Greetings

21세기군사연구소(KRIMA)를 찾아주신 여러분, 환영합니다!

1953년 휴전협정 이래 대치상태가 지속되어 온 한국의 안보상황은 냉전시대의 종식과 함께 급격한 변화를 겪고 있습니다. 저희 연구소는 이러한 안보환경에 능동적으로 대처하고 민과 군이 하나가 되어 이 땅에 확고한 안전과 평화를 정착시키기 위하여 1993년 3월에 발족되었습니다. 2001년 2월 1일 국방부로부터 사단법인 21세기군사연구소로 인가된 후 연구소는 각종 연구과제의 수행과 정기간행물(KDR) 발행, 군사 안보관련 단행본 출판, 정기적인 세미나와 국제포럼 등을 통해 선진 국방인프라 발전에 기여하고 있습니다. 저희 연구소는 국가안보에 헌신해 온 전,현직 군관계자와 인재, 시민, 네티즌들의 적극적인 참여와 관심을 통해 한국군의 군사발전에 보탬이 되고자 합니다. 발족 이래 지금까지 축적된 지식역량과 경험을 바탕으로 새롭게 도약하고 있는 저희 연구소에 여러분들의 관심과 호응을 기대합니다.

Vision

Mission

Establishment Purpose

Forming a national security consensus and developing objective and independent security strategies and military policies are very vital in this era. Accordingly, we will establish and develop a full-scale national security research institute at a pure civilian level to induce active support and participation from the people for security, and to prepare the most effective security strategies and develop the most efficient military policies for this country and its people, free from the interests of specific individuals, small factions, or surrounding powerful nations.

Activity Goals

We aim to promote the formation of national security consensus and improve civil-military relations through information exchange and various events among the various security research societies of the institute, perform defense-related research based on creative and professional ideas, and contribute to national development by improving expertise in defense policy and defense science and technology.

Major Tasks

  • The institute performs defense-related research based on mutual exchange among members, promotes the formation of national security consensus and improvement of civil-military relations, and contributes to national development by improving expertise in defense policy and defense science and technology.
  • The institute induces participation and support from the people for security as well as academic research on policy and military technology, and contributes to the development of effective security strategies and military policies.
  • For 'Safety and Peace on the Korean Peninsula' and 'Development of Relations and Peaceful Unification between North and South Korea', we promote 1.5-track international security exchanges to form strategic consensus with neighboring countries and promote military exchange, mutual understanding, and trust.

Organization Chart

Advisory Committee

Establishing human networks between high-level former and current military leaders and retired generals of neighboring countries to form strategic consensus for 'Stability and Peace on the Korean Peninsula' and 'Development of Relations and Peaceful Unification between North and South Korea'; especially conducting 8 rounds of security exchanges with the China International Friendly Contact Association under the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as military diplomatic activities for military exchange and promotion of mutual understanding and trust on a 1.5-track basis, such as with Pacific Forum CSIS in the US, DRC in Japan, IDSA and USI in India, etc. (Activities centered on Advisors and Consultants)

Research Planning Team

While expert research committee activities are taking place across the entire defense strategy, policy, and defense acquisition fields, we operate a human resource pool system of industry-academic groups to supplement the disadvantages and maximize the advantages of non-profit incorporated associations for fields such as weapon acquisition analysis/evaluation and preliminary research, ORD research (OMS/MP development), C4I systems, information systems and wargames, system implementation and verification such as M&S, defense R&D, quality management, leadership, combat development and combat experiments, airworthiness certification, defense military facilities research such as blast/explosion resistance performance evaluation and facility standards, and translation teams. (Activities centered on registered research committee members and the pool system)

Donations to KRIMA (Korea Research Institute for Military Affairs)

KRIMA was established on February 22, 2001. Over the past period, the institute has steadily worked to develop national strategies and improve the defense acquisition field. All members have come together for academic research and to build national security consensus with the sole intention of contributing to national security. However, we are facing realistic difficulties in planning independent academic research and events to form security consensus, which are urgent tasks that must be promoted to achieve the goals of this corporation. Accordingly, this institute has been approved as a donation target organization designated by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance to receive donations from individuals, companies, and other corporations that agree with the intentions and will of this institute, and we intend to conduct active academic research activities in the strategy and acquisition fields that need realistic supplementation, and to actively work for national security consensus and national communication related to security. If you share the same intent and effort as this institute, we hope you will support our institute, which is working to strengthen the security of the Republic of Korea. Donations will be used efficiently for scientific research purposes and for forming and communicating consensus among the people as pursued by this institute, and the results will be uploaded to this institute's site (military.co.kr) to disclose the transparent management and results of donations to those who donated to this institute, so that the combined intentions and will can be further developed. The institute will clearly realize the precious purpose of donations and serve as a cornerstone for our country to go the 'Path of Peace', and will do its best to ensure active independent academic research and security-related communication with the people. We earnestly hope for your combined intentions and will.
