  • The longing for submarine manufacture and the fear of her power had exited for a long time, but submarine that could submerge and attack was built from 20th century by science technology development. The question, 'Submarine can exercise her power in naval warfare?' had exited before World War I, but the effective value of submarine was shown in the procedure of a chain of naval warfare during World War I and World War II. Germany and the United States made the best use of submarines at that time. The submarines of these nations mounted fierce attack on the enemy's battleships and merchant ships and blocked the sea lanes for war material. These fierce attack on ships became impossible After World War II, and the major powers reduced and coordinated the defence budget, so they considered the role of submarine. However, submarine is still powerful weapon system because she can secretly navigate under the water, and one of the most important force in the navy. The aim of this thesis is analyzing submarine roles in each naval warfare and integrating maritime strategy and weapon system technology into her roles. First, the research about represent submarine roles like anti-surfaceship warfare, anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, land attack, supporting special operation and mine landing warfare will be presented, then the major naval warfare where submarine participated(during ex-World War I, World War I, World War II, The Cold War Era and post Cold War) and the analyzing of submarine roles by time will be presented. Submarine was developed for anti-surfaceship warfare during ex-World War I but could not make remarkable military gain in naval warfare because her performance and weapon was inadequate. However, the effective value of submarine in the procedure of a chain of naval warfare was shown during World War I and World War II. The major powers put battleships into naval warfare undiscriminatingly to command the sea power and submarines did massive damage to enemy navy power, so put a restraint the maritime power of enemy, and blocked the sea lanes for war material. After World War II, the battlefield situation changed rapidly and the concept of preemption became difficult to apply in naval warfare. Therefore, the submarine was unable to concentrate on anti-surfaceship mission. Especially during the Cold War era, nuclear submarine came to appear and her weapon system developed rapidly. These development gave submarines special missions: anti-submarine warfare and intelligence gathering. At that time, United States and Soviet submarines tracked other nation's submarines loaded with nuclear weapons and departing from naval their base. The submarines also collected information on the volume of ships and a coastal missile launching site in company with this mission. After Cold War, the major powers despatched forces to major troubled regions to maintain world peace, their submarines approached the shores of these regions and attacked key enemy installations with cruise missiles. At that time, the United States eased the concept of preemption and made the concept of Bush doctrine because of possible 911 terrorism. The missiles fired from submarines and surface battleships accurately attacked key enemy installations. Many nations be strategically successful depending on what kind of mission a submarine is assigned. The patterns of future naval warfare that my country will provide against will be military power projection and coalition/joint operations. These suggest much more about what future missions we should assign to submarines.

  • 불확실한 환경변화에 대처하고 장기적 전략수립을 위해 기업에게 있어서 IT 트렌드에 대한 예측은 오랫동안 중요한 주제였다. IT 트렌드에 대한 예측을 기반으로 새로운 시대에 대한 인식을 하고 예산을 배정하여 빠르게 변화하는 기술의 추세에 대비할 수 있기 때문이다. 해마다 유수의 컨설팅업체들과 조사기관에서 차년도 IT 트렌드에 대해서 발표되고는 있지만, 이러한 예측이 실제로 차년도 비즈니스 현실세계에서 나타났는지에 대한 연구는 거의 없었다. 본 연구는 현존하는 빅데이터 기술을 활용하여 서울지역을 중심으로 지난 8개월동안(2013년 5월1일부터 2013년12월31까지) 정보통신산업진흥원과 한국정보화진흥원에서 2012년 말에 발표한 IT 트렌드 토픽이 언급된 21,589개의 트윗 데이터를 수집하여 분석하였다. 또한 2013년에 나라장터에 올라온 프로젝트들이 IT트렌드 토픽과 관련이 있는지 상관관계분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 빅데이터, 클라우드, HTML5, 스마트홈, 테블릿PC, UI/UX와 같은 IT토픽은 시간이 지날수록 매우 빈번하게 언급되어졌으며, 이 같은 토픽들은 2013년 나라장터 공고 프로젝트 데이터와도 매우 유의한 상관관계를 가지고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 전년도(2012년)에 예측한 트렌드들이 차년도(2013년)에 실제로 트위터와 한국정부의 공공조달사업에 반영되어 나타나고 있는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 최신 빅데이터툴을 사용하여, 유수기관의 IT트렌드 예측이 실제로 트위터와 같은 소셜미디에서 생성되는 트윗데이터에서 얼마나 언급되어 나타나는지 추적했다는 점에서 중요한 의의가 있고, 이를 통해 트위터가 사회적 트랜드의 변화를 효율적으로 추적하기에 유용한 도구임을 확인하고자 할 수 있었다.

  • 미얀마 북서부 물웨룻 크롬-니켈광화대(약 $800km^2$)의 산출지를 대상으로 예비조사를 통해, 자료원, 지질잠재성, 광상구 소재여부, 대상광물의 자원개발 필요성, 기탐사실적, 품위, 광상형, 인근 가행광산 여부, 인프라환경 및 탐사예상 효과를 면밀히 검토한후 보피붐 지역을 정밀탐사지역으로 선정하였다. 이후 2013년부터 2016년까지, 한국지질자원연구원과 미얀마지질조사광물탐사국은 1:1,000 축척 지질 및 토양지구화학탐사, 자력탐사($1.672km^2$ 면적), 트렌치조사(총연장 392 m 19개), 피트탐사(총 심도 42.6m 18개), 탐사시추(2015년, 6개공 600m 시추 및 2016년, 13개공 617.4m)를 수행했다. 이중 11개공에서 77개 시추코어시료를 채취하고 각각 비중과 Cr 및 Ni 함량을 양곤 DGSE 분석센터에서 분석했다. 기수행 지표지질조사, 지구화학탐사, 자력탐사, 트렌치조사, 시추자료를 고려하여 보피붐 지역을 8개 블록으로 구분했으며 자원량평가는 정측자원량 및 개측자원량으로 평가했다. 정측자원량은 약 9,790톤이며, 개측자원량은 약 12,080톤이고, 평균품위는 Cr 11.8% 및 Ni 0.34%이다. 보피붐 지역의 경우, 남쪽의 웨불라(Webula) 크롬광화대와 연계해서 개발한다면 중규모급 광산의 개발여지가 있으며, 미얀마는 지질학적으로 오피올라이트 벨트가 서측과 동측에 광대하게 분포하고 있어 보피붐 지역에서 기초탐사를 수행하면서 습득한 탐사기법은 향후 미얀마 오피올라이트벨트에서 잠두 크롬광체를 발견하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.
