PU (Primary User)나 SU (Secondary User)를 동적으로 할당하는 것을 의미한다. 모의 실험결과 별도의 정책 없이 Random하게 동적 채널을 선택하는 기존기법보다 정책기반의 기법이 월등한 성능향상을 보였다.
