Abstract

In the defense industry, national security takes priority over economic sense and this has translated into high cost and long-term research and development. However, the exponential growth of technology and rapid changes in the security situation in recent years have resulted in a call for the development of systems at a low cost within a short period of time. In order to implement a modularization strategy in the field of defense, the introduction of line replaceable units in OO systems needs to be prioritized. This study selects six criteria following a literature review and prioritizes 11 modules for OO systems using the project evaluation method, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Based on the GRA results, the grey relational grades were derived as 0.83, 0.81 and 0.80 for the M11 (Main board), M8 (EMI module), M3 (Single board computer) modules, respectively. The cost and time of development is expected to be reduced in accordance with the grey relational grade. The results of this research could be utilized for decision making on adopting modularization in similar system development or product improvement programs (PIPs).

방위산업은 경제논리보다 안보논리가 우선시되며 고비용, 장기간의 연구개발이 이루어져왔다. 하지만, 최근 몇 년간 급변하는 기술의 발전과 안보상황을 통해 방위산업에서도 체계개발간에 있어 비용절감과 개발기간 단축의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이에 민수 분야의 부품 모듈화 전략을 방위산업에서 활용하기 위해 OO 사업 LRU(Line Replaceable Unit)들의 모듈화 우선순위를 도출하고자 한다. 프로젝트 평가기법 중 하나인 GRA(Grey Relational Analysis)를 사용하였으며, 문헌연구를 통해 선정된 6개의 평가지표 데이터를 수집하여 OO 사업의 11개 모듈에 대하여 우선순위를 선정하였다. 그 결과, M11(메인보드)과 M8(EMI모듈), M3(싱글보드컴퓨터)의 Grey 관계등급이 0.83, 0.81, 0.80 순으로 도출되었고, 우선순위에 따라 모듈화 하는 것이 비용 절감 및 기간 단축의 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 유사 무기체계 개발이나 향후 성능개량 사업 등을 고려한 LRU 모듈화 설계 시, 모듈화 적용 판단 및 의사결정의 근거가 되는 기초 연구로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
