Abstract

This paper presents the mega trends of technology and competitiveness analysis results based on patent analysis for establishing effective research and development (R&D) strategy on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in the aerial ICT industry. In order to analyze mega trends of UAV technologies, patent analysis is conducted focusing on published/registered patents of Korea, the U.S., Japan, and Europe. We divided the target technologies into 3 main category levels based on the converging technology of UAV and ICT. The 3,433 patents are collected. Patent indicators such as patent activity (PA), cites per patent (CPP), and major market expansion (MME) are extracted for grasping the technology competitiveness and Korea's competitiveness per sub category levels of UAV. We suggest the R&D strategy of each technology areas based on patent analysis results. We analyzed Korea's technology levels, advanced companies' R&D trends, and patent trends through patent information and expected that this paper would be utilized for establishment of R&D strategy of UAV in the future.

본 논문에서는 항공 ICT분야에서 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 대한 효율적인 연구 개발 전략 수립을 위하여 특허분석을 기반으로 기술의 메가트렌드 및 경쟁력 분석 결과를 제시한다. UAV 핵심 기술의 메가트렌드 분석을 위해 한국, 미국, 일본 및 유럽의 공개/등록 특허를 중심으로 특허 동향을 분석하였다. 분석 대상 기술은 UAV와 ICT기술이 융합이 되는 기술을 중심으로 3개의 소분류로 구분하였으며, 특허검색 결과 총 3,433건이 검색되었다. UAV 핵심 기술별 경쟁력 및 한국의 경쟁력을 분석하기 위하여 특허 활동력, 특허 피인용률 및 주요 시장 확보율을 분석 지표로 사용하였다. 각 핵심 기술에 대한 R&D 전략 영역을 제시하고 이를 기반으로 각 영역별 연구개발 전략을 제시하였다. 본 논문을 통해 우리나라의 기술 수준, 선진 기업의 연구 개발동향 및 핵심특허 현황 등을 객관적인 특허정보를 기반으로 분석하였으며, 향후 UAV 분야의 연구개발 및 특허 확보 전략 수립에 활용이 될 것으로 기대 한다.
