This paper presents an improvement plan for the cost management system of a military executive agency in the supply field. The military introduced an executive agency system to improve the efficiency of defense operations. As of 2022, 18 units, including the land, sea, and air general supply depots, are being operated as military executive agencies. The first step in improving management efficiency is establishing a cost management system. It is necessary to eliminate inefficient processes, redundant or unnecessary work, and cost information is an approach to improve work efficiency. Currently, military executive agencies manage costs based on arbitrary standards set by the cost manager of each institution instead of systematic standards. Consequently, cost management is superficial and has not led to cost reduction. Furthermore, because the cost management standards are inconsistent, it is impossible to use them for comparing and analyzing the cost information of each institution. In particular, it is recommended that cost information be synthesized and utilized without data omission by establishing a common standard according to the guidelines for calculating corporate logistics costs announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport and using the national defense-integrated financial information system. Finally, the application of data-based analytical procedures can improve the efficiency of military operating agencies by identifying abnormal areas and eliminating inefficient processes.

Research on weapon systems has been conducted, and defense drones have been developed. However, few analyses that identify the needs of the general public have been conducted. The purpose of this study is to analyze the issues of interest in social networks regarding defense drones and extract keywords for activation. In this study, big data analysis tools such as Textom, Ucinet6, and NetDraw were used. The results of the keyword frequency analysis, centrality analysis, and CONCOR analysis showed that public information regarding social networks expressed keywords in defense drones, such as Defense Daily, News, Enterprise, Defense Science Research Institute, University, Hydrogen Battery, Army, Air Force, Urban Transportation, Fire, Regional, Enterprise, and Research. It is necessary to revitalize media publicity in developing cooperative technologies by companies, universities, the National Defense Research Institute, urban transportation, and firefighting, using army and air force drones, and developing future hydrogen batteries. In addition, issues of interest were observed for contents, such as applications in the United States, Israel, North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan, and fostering university education. There is a need to present a case for the actual military use of defense drones and train the department of defense drones at universities.

The purpose of this study is to numerically derive the combat effect of intangible combat power on the battlefield and to confirm the importance of the components of intangible combat power on the derived combat effect. Nearly half of defense spending is used every year to improve defense capabilities for the construction of tangible combat forces, but the expenditure for the construction of intangible forces is insignificant. The reason why it is passive in building intangible combat power is that tangible combat power can be identified as a numerical value, but the increase or decrease in intangible combat power cannot be identified. This imbalance in the construction of tangible and intangible combat forces is likely to halve the integrated exercise of combat power in an actual battlefield. Therefore, for the construction of balanced combat power, research is urgently required to confirm the importance of quantifying and deriving combat effects on how intangible combat power is exerted in combat. In this study, the combat effect of intangible combat power was analyzed in terms of space, time, and combat power, and the difference in the combat results of computer simulation (Vision 21) under the same conditions as those for KCTC combat training was assumed and compared. The analysis results confirmed that the combat effect of the intangible combat force exerted at the KCTC combat site was 28.7%, which did not exert a combat effect of 71.3%. The importance of the components of the intangible combat force that affect the combat effect of the intangible combat force derived in this way was analyzed using a statistical analysis program applying linear regression analysis. The analysis results confirmed the requirements and priorities of future education and training through complementary needs and rankings according to the importance of the components.
