In this paper, the current status and problems of Korea's Defense Acquisition System are analyzed and the direction of the integration of its weapons system and force support (non-weapon) system is suggested. When the Defense Acquisition Program Agency (DAPA) was opened in 2006, the acquisition of weapons systems was assigned to it, and the tasks related to the force support (non-weapon) system were given to the Ministry of National Defense, including to each military force. Because of the duality in the accomplishment of the relative organizations’ tasks, considerable difficulties are emerging in budgeting and executing each program. Accordingly, this study suggests the integration of the dualistic classification systems into a single weapons system, the assignment of the requirement proposal tasks to JCS (Joint Chief of Staff), and the assignment of decision-making tasks to the Ministry of National Defense. This study also suggests the division of the development and acquisition tasks between DAPA and the pertinent military forces in accordance with the nature of the munitions. The further shape and standard management tasks in the overall operations and maintenance of munitions belong to the Ministry of National Defense. Finally, this study produced several assignments to reform organizations and systems for effective project management, including experiments and evaluations.
