주요 선진국 국방동향 분석을 통한 한국군 NCW 발전방향
A Study on the Development Direction of the ROK Forces’ NCW through the Analysis of the Major Advanced Country’s Military Development Trend
The ubiquitous information technology has made systems intelligent and connectable, and has consequently caused the paradigm of military operation to change from platform-centric operation to network-centric operation. Recently, the United States, United Kingdom, NATO, and Australia developed the concept of network-centric operation to ensure victory by achieving information superiority under a complex and changeable security environment. Such concept must contain a network-based force to maximize the operation effectiveness and the efficiency of the national defense budget. To realize such concept, the aforementioned countries/ organizations are focusing on force construction and operation using their access to capabilities- based planning and enterprise architecture. For this research, the access status of each country to strategy changes, the NCW approach, the concept of capability, and the capabilities-based planning process was investigated as a case of capability application. Based on the results of this research, a development direction for the ROK NCW was proposed.
