Ammunition is the key materiel to be secured for successful warfighting. To ensure performance and lifespan of ammunition for its readiness, it is required to conduct the ASRP(Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program) in a timely manner, so that appropriate measures, such as maintenance and disposal, can be taken. In the current state, however, the primary focus of management is on the fielding and operation stages, causing several issues in conducting ASRP. A notable example is overseas introduction of guided missiles, where acquisition is mainly based on performances, and thus the ASRP capability is limited during operational maintenance. Also, the munitions to be evaluated outnumber the capacity due to insufficient budget as well as low ASRP capability originated from shortage of domestic test ranges and deterioration of equipments. Therefore, this study is classified into two areas studying 1) the priority levels of undergoing projects aimed towards improving an efficient ASRP work system and 2) realistic adjustments necessary towards functional test cycles. First, the priority values of each project promoting the improvement of an efficient ASRP work system were determined through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). 'Securement of appropriate level of ASRP budget' showed the highest value of priority at 0.1373, followed by 'innovation and development of ammunition lifespan estimation & enhancement technology' at 0.1085. 'Reinforcement of equipment and facilities for testing guided missiles & assessment capability for 'time change items' showed the third highest value of priority at 0.0999, followed by 'reinforcement of domestic testing ranges for ASRP' at 0.0947. In the meantime, 'improvement of system for ASRP follow-up procedures via information system' project resulted in the lowest priority value at 0.0208. Second, concurrent study of both statistical and qualitative data was carried out in order to realistically adjust the functional test cycles. The review showed that test cycles for small calibers, fragmentation grenades, white phosphorus (WP) & smoke grenades, demolition blocks, percussion fuzes, land mines, mine fuzes and ignition devices that have either been reformed for improved performance or replaced by new ammo due to insensibility of filling material's combustible characteristic should be extended. Meanwhile, the review suggested test cycles for pyrotechnics, where the current cycle might allow for malfunction rate greater than 5%, be shortened.
