초록

극초음속 활공 비행체는 로켓 부스터에 의해 높은 고도로 올라가서 부스터에서 분리된 후 대기권 내에서 진행 방향을 바꾸면서 약 30~70km 고도에서 마하 5 이상의 극초음속으로 활공한다. 이는 포물선 궤적이 아닌 예측 불가능한 비행경로로 이동하므로 현재 미사일 방어 체계로 요격이 어렵다. 미국은 2010년대 초에 HTV-2와 AHW 비행시험을 수행하여 극초음속 활공 비행 가능성을 확인했고, 최근에 LRHW, ARRW 등 극초음속 활공 비행체 시스템을 개발하고 있다. 중국은 DF-ZF (WU-14) 활공 비행체를 2014년부터 비행시험을 수차례 수행했고 DF-17 미사일에 탑재하여 운용하고 있다. 러시아는 구소련 시절부터 극초음속 활공 비행체 연구를 수행했지만 실패를 거듭했고 근래에 Avangard (Yu-71) 활공 비행체를 SS-19 ICBM에 탑재하여 비행시험에 성공하였다. 본 논문에서는 미국, 중국, 러시아, 일본, 인도, 유럽에서 개발했거나 현재 개발 중인 극초음속 활공 비행체의 특성, 비행시험 사례 및 개발 동향을 고찰하였다.

The hypersonic glide vehicle ascends to a high altitude by a rocket booster, separates it from the booster, and glides at a hypersonic speed of Mach 5 or higher at an altitude of about 30~70 km, changing its direction in the atmosphere. Since it moves on an unpredictable flight path rather than a parabolic trajectory, it is difficult to intercept with current missile defense systems. The U.S. conducted HTV-2 and AHW flight tests in the early 2010s to confirm the possibility of hypersonic gliding flights, and recently it has been developing hypersonic glide vehicle systems such as LRHW and ARRW. China has conducted several flight tests of the DF-ZF (WU-14) glide vehicle since 2014 and has been operating it with DF-17 missiles. Russia has conducted hypersonic glide vehicle research since the former Soviet Union, but it has repeatedly failed, and recently it has been successfully tested with the Avangard (Yu-71) glide vehicle mounted on the SS-19 ICBM. In this paper, the characteristics, flight test cases, and development trends of hypersonic glide vehicles developed or currently being developed in the United States, China, Russia, Japan, India, and Europe are reviewed and summarized.
