Abstract

Disasters are causing significant damage to the lives and property of our society and are recognized as social problems that need to be solved nationally and globally. The 4th industrial revolution technologies affecting society as a whole such as the Internet of Things(IoT), Artificial Intelligence(AI), Drones(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), and Big Data are continuously absorbed into the disaster and safety industries as scientific and technological tools for solving social problems. Very soon, twenty-nine domestic UAV-related organizations/companies will complete the construction of a multicopter type small UAV integrated system ('17~'20) that can be operated at disaster and security sites. The current work considers and proposes the mid-to-long term R&D direction of disaster UAV as a strategic asset of the national disaster response system. First, the trends of disaster and safety industry and policy are analyzed. Subsequently, the development status and future plans of small UAV, securing shortage technology, and strengthening competitiveness are analyzed. Finally, step-by-step R&D direction of disaster UAV in terms of development strategy, specialized mission, platform, communication, and control and operation is proposed.

재난·재해는 우리 사회의 인명과 재산에 막대한 피해를 주고 있으며, 국가적으로 해결해야 할 사회문제로서 인식되고 있다. 사물인터넷, 인공지능, 드론(무인기), 빅 데이터와 같은 4차 산업혁명 기술들은 과학·기술적 사회문제해결 도구로서 재난·안전산업 분야에도 흡수되면서 사회 전반에 영향을 미치고 있다. 국내 무인기 관련 29개 기관/기업은 재난치안 현장에서 운용 가능한 멀티콥터형 소형무인기 통합시스템 구축('17~'20)을 완료할 예정이다. 본 논문은 국가 재난대응 체계의 전략 자산으로서 재난치안용 무인기의 중장기적인 발전 방향을 고찰하고자 한다. 먼저, 재난안전 산업 및 정책 동향을 분석하고, 소형무인기 개발현황 및 향후계획, 부족기술 확보, 경쟁력 강화 방안 고찰을 통해 개발전략, 특화임무, 플랫폼, 통신, 관제, 운용 측면에서 재난치안용 무인기의 단계별 연구개발 방향을 제안한다.
