초록

본 연구는 현대전의 게임 체인저로 급부상한 자폭용 드론의 중요성을 인식하고, 기존 유도무기와 비교 분석하여 두 전력의 효율적인 운용을 위한 전술적 운용개념을 확인하였다. 특히, 급속도로 발전하는 드론 기술이 현용 무기체계 획득 제도의 한계에 부딪혀 있음을 진단하고, 이를 극복하기 위한 다각도의 확보 방안을 도출하였다. 나아가 자폭용 드론의 해양 운용 조건을 제시함으로써 우리 군이 향후 확보해야 할 요구성능을 구체화하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 실효성 있는 발전 방향을 제시하였다.

Abstract

This study recognizes the growing importance of suicide drones, which have rapidly emerged as a gamechanger in modern warfare. By conducting a comparative analysis between suicide drones and guided missiles, this study identifies operational concepts for the efficient operation of both weapon systems. Furthermore, it investigates the limitations of current weapon system acquisition processes in competing with rapidly evolving drone technology and suggests multifaceted procurement strategies to overcome these challenges. Additionally, by proposing operational conditions for deploying suicide drones in maritime environments, this study specifies the required performance capabilities the military must secure in the future and presents effective directions for the development of these capabilities.
