현재 대한민국의 인구절벽 현상으로 인한 한국군의 군 병력부족으로 대한민국의 심각한 국방 공백이 발생될 수 있는 상황이다. 따라서 인구감소로 인한 대한민국의 국방 공백을 해결하기 위해 한국군은 보병을 제외한 기계화 부대에 재편된 인원을 축소시키고 자율주행화하여 국방 공백을 상쇄해 유사시 북한군이 한국군에게 행할 수 있는 군사적 도발 및 선제공격에 대비하는 정책을 펼칠 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 우리 군이 기계화 부대에 재편된 자주포와 같은 무기체계들에 있어 자동화와 자율주행화로 인원을 감축시킬 때 K-9자주포의 자율주행 및 진지 배치에 관한 운용 가능성을 확인하고 K-9자주포의 자율주행화와 이에 따른 운용방법과 그 필요성 및 타당성을 간단한 자율주행이 가능한 K-9자주포 모형 로봇으로 위의 내용을 모사하여 설명하였다. 그리고 자율주행이 가능한 실제 K-9자주포를 실전에 배치하였을 때 나타날 수 있는 문제점을 예측하여 서술하였다.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.
