Defense Acquisition Policy and Defense Industrial Base Reinforcement Strategy - Enhancing the International Competitiveness of the Korean National Defense Industry
Abstract
With the rapid evolution of the global defense management environment, an innovative strategy to reinforce the international competitiveness of the National Defense Industry (NDI) through competitiveness analysis is required. Thus, it is necessary to develop appropriate models for analyzing the Korean NDI and to conduct competitiveness analysis by using the developed model. For the purpose of analyzing the international competitiveness of the Korean NDI, the researcher reviews the characteristics and problems for various existing models and the competitiveness analysis results for other civil industries. He then compares the attributes of the NDI with civil industries and analyzes the critical technology competitiveness of the NDI for major nations. In addition, he examines the defense policies under the worldwide reform of the defense management environment and the global change of the international defense market. The researcher develops the Pentagon-Defense 8 Factors (P-D8F) model, a proposed optimum analysis model for the NDI, by applying the results of the analysis for various existing models while considering the unique characteristics of the NDI. He then analyzes the international competitiveness of the Korean NDI by using the P-D8F model, and derives the reinforcement strategy to enhance the global competitiveness for the Korean NDI. Finally, he suggests a possible defense acquisition policy to promote the desired technological innovation and to improve the management environment effectively.
