초록

본 연구에서는 레이더와 전자광학·적외선 센서를 통합한 함정 복합 대드론체계에서 전자광학·적외선 센서가 식별과 정밀 추적의 핵심 역할을 수행하는 운용개념을 정리하고, 탐지, 추적, 식별, 교전, 효과 평가의 다섯 단계 교전 사이클에서 센서 역할 분담을 제시하였다. 또한 해상 환경 요소를 대기 광학, 해면 배경, 함정 플랫폼의 세 범주로 구분하여 센서 성능과 운용 단계에 미치는 영향을 정성적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과는 함정 자체방어 능력 확보를 위한 체계공학적 의사결정의 기반을 제공한다.

Abstract

This study presents a concept of operations for electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors within shipboard hybrid counter-UAS systems, defining the sensor role distribution across the detect–track–identify–engage–assess engagement cycle. Maritime environmental factors were categorized into atmospheric optical, sea background, and ship platform groups, and their qualitative effects on EO/IR performance were analyzed.
