초록

본 연구는 서해에서의 북한 고속상륙함(공기부양정) 침투 위협에 대응하기 위한 수상전 전용 무인수상정(USV) 운용개념을 임무공학(mission engineering) 기반으로 정립하였다. 임무 문제 정의, 임무 스레드(MT), 임무공학 스레드(MET) 분석, 성공·효과성·성능 척도를 도출하여 탐지-식별-추적-차단-교전-평가의 6단계로 구성된 운용개념을 설계하였다. 유·무인 복합작전(MUM-T)과 네트워크 중심작전(NCW)을 적용하여 실시간 정보 공유와 전장 상황 인식을 강화하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 현장 환경 기반의 개념 검증 절차를 통해 실효성을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 한국해군의 미래 수상전 교리 발전과 무인체계 적용을 위한 실질적 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Abstract

This study establishes a mission-engineering-based operational concept for unmanned surface vehicles(USVs) dedicated to surface warfare, focusing on countering North Korean high-speed landing craft threats in the West Sea. Utilizing the mission engineering (ME) framework, the research defines the mission problem, analyzes mission threads (MT) and mission engineering threads (MET), and derives measures of success (MoS), effectiveness (MoE), and performance (MoP). The resulting six-phase operational sequence—detection, identification, tracking, interdiction, engagement, and assessment—is supported by manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) and network-centric warfare (NCW) concepts. The proposed concept is verified through simulation and field-based evaluation. This study provides a foundational reference for the Republic of Korea Navy's future doctrine development and practical integration of autonomous maritime systems into operational planning.
