Abstract

The Kinzal missile launched by Russia in Ukraine and flew on March 5 or more speeds is the first hypersonic cruise missile used in combat. High speed leads to destructive solid power, and the security system's interception time is significantly reduced. Therefore, hypersonic missiles could be a game-changer. Even the United States, with its multi-layered defense system, admits the difficulty of intercepting it. Military powers like the United States, Russia, China and North Korea are focus on developing hypersonic missiles as offensive weapons, but their defense system capabilities are inadeqate. From this perspective, this paper identifies significant countrie's hypersonic missile development status and defense system capabilities and seeks to derive a countermeasure for the ROK military.

최근 러시아가 우크라이나에 발사한 킨잘 미사일은 실전에서 최초로 사용된 극초음속 순항미사일 마하 5이상의 빠른 속력으로 비행한다. 빠른 속력은 강력한 파괴력으로 이어지며, 방어체계의 요격가능시간을 극단적으로 단축시킨다. 따라서 극초음속 미사일은 다층화된 방어체계가 구축된 미국조차도 요격에 어려움을 인정하고 있는 게임체인저가 될 수 있다. 미국, 러시아, 중국 및 북한 등 군사강국 들은 공격무기인 극초음속 미사일 개발에 집중하고 있으나 방어체계 능력은 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 논문은 주요국의 극초음속 미사일 개발현황과 방어체계 능력을 식별하고 이를 기반으로 우리 군의 대응방안을 모색하고자 한다.
