A Study on the Improving Plan of Defense Technology Planning Considering Technology Development and the Defense Planning System

This paper proposes an improved approach to defense technology planning that enhances the linkage with the defense planning system, enabling a harmonious execution of technology-centric and capability-based planning. Based on the qualitative research methodology, this study derives its findings through analysis of relevant cases and data. To address the structural limitations of existing defense technology planning, the paper suggests a new approach that allows defense strategic technologies to complement future joint operational concepts from a technical perspective. This approach facilitates project planning for key and future disruptive defense technologies, contributing to the achievement of national defense policy and strategic goals. By integrating technology-centric and capability-based planning, this study highlights a strategic framework for preparing for future battlefield environments, setting it apart from previous research.
