Many countries implement an offset program as a method of the acquisition of modern military technology for enhancement of the domestic military strength. Offset agreements are made based on the value, not a monetary unit. The value should be above minimum threshold fixed by the related regulation. Hence, technology valuation model which is objective and reasonable is required vitally. At present, some defense related organizations such as DTaQ, ADD valuate the proposed technology by using their own method. However, due to the lack of differentiation of valuation analysis indicators for various technologies, existing offset valuation models are inadequate to consider whole characteristics of such technologies. In this paper, we developed four sets of offset valuation analysis indicators considering the characteristics of each technology, parts production, depot maintenance, military equipment performance upgrade, and R&D related technology, by using the Delphi method. Also, we structurized those indicators in each technology by using the factor analysis. Through applying developed indicators, it is expected that technology valuation in the offset program would be more credible and accurate. Ultimately, it gives greater bargaining power to negotiators in the procedure of the offset negotiation.

The importance of offset program has been increased, recently. Most research focused on the technology valuation and improvement of offset program. Research related with assessment of offset companies and development of differentiated strategies for cultivating them although they are important actor in offset program. Hence, this paper aims to propose the framework for assessing offset companies and providing the differentiated strategies using Desirability Function and IPA. Additionally, by applying the proposed framework to real offset companies, the applicability and usefulness of it are verified. The framework consists of extracting performance measures, assessment of it using Desirability Function and AHP and strategic planning based on IPA.

Republic of Korea has been applying offset to defense acquisition program for some benefits such as modernization of defense industry and enhancement of R&D capabilities since 1983. But in point of implementation, there is the possibility of delay of offset agreements based on the value of proposed technologies. As it often happens that the delay of offset agreement negatively affects the time schedule of main defense deal, it is necessary to prepare for this issue. The purpose of this study is to extract some factors affecting the duration of offset agreement by statistical analysis. Reviewing existing papers and contract process, nationality of enterprise, the number of project participants, properties of project, the number of technologies in the first proposal, level of domestic defense technology in each weapons system, the amount of main contract were used as independent variable and duration of agreement as dependent variable. To hypothesis testing, correlation and multiple regression analysis were conducted using the previous 25 contract cases. As a result of correlation analysis, the amount of main contract, the number of technologies in the first proposal and properties of project have positive relationships with dependent variable. In multiple regression, the amount of main contract and the number of project participants have significant effect on the duration of offset agreement.

This paper presents the overall valuation framework of the Army Tactical Command Information System(ATCIS) with its empirical data which is developed by the ROK Army in 2005 with its own R&D efforts over the past 10 years. The valuation with the appropriate methods is conducted through the full and relentless support of ROK Army HQs, defense agencies, and related firms. And the results include both qualitative and quantitative values of the ATCIS in perspectives of economic, technical, and defense strength effects. As a result, the development of ATCIS is valued over 1.7291 trillion Won which is over 6.55 times benefit and cost ratio comparing with other country's similar system. The worth of this paper includes the actual framework and methods to apply the valuation of other weapon systems and its preliminary research, defense offset valuation, performance evaluation and others.

지난 2월 산업자원부에서 발표한 ''''2004년 항공우주산업 육성계획''''에 의하면 대외 의존적인 국내 항공우주산업의 자립 기반을 구축하고 수입유발적인 항공우주산업의 고부가가치 창출과 무역수지 개선을 위하여 510억원 규모의 자금을 국내 항공우주 산업계에 지원하게 된다. 이 중에서도 항공우주 핵심 부품·소재 기술개발에 120억원 규모의 지원금을 배정함으로써 이 분야에 대한 육성이 앞장서고 있다. 또 국방부는 KMH나 E-X 사업에서 총 계약금의 30%를 국내참여분으로, 해외참여분 70%의 30%를 절충교역분으로 규정함으로써 국내업체의 참여를 보장하고 핵심 기술 및 부품의 국산화 개발을 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. 이와 같은 추세를 볼 때 항공우주분야에서 접목시킬 수 있는 기술기반을 가진 업체들의 발굴이 절실하다. 이러한 맥락에서 (주)AKA가 알루미늄·티타늄 계열의 성형기술을 항공우주 및 방위산업에 접목시키고 있는 기술적인 노력은 새롭게 평가받을 만하다.
