초록

본 연구는 유·무인복합전투체계의 안정적 운용을 위해 다중 슬롯 정비 개념 기반의 총수명주기관리 적용방안을 제시한다. 연구 결과, 제한적 재사용·소모성을 갖는 전투기협업무인항공기에는 2단계 정비체계, 저장 신뢰성 관리, 반복 획득 기반의 순환형 운영유지가 적합한 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 반복 운용과 회수를 전제로 하는 전투기협업무인전투기에는 성과기반군수지원과 운용·예비·저장 상태를 순환하는 동적 자산관리체계가 요구된다. 본 연구는 두 공중 무인비행체의 운용특성에 맞는 차별적 총수명주기관리 방향을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Abstract

In this study, we propose an application approach for Total Life Cycle System Management (TLCSM) based on the multi-slot maintenance concept to support the stable operation of manned-unmanned teaming. The results indicate that a circular sustainment structure based on a two-level maintenance system, storage reliability management, and recurring acquisition is suitable for small unmanned collaborative aircraft, which is characterized by limited reusability and expendable operation. In contrast, medium unmanned collaborative combat aircraft, which is based on repeated operation and recovery, requires performance-based logistics and a dynamic asset management system that circulates among operational, reserve, and storage states. This study is meaningful in that it presents a differentiated TLCSM direction reflecting the operational characteristics of the two systems.
