Abstract

North Korea has recently developed and deployed missiles with various ranges as asymmetrical forces. Among them, short-range ballistic missiles with improved accuracy are expected to aim at achieving tactical goals by hitting important military facilities in Korea with a small number of missiles. Damage to the air force airfields, one of North Korea's main targets of missiles attack, could limit the operation of air force fighters essential to gaining air superiority. Based on the attack by the short range ballistic missiles, the damage probability of military airfields was simulated. And as the one of the concepts of passive defense, the way to reduce the loss of combat power was studied through the changes of the air force squadrons deployment. As a result, the effective deployment plan could be obtained to reduce the amount of power loss compared to the current deployment.

북한은 비대칭 전력으로 다양한 사거리의 미사일을 개발해 실전 배치했다. 이들 미사일 가운데 단거리 탄도미사일은 정확도를 향상시켜 적은 수의 미사일로 우리 군의 주요시설을 타격해 전술목표를 달성하는 것을 목표로 할 것으로 예상된다. 이는 전시 북한의 주요 공격 대상 중에 하나인 비행장에 대한 중대한 위협으로, 만약 공격을 받을 경우 전시 항공 우위 확보에 필수적인 공군 전투기의 운용을 제한할 수 있다. 이에 따라 위협이 되는 단거리탄도탄을 기반으로 군 비행장별 피해확률을 시뮬레이션하였고, 소극적인 방어의 일환으로 전력배치 변화를 통해 전투력 손실 감소 방안을 연구하였다. 그 결과 현재 배치에 비해 전력의 손실량을 줄일 수 있는 배치방안을 도출할 수 있었다.
