선진국의 군(軍) 정보조직 운영사례를 통해 본 한국군의 정보조직 발전방향 = Development direction on the Intelligence Structure of the Korean Military by a Study on the Intelligence Systems of Advanced Countries

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is now in the fourth industrial revolution of super-intelligence, super-connection, and super-large data transmission through the era of simple computer and internet. Developed military forces are operating various intelligence collection systems to seek the advantage of information in the enhancement of military forces.
The characteristics of the U.S. military intelligence system are organized and operated by eight military intelligence agencies, led by the Director of Defense Intelligence(DIA). The intelligence service areas handled by each agency are clearly divided as SIGINT’s task is NSA, Satellite management’s NRO, IMINT’s NGA. In addition, the each military has established and operated IMINT and SIGINT collection systems that support each military operation using basic intelligence(like Meta data) provided by NSA and NGA.
The Japanese Self-Defense Forces are operating an intelligence gathering system that completely matches the operational characteristics of each military. In order to recognize the intrusion of the enemy's aircraft or vessels, missiles in advance, the Self-Defense Forces are operating a SIGINT system. In particular, the Air Self-Defense Force operates the COMINT and ELINT systems together to monitor call between the pilot and controller to track the number, type and path of intrusion aircraft. In addition, Japan DIH will carry out tasks such as COMINT, ELINT, FISINT, IMINT, and HUMINT among a handful of elite people.
Therefore, the Korean military also needs to develop an intelligence collection system and organization to support each military as a specialized minority considering the geographical situation on the Korean Peninsula and the intelligence collection system of advanced countries. When primary information collected and utilized by each military is transmitted to the Intelligence headquarters, data obtained by various means and data produced through the secondary convergence analysis should be returned to each military. Intelligence dominance is a key factor in future warfare. The South Korean military should establish and build a concept of surveillance inspection for the operational environment of the Korean Peninsula so that it can monitor the entire peninsula at all times.
