SDN and NFV are next-generation network technologies, and cloud, such as data centers, campuses, and large companies, has been established, or is actively applied by service-oriented communication companies. In particular, the Defense Integrated Data Center will be a prime example for military applications. In order for the Defense Integrated Data Center (DIDC) to become an intelligent center, it is accelerating the promotion of the "Smart Defense Integrated Data Center", which applied the latest information and communication technology (ICT). At the time of the establishment of DIDC, it plans to start building infrastructure such as cloud services at around 30% level, and expand D-Cloud to 75% through 'Cloud First'. In addition, the introduction of SDN/NFV will reduce the operation cost and manpower of DIDC, strengthen the ability to efficiently use information resources and cyber information protection systems, and increase flexibility and agility in using each system to improve efficiency in defense management in the future. Therefore, we will discuss the justification and expected effects of SDN/NFV introduction, focusing on DIDC.

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.

Crops lack genetic resistance to most necrotrophic soil-borne pathogens and parasitic nematodes that are ubiquitous in agroecosystems worldwide. To overcome this disadvantage, plants recruit and nurture specific group of antagonistic microorganisms from the soil microbiome to defend their roots against pathogens and other pests. The best example of this microbe-based defense of roots is observed in disease-suppressive soils in which the suppressiveness is induced by continuously growing crops that are susceptible to a pathogen. Suppressive soils occur globally yet the microbial basis of most is still poorly described. Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae is a major disease of strawberry and is naturally suppressed in Korean fields that have undergone continuous strawberry monoculture. Here we show that members of the genus Streptomyces are the specific bacterial components of the microbiome responsible for the suppressiveness that controls Fusarium wilt of strawberry. Furthermore, genome sequencing revealed that Streptomyces griseus, which produces a novel thiopetide antibiotic, is the principal species involved in the suppressiveness. Finally, chemical-genetic studies demonstrated that S. griseus antagonizes F. oxysporum by interfering with fungal cell wall synthesis. An attack by F. oxysporum initiates a defensive "cry for help" by strawberry root and the mustering of microbial defenses led by Streptomyces. These results provide a model for future studies to elucidate the basis of microbially-based defense systems and soil suppressiveness from the field to the molecular level.

The creation of the Defense Integrated Data Center(DIDC) has resulted in a reduction in manpower, operating costs, efficient and effective management of resources. However, it is difficult to effectively collect and manage the data of a large number of battlefields coming from equipments such as drones, robots, and IoT added to the fourth industrial revolution and the future battlefield. Therefore, we will propose the design of DIDC network system using NFV and SDN, which are emerging as the core technologies of 5G, a mobile communication technology. After analyzing the data sheet of each equipment, it is considered that by integrating the redundant functions, energy efficiency, resource utilization and effective network management will be possible.

Korea Ministry of National Defense has directed the state-of-the-art technology Forces troops structures that can respond to security threats in all directions through the Defense Innovation 2.0, which aims to reorganize the personnel and organizations in response to population decline. An implement of effective analysis to maintain combat power is necessary due to possible restrictions on combat power, especially in division of mobilization where reserve manpower is operated frequently. In this study, the normal operations of the reserve officers were investigated, the direct effects of the combat forces of the reserve officers was analyzed using ARENA modeling, and the budget required to operate the innovation and indirect effects of employment of veterans were studied. The result of the simulation proved to be effective in demonstrating unit combat power when the reserve officer was in full-time operations and economic benefits were also significant in terms of efficiency of defense budget management.

This paper provides an empirical assessment of the development of North Korea's Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM), and its influence on South Korea's maritime strategy. While research studies on North Korea's ballistic-missile capabilities and South Korea's ballistic-missile defense systems are proliferating, less analytical attention has been given to the way that the strengthening of North Korea's ballistic-missile capacities presents a critical threat to the ROK's navy and lines of communication. The authors of this paper identify the continuing development of unique ASBM capabilities by China and Iran, and determine that such processes are mutually interactive and in accordance with threat perceptions; furthermore, North Korea can enact the same process by learning lessons from these nations. The findings of this paper provide an implication for the formulation of South Korea's maritime strategy and the related assets in consideration of the ASBM as a future threat.

Security environment we face in the Korean Peninsula is unexpectable. Tensions between Seoul and Pyeongyang and its threats are continuously evolving. Kim Jung Un will keep on conducting provocations and DPRK's isolation will result uncertainty to their objective and intention. KPA is centered on ground forces with conventional weapons but they possess modernized missiles and nuclear capabilities. What's more concerning is that North Korea continuously pursue and develop nuclear weapons and missile capabilities. Pursuing defense reform is inevitable for the ROK to deal adequately against the security threats posed by the North and to prepare for the environment of future warfare. If we are satisfied with the current capabilities then our military capabilities and security status will retrogress. We have to reorganize our units to make a small but FMC, smart military organization. Organization analysis is an urgent issue for reorganizing units. However, it isn't an easy task to reform an organization. There are vague parts for analysis and strong resistance from the people within the organization. Therefore should not focus on the reduction of people and the organization. Organization reform should be done with the acknowledgement of most of the personnel and should focus on the task and its method. These should be reflected to the organization analysis.

US DoD designated the High LEvel Architecture (HLA) as the standard technical architecture for all military simulation since 1996. HLA will supercede the current Distributed Interactive Simulation(DIS) and Aggregated LEvel Simulation Protocol(ALSP) methods by no funds for developing/modifying non-HLA compliant simulations. The new architecture specifies Rules which define relationships among federation components, an Objects Model Template which species the form which simulation elements are described, and an Interface Specification which describes the way simulations interact during operations. HLA is named as standard architecture in NATO, Australia and many other militaries. Also, it will be IEEE standard in the near future. It goes without saying that ROK military whose simulation models are almost from US must be prepared in areas such as ROK-US combined exercise, training, weapon system acquisition, interface models with C4I system, OPLAN analysis, operations, and os on. In this paper, we propose several effective alternatives and issues for ROK Defense Modeling and Simulation under the transition of new HLA architecture. Those include secure the kernel of new simulation technology and develop our own conceptual model, RTI software, prototype federation for each service and aggregated one. In order to challenge the new simulation architecture effectively, we should innovate our current defense modeling and simulation infrastructure such s manpower, organization, budget, research environment, relationships among academia and industry, and many others.
