This paper addresses the maintenance optimization problem in multi-component systems in which parts are connected in series, carrying out several missions interspersed with scheduled finite breaks. Due to limited time or resources, maintenance actions can be only carried out on a limited set of components. The decision maker then has to decide which components to maintain to ensure a pre-specified performance level during next mission. Most of the existing models in the literature usually assume only one system and enough spare parts. However, there are situations in which maintenance is required for multiple systems of the same type. To overcome this restrictive assumption, this study optimizes the maintenance problem considering the lack of repair parts and cannibalism for many identical systems. This study presents two optimization models with different objectives to solve the problem and analyzes the results so that the decision maker can decide. The results of this study are expected to be used for the maintenance of multiple systems of the same type, such as swarm drones.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a prominent topic in almost every field. In Korea, Systems Engineering (SE) procedures are applied in Defense Acquisition, and it is anticipated that SE procedures will also be applied to systems incorporating AI capabilities. This study explores the applicability of the concepts "AI4SE (AI for SE)" and "SE4AI (SE for AI)," which have been proposed in the United States, to the Korean context. The research examines the feasibility of applying these concepts, identifies necessary tasks, and proposes implementation strategies. For the AI4SE, many attempts and studies applying AI to SE Processes both Requirements & Architectures Define, System implementation & V&V, and Sustainment. It needs Explainability and Security. For the SE4AI, the Functional AI implementation level, Quality & Security of the Data-set, AI Ethics, and Review policies are needed. Furthermore, it provides perspectives on how these two concepts should ultimately converge and suggests future directions for development.

A CW Doppler radar can measure radial velocity of an object. It detects a Doppler frequency shift that is proportioned to radial velocity of a moving object. To detect a Doppler frequency shift, FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) is conducted. In this process, the time domain received signal is transformed to a frequency domain. A number of FFT affects not only the time resolution but also signal to noise ratio of received signal. So finally it is related with a radial velocity accuracy. Therefore in this paper, it is described the relation of time resolution and the radial velocity accuracy.

Defence Information System has surely required the guarantee of interoperability between systems as performing task oriented functions. To improve interoperability between them and use the benefits of component based development, defense officers are planning to develop COE like a kind of component bank concept. Defense component development methodology(ADDMe) within COE is a new approach of component based methodology for Defense environment after comparing, analyzing, and synthesizing with traditional CBDs. In this paper we introduce advanced defense component development methodology(ADDMe) and present checklist for improving interoperability between Defence component based systems which are developed with ADDMe. With our proposed interoperability's checklist, we can improve interoperability of defense component based systems through applying per each phase of ADDMe.

In this study, systems and procedures for improving the research and development and purchasing projects for defense specifications were investigated, and the current situation was analyzed in terms of the disclosure and establishment of defense specifications. I would like to discuss the measures that need to be taken to improve the specification affairs of our defense sector in order to improve the production quality of military supplies. It should be noted that it is necessary to establish specifications and procedures for improving the quality of domestically purchased military supplies. Therefore, it is highly imperative to systematically establish detailed performance, and miscellaneous specifications in order to actively respond to the rapid development of superior private technologies. In addition, the barriers in the entry of the defense industry should be removed through active disclosure of the specification data, and the opportunities for participation should be expanded to promote a smooth follow-up logistics support and to improve the quality of military supplies

Autonomous weapon systems act according to artificial intelligence-based judgement based on recognition through various sensors. Test and evaluation for various scenarios is required depending on the characteristics that artificial intelligence-based judgement is made. As a part of this approach, this paper proposed a LiDAR point cloud augmentation method for mixed-reality based test and evaluation. The augmentation process is achieved by mixing real and virtual LiDAR signals based on the virtual LiDAR synchronized with the pose of the autonomous weapon system. For realistic augmentation of test and evaluation purposes, appropriate intensity values were inserted when generating a point cloud of a virtual object and its validity was verified. In addition, when mixing the generated point cloud of the virtual object with the real point cloud, the proposed method enhances realism by considering the occlusion phenomenon caused by the insertion of the virtual object.

This paper proposes a novel process which can develop the system requirements in defense R&D programs. As the weapon systems become more complicated, the success and effectiveness of R&D outcome heavily depend on the application and tailoring of systems engineering process and methods. And, the accuracy and quality of system requirements are essential prerequisite to leverage the systems engineering process. To produce the artifacts of systems engineering such as OCD, ORD, and the systems requirements, the system user can write out requirement document using the proposed implementation process and templates without expending heavy work loads.

Failure data of systems in many field can be erroneous, which influences the reliability analysis of the systems. The general form of failure data is right censored data with accurate time information. But due to its nature of data collection in the military field, failure time of one-shot weapon systems can have errors which are related to the maintenance period. So this paper suggests a model that can reduce the error by utilizing interval censored data as an alternative to right censored data in weibull distribution.

Invertebrate animals, which lack adaptive immune systems, have developed other systems of biological host defense, so called innate immunity, that respond to common antigens on the cell surfaces of potential pathogens. During the past two decades, the molecular structures and functions of various defense components that participated in innate immune systems have been established in Arthropoda, such as, insects, the horseshoe crab, freshwater crayfish, and the protochordata ascidian. These defense molecules include phenoloxidases, clotting factors, complement factors, lectins, protease inhibitors, antimicrobial peptides, Toll receptors, and other humoral factors found mainly in hemolymph plasma and hemocytes. These components, which together compose the innate immune system, defend invertebrate from invading bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. This review describes the present status of our knowledge concerning such defensive molecules in invertebrates.
