The K-11 complex rifle, once elevated as a luxury weapon, has exited.

At the end of last year, the Defense Project Promotion Committee decided to suspend the business because defects such as a low accuracy rate and cracks in the fire control system could not be resolved.



There are tens of billions of dollars that have been entered so far, so the settlement process is currently in progress.

Although the court ruling and the audit results of the Audit and Inspection Service point out the lack of R&D of the Defense Science Research Institute and the project management of the Radiation Administration, the K-11's leaving behind is grim as it is pretending to be unaware and is transferring all responsibility to mass production companies.



The court and the auditor concluded that the design and defense standards were wrong from the beginning, and that it was the responsibility of the Radiation Administration and ADD that could not be properly caught. is.

The Radiation Administration is making up for the loss of the K-11 complex rifle by stubbornly stopping payments for other weapons systems that are due to companies.




● Auditor and Court "Design/Defense Standards Wrong"



ADD was in charge of designing the K-11 composite rifle and drafting the defense standards.

The National Defense Agency (ADD) proposed and approved the design and defense standards proposed by ADD to the Logistics Procurement Subcommittee.

And based on this design and national defense standards, the Bangsaeng Agency signed a purchase contract with S&T Motiv.



S&T Motiv mass-produced 914 tablets from June 2010 to December 2013.

The Radiation Administration paid about 41.2 billion won to companies in the name of starting money, intermediate payment, and product price.

However, there was a crack in the fire control system and the accuracy was not very good.

The effective range did not come out enough.

During the development process, the K-11, which was called a Korean luxury weapon, became an awkward complex.



There was a big fight over who was responsible.

They all aimed at the business and blamed it.

Because the project could not be completed in time, the Bangsaeng Office also imposed a delay prize of 3 billion won to S&T Motiv.



It was an atmosphere that was ended by a company's error, but when the auditor released a report on the results of the audit at the end of last year, it began to be covered up well.

The auditor nailed, "ADD made a military specification that could not satisfy the K-11's operational performance," and "The Defense Acquisition Program Administration did not properly review whether the national defense specification was written in conformity with operational operational performance, and approved it." It.

The auditor's conclusion is, "We signed a purchase contract based on such a defense specification, and we were able to deliver a rifle that did not meet the performance."



In a lawsuit against a 3 billion won delay award, the Supreme Court said in November of last year, "Regardless of the reason attributable to the company, the imposition of the delay compensation is unfair because the (project) was delayed in the process of making up for design defects that were not found at the time of R&D." Ruled.

The Supreme Court clearly cited ADD's design flaws and saw that the company wasn't responsible for delays.



● Nevertheless, is the company responsible?



The judgment of the auditor and the court was that "The cause of the failure of the K-11 rifle was due to a defect in the design of ADD and the national defense standards, and the Radiation Administration did not properly manage the project"

The roots of business failure have been revealed by cross checks by the state's prestigious judicial and audit organizations.



If so, it is reasonable to assume that the government is responsible for the failure of the K-11 business.

The government was to be held accountable, but the grumpy of the Radiation Office was triggered.

The Radiation Administration is pressing S&T Motiv to take out all the money that went into the mass production process.



The Radiation Administration requested compensation for damages from the company, asking the company to spit out all the commissions, intermediate payments, product prices, and contract performance deposits already paid.

S&T Motiv also went on a countersuit.

The size of the tangled lawsuits amounted to 320 billion.



The lawsuit has not been decided, but the Radiation Administration is preemptively settling the bill by collecting extra money for the company.

S&T Motiv supplied the K-4 high-speed grenade launcher to the military, and the government did not pay money for the goods.



Due to the results of last year's audit of the audit and the Supreme Court ruling, the cause of the failure of the K-11 compound rifle has largely been resolved.

ADD incorrectly wrote the design and national defense standards, and the radiation agency did not properly verify them, so the company started mass production according to the poor design and national defense standards.

If the whereabouts of the mistake is identified, you can take responsibility accordingly.

It is difficult to understand the behavior of the Radiation Administration, which wastes national money and business money, and takes time and passes responsibility through the trick of lawsuits and set-offs.
