To secure state-of-the-art and advanced technologies necessary for domestic development and production of weapon systems, KRIT is managing defense technologies across their overall cycle, including planning and managing core defense technology development programs.
Carries out comprehensive preliminary research for project planning, including investigating predictions and relevant levels, analyzing weapon system technologies, and establishing defense science and technology roadmaps
Predicts and analyzes the technology by referring to the technical requirements for implementing system capabilities by assessing the development direction for future weapon systems
Predicts new technologies that can change the future theater of war by analyzing future environments, megatrends, and relevant issues
Pre-analyzes and researches the WBS, which handles the component composition of a unit weapon system in a tree structure at the technology planning stage where the concept of weapon system operation is not made
Analyzes and researches the technology components in a tree structure to meet the system capabilities for the weapon system of which the concept of operation is not redefined after a long-term operation
This is a reference document for future weapon system requirements and R&D planning of core technologies, presenting the levels of domestic and foreign defense science and technology, weapon system/technology development status and development trend thereof, and newly required technologies in the future.
This provides the objective data necessary for establishing domestic R&D policies and strategies that are obtained through an investigation on the levels of defense science and technology of major countries leading in the defense industry and the technical levels in the weapon systems of each country, which are identified through research and analysis of the relative technology levels.
Presents mid- to long-term strategies and visions for defense R&D by identifying core technologies that require mid- to long-term R&D to achieve future defense goals and by establishing strategies to procure them effectively
By considering the technical analysis of core technologies based on the WBS approach, plans specific projects and comprehensive projects necessary for the planning of core component development in the form of package
After publishing the industry-academia research project based on the guidelines for core technology requirements of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), in consideration of the results, selects a creative and new technology for the future
Identifies core technologies for each significant functional part (WBS levels 3–4), such as component/assembly, and establishes a defense science and technology roadmap for each core technology package
Specifies a list of future technology and challenging technology projects and prepares and provides a list of core technology projects reflecting the results of project planning
Conducts the management of projects for core technology development during their overall cycle in accordance with the policy for promoting the core technology development
- Manages core technology R&D projects led by an industry-academia research consortium under the arrangement
- Prepares a request for proposal for the core technology R&D project, manages the progress thereof, provides technical support, and takes follow-ups
Supports defense capability enhancement programs by identifying, investigating, and analyzing future weapon systems; performing precedent research on weapon systems; and conducting program analysis and investigating policies/schemes related to the acquisition
This community is responsible for the establishment of an open, top-down planning system to develop core technologies and the integration of defense R&D projects and national R&D projects.
