Abstract
In this study, the required capabilities and key element technologies of smart underground ammunition storage were analyzed using the Delphi technique. Twenty-four external experts on industry 4.0 smart technology were selected. A total of 18 required capabilities and 32 key element technologies were derived for the construction of smart underground ammunition storage. Smart ammunition storage can be built through the convergence of a range of ICT technologies such as sensors, clouds, big data, precision control, and mobile technologies, along with existing ammunition storages. The combination of these technologies will support human decision making through the use of numerous sensors applied to ammunition storage for collecting data and converting them into big data. In addition, the intelligent information technology introduced in a smart ammunition store will allow soldiers to detect changes in the surrounding environment, which will bring about innovation to an ammunition service. As a result, high-level automation and an intelligent infrastructure can be provided, enabling an improvement in ammunition management capabilities, energy saving, and the establishment of a safe operating environment and a flexible management system. This form of future ammunition storage will be an example solution for major issues in army ammunition services, as well as overcoming challenges such as a reduction in military forces.

In the absence of accurate information on the problem that needs to be estimated, the Delphi technique is based on the principle of a quantitative objectivity, i.e., that the prediction of a structured group of individuals is more accurate than the prediction of an individual
A Delphi analysis was conducted for external experts to analyze the required capabilities and element technologies for the operation of a smart underground ammunition storage
Summary
Ammunition magazines are placed in a wide range of protection zones for human safety and for protecting civilian assets from accidental explosions. These protected zones are based on safety distance, and the minimum separation distance is determined to prevent damage from blast pressure, fragmentation and scattering, and heat generated when an explosion occurs [1,2,3]. Smart and sustainable buildings have been an active field of research in recent years, achieving remarkable growth in the construction industry. According to a Building Services Research and Information Association report, this field will contribute to improvements in the quality of human life through the application of advanced construction incorporating
