Abstract

Recently, advancement of AI-enabled autonomous MUM-T combat system and industrial revitalization are rapidly emerging as global issues. However, the Defense Business Act of the Ministry of National Defense in Korea is judged to be somewhat insufficient compared to NATO leading countries in advancement of operation part of a weapon system as MUM-T is centered on a weapon system's own device. We established the concept of AI-enabled autonomous MUM-T to strengthen international competitiveness of complex combat systems such as future global UGV, UAV, and UMS. In addition, NATO and US-centered autonomy, interoperability, and data standardization-based defense AI MUM-T top-level platform construction and operation plan, establishment of a national defense innovation committee such as the National Science and Technology Advisory Council, review and advisory function reinforcement, and additional governance measures are proposed.

최근 국내·외 적으로 AI 기반의 MUM-T 복합전투체계 고도화와 이를 통한 산업의 활성화가 글로벌 이슈로 급부상하고 있다. 그러나 우리의 국방부 방위사업법은 무기체계 자체기기 중심으로 MUM-T 실증이 이루어져 무기체계의 운용 부분에 대한 고도화에 NATO 선도국 대비 다소 미흡한 것으로 판단된다. 우리의 미래 글로벌 UGV, UAV, UMS 등 MUM-T 복합전투체계의 국제경쟁력 강화를 위해서는 자율화 MUM-T 개념 정립, 자율화·상호운용성·데이터 표준화 기반의 국방 AI MUM-T 최상위 플랫폼 구축과 운용, 국가과학기술자문회의와 같은 대통령소속의 국방혁신위원회의 신설과 심의·자문 기능 강화·추가가 요구된다.
