Drones, which were originally developed for military purpose, have expanded rapidly not only in hobbies, leisure, but also in broadcasting, filming, and public sectors, and search and rescue drones have been used to find four Korean teachers who went to Nepal for volunteer work but went missing in the avalanche. The government is encouraging the use of drones in the public sector as a policy to foster the drone industry, and the market is expected to expand in the future. This study presents improvement measures and specific directions for use of drones by public agencies at a time when the use of drones is expanding in the public sector. To that end, this research reviewed the interviews of relevant experts, analysis of drone operation regulations by public agencies, and the cases of operation of drones for searching missing persons by police. First of all, it will have to secure skilled personnel before the introduction of the drones and then determine the specifications of the drones through sufficient review, and then be put into the mission after careful examination of the drones. Next, it is necessary to draw up a base rule for drone operation and draw up a manual accordingly. Finally, drone flight has the risk of a crash, and it is essential to secure dedicated personnel for drone operation, especially since drones in the public sector are specialized in large scale compared to hobby drones to achieve their purpose. This research only conducted a detailed analysis of the National Police Agency's drones for searching for missing persons, and there are limitations to the number of people interviewed. Subsequent studies will require analysis of various public institutions, and in addition to interviews, surveys will require analysis of various data and statistics.

전 세계적으로 드론에 대한 관심이 급격히 커지면서 많은 국가에서 드론을 미래 전략산업의 하나로 주목하고 있으며 드론 관련 기술에 대한 연구개발과 활용을 위해 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 기술개발 투자와 규제해소를 위한 법 정비 등 국내 여건이 미비한 상황에서 군사용 무인항공기 강국인 미국은 국가공역체계 안에서 드론 법제화 정립을 진행하고 있으며, 중국 등 몇몇 국가의 기업들은 초소형 민간 드론 시장에서 강력한 경쟁력을 보이고 있다. 드론 기술의 발전과 시장이 확대되기 위해서는 공공드론의 역할이 매우 중요하다. 기술적 법적 제약이 적지 않은 환경에서 공공분야의 드론 활용은 기술 개발과 수요증대를 동시에 자극 할 수 있는 촉매제가 될 수 있기 때문이다. 본 고에서는 미래 수요 증가의 한 축으로 기대되는 드론의 공공임무 활용부문에 대한 분석과 나아갈 방향을 제시한다.

The application of the unmanned vehicles in various fields has been attracting attention, and the development of a service utilizing unmanned vehicles has been proceeding. As the service market using the unmanned vehicles rapidly increases, the demand for the development of software for performing the mission with unmanned vehicles is increasing. In particular, as the demand for unmanned vehicle utilization services for public missions such as fire detection, mail delivery, and facility management increases, the importance of developing mission software for unmanned vehicle is increasing. To develop common mission software, architecture design should be made so that unmanned vehicle service provider can easily develop software using reusable libraries or functions through analysis commonly required by various public institutions. In this paper, we discuss the research trends of mission software for public mission unmanned vehicles. In addition, the architecture design of developing formal mission software is proposed. Finally, we propose a data transfer architecture between mission software and data platform.

최근 드론 및 ICT 융·복합기술은 산업 전반에 걸쳐 새로운 대안을 제시하고 있으며, 종전의 산업은 데이터 생성·가공·활용의 효율성, 경제성, 안전성 등의 장점을 들어 빠른 속도로 관련 ICT와 의 접목을 시도해 왔다. 이를 통해 과거의 기술과 방식에서는 찾아보기 힘들었던 다양한 형태의 결과물을 제시하는 등 데이터 기반의 4차산업혁명이 선도하는 변화가 곳곳에서 일어나고 있다. 국토교통부에서는 2018년부터 중앙·지자체·공공기관 소속직원을 대상으로 드론 조종인력 양성사업을 시작으로 2019년 국방·치안·환경·안전·측량 등 10개 분야에 드론 활용 임무특화교육을 진행해왔으며, 2020년도에는 시설물 점검, 불법행위 추적 감시, 수자원 관리 등으로 교육 분야 추가하는 등 활용범위를 확대해나가고 있다. 경기도 안전관리실(안전특별점검단)에서는 이러한 국가정책의 방향에 맞춰 새로운 기술과 융합을 시도하고자 2020년부터 '드론 등을 활용한 시설물 안전점검 고도화 연구'를 시작으로 절토사면 및 옹벽 등 시설물 안전점검과 하천 및 우수저류지의 유지관리에 ICT 융·복합 기술 및 분석용 S/W 등을 적용하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 드론 및 LiDAR 등을 활용하여 하천, 배수로, 우수저류지 등에 대해 공공관리주체가 실시할 수 있는 유지관리점검 및 현황분석 방법에 관한 것으로서 「하천법」, 「자연재해대책법」, 「시설물의 안전 및 유지관리 실시 세부지침」, 「우수유출저감시설의 종류·구조·설치 및 유지관리 기준」 등에서 정한 사항에 대해 적용하였다. 이를 통해 하천, 우수저류지 등 수공구조물의 홍수위 변동성 평가, 홍수조절부 용량검토 등 홍수방어 능력에 대한 유지관리 차원의 공공관리주체 역할을 강화하는 제도적 측면을 검토하고, 드론, LiDAR 등의 ICT 융·복합 기술 활용 확대를 통해 예산절감 및 공공안전 강화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Along with the development of the fourth industry, the public sector has increasingly paid more attention to search using drones and real-time monitoring, for various goals. The drones are used and researched to complete a variety of searching and monitoring missions, including search for missing persons, security, coastal patrol and monitoring, speed enforcement, highway and urban traffic monitoring, fire and wildfire monitoring, monitoring of illegal fishing in reservoirs and protest rally monitoring. Police stations, fire departments and military authorities, however, concentrate on the hardware part, so there are little research on efficient communication systems for the real-time monitoring of data collected from high-performance resolution and infrared thermal imagining cameras, and analysis programs suitable for special missions. In order to increase the efficiency of drones with the searching mission, this paper, therefore, attempts to propose an image analysis technique to increase the precision of search by producing image data suitable for searching missions, based on images obtained from drones and provide the foundation for improving relevant policies and establishing proper platforms, based on actual field cases and experiments.

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.
