Nowadays, environmental issues are highlighted in the national and global business strategy and policy areas. These concerns can be applied to the management of military activities. This concept come from the notion that environmental security can take great parts in the national security. Also much of the literature on environment pollution in relation to weapon systems is being reported. Therefore, the Korean military have to develop their own environmental strategy which contribute to achievement of national security based on environmental soundness.
Our study is intended to raise awareness and provide effective guidance to the WSAM(weapon systems acquisition management) activities for pollution prevention, which have significant role in environmental protection.
We deduce military environmental strategy through SWOT analysis. From the results, we can suggest environmentally sound WSAM and incentive policy alternatives to develop environmental technology of domestic defense industry.
Next, we suggest a practical program to environmental management of Korean military. The key of environmentally sound WSAM is that the acquisition management have to consider not only historical focus (product performance, life-cycle cost and schedule), but also environmental impacts. We show the environmentally sound WSAM is effective by EMS based on ISO 14000 regulations which are conducted within a structured management system, and pollution prevention technologies which are induced from defense industry.
Also, we show that an incentive scheme to develop defense industry's environmental technology can be implemented as a perfect Markov equilibrium of the inducing game.
