Abstract

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the current Korean military's demand planning and weapon system acquisition method was suggest to improve measures for cutting-edge technology applied weapon system. Currently, the problem of the Korean military weapon system acquisition system is the demand-oriented planning and acquiring. The demand-oriented weapon system has the advantage of securing the weapon system that the military needs, but it lacks flexibility considering the shortened life-cycle of technology and changes in the security environment. In particular, more innovative planning is needed to solve the problems of troop reduction and insufficient quantitative and qualitative military power compared to neighbor countries. To do so, it is essential to secure a qualitative advantage by developing leading technologies and securing a weapon system to which leading technologies are applied. In this study, demand-push, demand-pull, technology-push, and technology-pull frameworks, which are methods of market innovation, were introduced to analyze military's planning and acquiring weapon systems. A theoretical framework was presented so that the weapon system planning and acquisition methods could be classified and analyzed in more detail. In addition, an institutions were proposed to develop future weapon system with leading technologies.
