Abstract

Recently, advanced weapon systems such as 3000-ton-class submarines and 4.5-generation fighters are being localized, and exports of various weapon systems are increasing significantly. Our defense science and technology level was ranked ninth in the world, and weapon system exports were ranked ninth in the world in 2020. On the other hand, cyber attacks targeting advanced weapon systems are also on the rise, so the need to protect the technologies of defense companies while protecting the technologies of weapon systems for export is growing. The Defense Industry Technology Protection Act, enacted in 2015, defines defense technology as a technology that needs protection among defense science and technology, and compels defense companies to build a defense technology protection system. However, the focus is only on the defence industry’s technology protection system, and there is no system for protecting the weapon system technology, which is being exported, and the related research is insignificant. In this paper, we studied a weapon system anti-tampering process that can be applied to the defense weapon system R&D procedure as a way to protect the defense technology of the weapon systems. The proposed method linked the anti-tampering process to the technical review meeting for each stage of systems engineering procedure. Also we defined the anti-tampering secuity grade so that the target level to be implemented, and the process of determining the anti-tampering technology based on the identification of the defense technology and the risk assessment, and also the identification procedure for applicable anti-tampering technologies.
