The threat of drones is widely occurring not only in the military field but also for important national facilities such as airports and nuclear power plants. Drones are very diverse in types and control methods, so it is not easy to have a uniform defense method and system, and with the development of drone technology, the war paradigm using drones as weapons is also changing. In particular, advances in drone technology are improving the efficiency and accuracy of reconnaissance and attack missions. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to secure research cases on military operation of drones due to difficulties in obtaining information on military operations. Therefore, in this study, we try to create basic data that can effectively establish a plan for performing reconnaissance and attack missions by deriving each operational aspect through analysis of operation cases of reconnaissance and attack drones.

The fourth industrial revolution is the first topic thrown by Klaus Schwab at the Davos World Economic Forum in January 2016, meaning the next industrial revolution led by the Internet of Things (IOT), artificial intelligence (AI), robot technology and life sciences. In addition, in our lives, humans, computers and machines are connected organically, and organic relationships are evolving and developing at a furious rate in all areas of life. Since the 1953 armistice agreement, South Korea has remained in a state of confrontation with North Korea, and there have been continued fighting by the North, including naval skirmishes in the West Sea, artillery attacks on Yeonpyeong Island, the sinking of the Cheonan warship, and unmanned aerial vehicles and ankle mines. To prepare for such a local initiative, our military is constantly preparing and will have to strengthen its combat capabilities by developing and introducing advanced military equipment. After all, the military drone industry linked to the Fourth Industrial Revolution following the development of new war should continue its research on military drones in line with accurate diagnosis and the rapid development of future science and technology and IT technologies.

군사용 목적으로 개발된 드론(drone)이 오픈소스로 시장을 형성하면서 급성장하여 우체국의 택배 시스템에 적용을 한다는 발표[10]를 보면 국가 신성장 동력으로 발전 가능성에 대하여 기대하고 있는 실정이다. 언론과 산업계에서 드론이 모든 것을 대체할 것이라고 인식되면서 기술의 한계점은 흐려지고 있다. 세계 시장에서는 중국의 DJI를 선두로 급속히 성장하고 있지만 규제 목소리 또한 만만치 않은 실정이다. 플랫폼 기업인 구글이나 페이스북 아마존 등에서는 드론을 적용[3]하기 시작하였지만 넘어야 할 산은 많은 것이 현실이다. 이러한 드론 기술의 수준과 해결 과제를 살펴보고 드론이란 무엇이며 국내외 동향을 살펴본다.

A drone which was developed first for military purpose has been expanded to various civil areas, with its technological development. Of the drones developed for such diverse purposes, a drone for photography has a camera installed and is actively applied to a variety of image contents making, beyond filming and broadcasting. A drone for photography makes it possible to shoot present and dynamic images which were hard to be photographed with conventional photography technology. This study made a view finder which helps a drone operator to control a drone and directly view an object to shoot with the drone camera. The view finder for drones is a type of glasses. It was developed in the way of printing out the data modelled with 3D MAX in a 3D printer and installing a ultra-small LCD monitor. The view finder for drones makes it possible to fly a drone safely and achieve accurate framing of an object to shoot.

Due to recent small unmanned aircraft threats by North Korea and unsuccessful reponses, severe concerns about future national security have been being increasingly surged. Especially it is notable and unaccpetable to see that North Korea's small drones flying over capical areas over 7 hours were not efficiently detected and identified even though South Korea already recognized the threats since early 2010s. Meanwhile a US military troop operating THAAD system on Seung-Joo, South Korea successfully shot down unidentified small drone on Jan 2023. The threats caused by small unmanned aircraft is worrisome not only to South Korea, but also to international nations. This paper surveyed US DoD Strategy for countering small aircraft systems and suggest how to improve our current anti-dron systems so that small unmanned aircraft threats will be dynamically diminished or neutralized as fast as we can.

The importance of combat drones has been highlighted through the recent outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. The combat drones play a significant role as a a game changer that alters the conventional wisdom of traditional warfare. Many pundits expect the role of combat swarm drones would be more crucial in the future warfare. In this regard, this paper aims to analyze the development of artificial intelligence-enabled combat swarm drones. To transform the human-operated swarm drones into fully autonomous weaponry system our suggestions are as follows. Developments of (1) AI algorithms for optimized swarm drone operations, (2) decentralized command and control system, (3) inter-drones' mission analysis and allocation technology, (4) enhanced drone communication security and (5) set up of ethical guideline for the autonomous system. Specifically, we suggest the development of AI algorithms for drone collision avoidance and moving target attacks. Also, in order to adjust rapidly changing military environment, decentralized command and control system and mission analysis allocation technology are necessary. Lastly, cutting-edging secure communication technology and concrete ethical guidelines are essential for future AI-enabled combat swarm drones.

The forces to protect people's life and property against the enemy attack is an organization which is regulated by the constitutional law. In terms of nature, its security is a significant factor to determine success or failure for the war. However, recently the 4th industrial revolution represents the rapid change in the advancement of civilization and technology. It can influence on the environment of military security which can make various changes. Unless taking proper action againsty these changes, it can inflict a vital harm for the organization of forces and its internal security. In this aspect, this study discuss new threats of the military security, above all, the most technical improvements and harms for the drones in terms of security. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of drones which can influence on the ragions of military command and control, information operations, maneuvers, firepower, operation sustainment supports are analyzed. Moreover, this study set the purpose of developmental security measure for security threats in the aspects of military security.

A drone invented for the military has been increased the range of application with the development of relevant technology, and it influences to include the private area. Currently, the use of drone has been increasing in many areas, such as agriculture, unmanned parcel service, production of image contents, and architecture. In 2021, South of Korea, a drone certificate system for drone flight is introduced and on operation. In case of drone flight with the maximum takeoff weight as 2kg or up, the flight experience and practical examination are required, whereas in case of drone lighter than 2kg, the online education qualification is enough to operate it without the flight experience and practical examination. Recently, the drone related accidents have been increasing with the rapidly supply of camera drones with the maximum takeoff weight as less than 2kg. This paper introduces the characteristics of the camera drone to meet burgeoning demand, and discusses an education plan for the camera drone.
