Abstract

In line with the recent wave of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the environment for defense R&D is transforming into a center of high-tech military technology. In particular, developed countries are strengthening control of technology exports and technology transfer to protect advanced defense science and technology. For this reason, the budget demand for securing the ability to develop independently high-tech weapons and core technologies suitable for the future battlefield environment is increasing, and increasing efficiency in R&D investment has been highlighted for efficient distribution of limited budgets. This study examined the efficiency of the defense basic R&D project using the non-parametric approach, DEA. The R&D budget, R&D researcher, and R&D period were selected as the input variables, and the number of papers and patents were used as output variables. The efficiency of basic R&D projects was analyzed through CCR, BCC models, and SE. Lastly, based on the efficiency measurements, the cause of the inefficiency of R&D projects was suggested, and ways to improve efficiency were suggested. This study is expected to be used as useful information that can be applied to project performance management through efficiency analysis of basic defense R&D projects and be reflected in the project planning stage through feedback.

최근 4차 산업혁명의 거대 물결에 맞춰 국방 연구개발의 환경은 첨단 군사기술 중심으로 변모하고 있으며, 특히 선진국은 첨단 국방과학기술의 보호를 위해 기술수출 및 기술이전에 대한 통제를 강화하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 미래 전장환경에 맞는 첨단무기 및 핵심기술의 독자개발 능력 확보를 위한 예산 요구가 증가하고 있으며, 한정된 예산의 효율적 배분을 위해 연구개발 투자에 대한 효율성 제고가 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비모수적 접근법인 자료포락분석(Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA)을 활용하여 국방 기초연구개발 사업에 대한 효율성을 분석하고자 한다. 투입변수로 연구비, 연구인력, 연구기간을 선정하였고, 산출 변수로는 논문, 특허 건수를 사용하였다. CCR(Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes), BCC(Banker, Charnes and Cooper) 모형 및 규모 효율성(Scale Efficiency, SE)을 통해 기초연구개발 사업에 대한 효율성을 분석하였다. 마지막으로 효율성 측정결과를 바탕으로 비효율적인 연구개발 사업은 비효율성의 원인을 제시하고 효율성 개선방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구 국방 기초연구개발 사업에 대한 효율성 분석을 통해 과제 성과관리에 활용하고 환류를 통해 과제기획 단계에 반영할 수 있는 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
