절충교역을 통해 획득한 연구개발 기술의 활용성과 분석

Offset trade has been applied in Republic of Korea's defense acquisitionprograms since early 1980s and used for national economic development as well asenhancement of military capabilities. The accumulated offset trade value amounts to over10 billion dollars by 2010. However, questions in regards to the effectiveness of offsettrade have been constantly raised. As it is a quite difficult task to analyze and calculatethe application performance of defense technologies acquired by offsets objectively,limited level of quantitative analysis of application performance have been conducted sofar. Hence, in this paper, we came to understand the overall status of application of thosetechnologies through in-depth performance analysis and suggested some specific policiesfor the further development of offset trade based on the analysis results. To begin with, we developed a questionnaire based on performance indicator deductedthrough literature review of relevant researches, and conducted survey of major offsetrecipients. Also, another survey of offset experts belonged to the army, governmentorganization, research institute and companies was conducted to evaluate the performanceand effectiveness of offsets qualitatively. And we analyzed the efficiency of applicationperformance using DEA. The results of all surveys are showing that there is positiveaccomplishment in the technological aspect, but in economic aspect, it shows relativelyinactive outcome. Based on these results, policy direction is considered to be changedfrom the emphasis on the acquisition of core technology to revitalization of domesticdefense industry in line with new government's policy orientation.
