초록

본 연구는 북핵위협에 대응하기 위해 해양기반 3축체계 고도화 방안을 핵잠재력 보유 시 고도화 방안을 중심으로 제시하였다. 핵잠재력 보유 시 여러 무기체계 중 현실적이고 전략적 가치가 높은 원자력 추진 잠수함에 대한 도입 필요성, 타국 운용사례, 기술수준 분석, 원자력 추진 잠수함 확보 방향을 제시하였다. 합동전투발전요소 측면에서 제시한 해군이 수행해야 할 과제는 원자력 추진 잠수함 확보를 위해 해군이 중심이 되어 지속적인 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다.

Abstract

This study proposes enhancement measures for the maritime-based three-axis system in response to North Korea’s nuclear threat, with a particular focus on advancement options under a nuclear-latency framework. Among various weapon systems that could be developed under nuclear latency, the research highlights the necessity of acquiring nuclear-powered submarines, given their realism and high strategic value. It also examines foreign operational cases, assesses relevant technological maturity, and presents potential pathways for securing nuclear-powered submarines. From the perspective of joint capability development, the tasks assigned to the ROK Navy indicate that it must take a leading role and maintain continuous effort to ensure the successful acquisition and integration of nuclear-powered submarines.
