This study presents the direction of the Republic of Korea Army in the future by examining the Manned and Unmanned Teaming(MUMT) Systems of the Military Advanced Countries of the United States, Israel, and France. In this study, the current status of the U.S. Ground Forces' 'Squad-X' program, the Israeli Ground Forces' Digital Army Program (DAP), and the French Army's Scorpion program were examined. Next, it was followed by a discussion of The Combat concept, a way of fighting in the future battlefield, with the development trend of a complex Combat system with various weapon systems supporting it. Finally, based on this, the direction of the development of MUMT system, which the Republic of Korea Army should engage in in the future, was presented as a conclusion. Since such MUMT system of advanced military forces are being developed in a secret manner, continuous longitudinal research needs be conducted.

In this study, assuming that the maritime manned-unmanned systems, which will be used as the main force of the ROK Navy in the future, conducts its sea line of communication(SLOC) protection operations, the combat effectiveness against major threats was measured, and through this, the development direction of the manned-unmanned systems was suggested. Multi-criteria decision-making techniques such as Delphi and AHP were used to measure combat effectiveness, and the AHP survey was conducted on 40 naval officers, including 25 senior officers who are well-understood in the combat effectiveness of the weapons system and MUM-T. As an evaluation index for measuring combat effectiveness, the OODA loop was set as the main attribute, followed by Observe(0.358), Orient(0.315), Act(0.217), and Decide(0.110). The combat effectiveness of each major threat in SLOC, the lowest alternative, was measured to be 1.68 times higher than the response to maritime conflicts in neighboring countries and 3.61 times higher than the response to transnational threats. These results are expected to support rational decision-making in determining the level of technology required for acquisition of marine manned-unmanned systems and establishing operational plans for naval forces.

This research illustrates how the simulation environment for operating the simultaneous man/unmanned aerial vehicle teaming is constructed. X-Plane program, HILS for the ducted fan aircraft (unmanned) and CTLS (manned aircraft) with communication devices are interfaced to simulate the basic co-operational flight. The X-plane and HILS can allow operators to experience the maned and unmanned aircraft operation in the airspace on the ground in turn they can perform various simulated missions in advance before the actual flight. For the test purpose, the data link between man/unmanned aircraft and ground control station is examined using C Band and UHF radio channels by the manned aircraft.

In Korea, the birth rate is rapidly decreasing in the 21st century. Accordingly, if the current military service and personnel system are maintained, it will be difficult to maintain even the number of the Army reduced to 365,000. Nevertheless, the Army has a mission to protect the country from external aggression as the last bastion of national defense. To fulfill this mission, there are ways to improve the military service and personnel system, but there are ways to maximize individual combat power to create one warrior that is worth a hundred and overcome the insufficient number of troops through superior mobility to the enemy. This study studied how to solve the shortage of troops as well as strengthen combat power through a combined combat system that can maximize individual combat power and mobility by applying the latter concept, and further analyzed the future battle environment and suggested the developmental direction of the army's combined combat system.

Analysis of combat effectiveness is required to consider the concept of tactical cooperative engagement between manned-unmanned weapon systems, in order to predict the required operational capabilities of future weapon systems that meets the concept of 'effect-based synchronized operations.' However, analytical methods such as mathematical and statistical models make it difficult to analyze the effects of complex systems under nonlinear warfare. In this paper, we propose a combat simulation model that can simulate the concept of cooperative engagement between manned-unmanned combat entities based on wireless communications. First, we model unmanned combat entities, e.g., unmanned ground vehicles and drones, and manned combat entities, e.g., combatants and artillery, considering the capabilities required by the future ground system. We also simulate tactical behavior in which all entities perform their mission while sharing battlefield situation information through wireless communications. Finally we explore the feasibility of the proposed model by analyzing combat effectiveness such as target acquisition rate, remote control success rate, reconnaissance lead time, survival rate, and enemy's loss rate under a small-unit armor reconnaissance scenario. The proposed model is expected to be used in war-game combat experiments as well as analysis of the effects of manned-unmanned ground weapons.

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.

drones are used in a variety of fields, including business, leisure, lifesaving, and war. Various research using drones is being conducted in the military. In particular, the use of drones in 『Manned-Unmanned Complex combat performance plan』, powered by various unmanned vehicles deployed in the Army TIGER system, is expected to be a major factor realizing the Army's future combat performance that minimizes damage to ally combat troops while causing maximum damage to the enemy. As the deployment of various systems progresses, combat performance methods utilizing each system are evolving, but there is a lack of research to identify and resolve limitations in the perspective of unmanned vehicle operators. Based on the Ukrainian military's FPV drone combat case, we would like to make suggestions from the operator's perspective on overcoming perspective limitations through the introduction of FPV and the designation of military drone frequency.

This paper presents a methodology for evaluating suitability of a manned-unmanned aerial vehicle team for a complicated mission. The study identified vehicle performance, equipment performance and level of autonomy as the key factors that affect the mission effectiveness. A manned and an unmanned aircraft were compared, and their performance was quantized in these respects. SEAD was chosen as a representative manned-unmanned team mission. The SEAD mission was broken down to a sequence of tasks. Mission experts evaluated the importance of each mark item for the mission legs. Combining the results showed proper type of aircraft for each leg depending on the complexity, safety, and importance of the task. Finally, the whole mission plan was laid out as a time-based sequence which alleviate pilot workload significantly.
