초록

본 논문에서는 병력 급감과 미래전의 불확실성에 대응하기 위해, ‘FMC(floating modular container) 기반 원격·자율함대’를 2040년대 해군의 핵심전력으로 제안한다. 이를 위해 모듈성·분산성·자율성을 핵심 운용개념으로 정립하고, 국내 국방전략기술 수준을 분석하여 투 트랙(two-track) 기술 확보 전략을 수립했다. 나아가 적응형 획득 프레임워크와 MOSA 기반의 단계별 로드맵을 통하여, FMC가 인력 절감과 생존성을 보장하는 미래 해전의 게임 체인저로서의 발전방향을 제시한다.

Abstract

This paper proposes a floating modular container (FMC)-based remote and autonomous fleet as a core naval asset for the 2040s to address the critical challenges of dramatic troop reduction and the uncertainties of future warfare. Hence, the paper defines modularity, distribution, and autonomy as key operational concepts and formulates a “two-track” technology acquisition strategy based on an analysis of domestic defence strategic technology capabilities. Furthermore, by presenting a phased roadmap utilizing the adaptive acquisition framework and modular open system approach (MOSA), this paper suggests development directions for the FMC to serve as a “game changer” in future naval warfare, ensuring both troop reduction and survivability.
