Abstract

This study presents a method to efficiently advance the Republic of Korea's Unmanned Systems through the analysis of the development of the U.S. Unmanned System Policy. After the occurrence of the September 11 attacks, the U.S. developed Unmanned Systems as a part of RMA and became the leader in this area. The system went through numerous trials and errors during the development and acquisition. From these experiences, the U.S. had embodied Unmanned Systems acquisition methods by establishing Unmanned Systems Development Guidance and DoD Autonomy Community of Interest in 2012. In addition, as diverse unmanned programs started to proceed, it promoted Core Technology development sharing and simplification of functions of the Unmanned Systems to exclude budget-wasting elements such as duplication of programs. The Republic of Korea must politically build a collaborative system between industry/academia/research institute/military and apply evolutionary development strategies from the first step of the development of the Unmanned Systems the future Game Changer. In operations, concepts of the Manned/Unmanned Systems complex operation should be established and intelligent S/W, Open System, and Cyber Security technologies to materialize them developed.

본 논문은 미국 무인체계 정책의 발전과정에 대한 분석을 통하여 시행착오를 최소화하여 효율적으로 한국의 무인체계를 발전시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 미국은 2001년 9·11테러 이후 군사혁신 차원에서 무인체계 개발에 집중하여 선도국가가 되었다. 미국은 무인체계를 발전시키면서 개발 및 획득 과정에서 수많은 시행착오를 겪었다. 이에 따라 2012년에 무인체계 개발지침을 마련하고 국방 무인화위원회를 발족시켜 무인체계 획득방안을 구체화했다. 또 다양한 무인화 사업이 진행되면서 사업의 중복성 등 예산 낭비 요소를 제거하고자 핵심기술 개발 공유 및 무인체계 기능 단순화를 추진하였다. 한국도 미래형 게임체인저인 무인체계를 개발하는 초기단계부터 정책적으로 산·학·연·군 간의 협업체계를 구축하고, 진화적 개발 전략을 적용해야 한다. 또 운용분야에서는 유·무인체계 복합작전 개념을 정립하고, 이를 구현하기 위한 지능형 S/W와 개방형 구조, 사이버 보안기술을 발전시켜야 한다.
