The 'depot maintenance' is the highest level of maintenance among various kinds of weapon systems that requires high-end technology.
Especially, it is very important to have the ability of depot maintenance for technology-intensive aircraft weapon systems as Republic of Korea is highly dependant on the technological knowhow of foreign countries.
Also it is anticipated that phenomenon of the main supporting countries incremental reluctance to transfer technology to other nations will worsen. This provides a motive for Korea to make a commitment to promoting upgrade in depot maintenance capability in order to establish a solid ground for self-reliant national defense. Thus, this thesis examines current operational status of aircraft maintenance for 'Republic of Korea Air Force(ROKAF)' and proposes solutions to improving depot maintenance quality, organizational & personnel development as well as effective maintenance policies that are fit for changes in prospective defense conditions and maintenance systems.
