In the face of increasingly diversified combat environments and the rising importance of soldier survivability, the reliability of bulletproof equipment has emerged as a critical factor in modern military operations. However, the current defense system in Korea lacks a dedicated infrastructure for reliability assessment, leading to potential risks of equipment failure in real combat situations. This institutional gap results in both operational inefficiency and an underestimation of the economic value of soldier protection. To address this issue, this study conducts a cost-benefit analysis of establishing a reliability assessment infrastructure for bulletproof equipment. By incorporating both direct benefits (such as defect detection and maintenance efficiency) and indirect benefits (such as improved soldier survivability and reduced reliance on foreign certification), the analysis evaluates long-term returns over the period 2025–2059. The estimation employs expected utility theory and uses the value of a statistical life (VSL) to quantify survivability-related gains. The results reveal a substantial net present value (NPV) of approximately KRW 320 billion when survivability benefits are included, and KRW 127.6 billion even under the most conservative assumptions. These findings support the strategic necessity of implementing a systematic reliability evaluation framework, not only to enhance operational readiness but also to strengthen the economic sustainability and competitiveness of the domestic defense industry.
