  Abstract

The accelerating development of artificial intelligence (AI), coupled with recent experiences in ongoing conflicts, underscores the extent to which emerging technologies are reshaping the fundamental paradigm of warfare. Confronted with structural challenges such as declining birth rate and the transformation of warfighting paradigms, the ROKA has launched Defense Innovation 4.0. This study examines strategies for constructing a Strong Military through AI-driven Science and Technology and critically analyzes the key challenges encountered in this transformation. By contextualizing the U.S. OFFSET strategies within the broader trajectory for the ROKA's pursuit of Army TIGER, an AI-driven future force initiative. The research highlights three fundamental challenges in advancing AI-enabled defense innovation: the systematic development of battlefield data, the integration of hyper-connected data, and the enhancement of data-centric security. The study further explores potential approaches to mitigate these challenges. Ultimately, the construction of a Strong Military through AI-driven Science and Technology requires more than technological innovation; it necessitates a comprehensive paradigm shift encompassing large-scale data governance, resilient connectivity, and robust data protection mechanism.
