초록

본 논문에서는 기존 가시선(LOS) 레이더 기반 유도무기 중기유도 통신의 한계를 극복하기 위해 저궤도(LEO) 군집 위성망, 자유공간 광통신(FSO), 양자 암호·항법, 비행 애드혹 네트워크(FANET)를 융합한 다층적 통신 아키텍처를 제안한다. 특히 극초음속 기동 시 발생하는 플라즈마 블랙아웃, 거대한 도플러 편이, 공력 가열 등의 물리적 난제를 해결하기 위한 지능형 보상 알고리즘 및 등각 배열 안테나(conformal AESA) 적용 방안을 제시하여, 미래 통합전 환경에서 유도무기의 생존성과 타격 정밀도를 극대화하는 방향을 고찰한다.

Abstract

This study proposes a multilayered communication architecture that converges low Earth orbit satellite constellations, free-space optical communication, quantum cryptography and navigation, and flying ad hoc networks to overcome the limitations of conventional line-of-sight radar-based mid-course guidance for guided weapons. In particular, we present intelligent compensation algorithms and conformal array antenna application methods to resolve physical challenges such as plasma blackout, massive Doppler shifts, and aerodynamic heating during hypersonic maneuvers, thereby exploring directions to maximize the survivability and strike precision of guided weapons in future multidomain warfare environments.
