인공지능의 기술적 진보는 통신·물류·보안·의료 등 다양한 산업분야에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 경제성·효율화·상용기술과의 연계방안과 관련된 연구개발이 중점적으로 이루어지고 있다. 국방 분야에서도 다차원 동시 통합전, 유·무인 복합전, 국지성 비대칭전 등 전쟁수행 개념이 발전함에 따라 전장인식·지휘통제·전력운용·의사결정 지원 등의 분야에 인공지능 역량을 적용하기 위한 개념설계와 실적용을 위한 과제 기획을 지속 추진 중이다. 전략적 관점에서 미래 전장 환경 및 전쟁 수행 방식의 변화를 예측하고, 선도적 대응을 위해 군사력 발전 방향을 설계·기획하는 것은 포괄적 미래 위협에 대비하기 위한 기본요소일 뿐만 아니라, 한정된 예산/시간 대비 최적의 효율을 도출할 수 있다는 점에서 필수불가결한 요소이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 국방 분야의 활용 가능성이 높은 잠재력 있는 미래기술을 발굴하고 연구개발에 적용하기 위한 기술주도형 기획의 일환으로 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 국방 미래기술 조사를 위해 수행되었던 연구 자료를 바탕으로 기존 국방 연구과제들과의 중복성, 기술의 실현가능성 등을 고려하여 후속 연구가 필요한 미래 신기술을 예측하였다. 또한 선정된 인공지능 분야 국방 미래 신기술과 평가지표 간 유의미성을 확인하기 위해 실증연구를 수행하였다.

On February 12, 2019, the U.S. Department of Defense newly established and announced the "Defense AI Strategy" to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for military purposes. As China and Russia invested heavily in AI for military purposes, the U.S. was concerned that it could eventually lose its advantage in AI technology to China and Russia. In response, China and Russia, which are hostile countries, and especially China, are speeding up the development of new military theories related to the overall construction and operation of the Chinese military based on AI. With the rapid development of AI technology, major advanced countries such as the U.S. and China are actively researching the application of AI technology, but most existing studies do not address the special topic of defense. Fortunately, the "Future Defense 2030 Technology Strategy" classified AI technology fields from a defense perspective and analyzed advanced overseas cases to present a roadmap in detail, but it has limitations in comparing private technology-oriented benchmarking and AI technology's maturity level. Therefore, this study tried to overcome the limitations of the "Future Defense 2030 Technology Strategy" by comparing and analyzing Chinese and U.S. military research cases and evaluating the maturity level of military use of AI technology, not AI technology itself.

To keep pace with other powerful nations in this era of the era of digitalization and to emerge stronger in the world, the defense forces of South Korea aim to innovate and prepare themselves for digital battlefields of possible wars in the future. The resources in the defense sector, which is the core of defense intelligence, is based on an intelligent mission collaboration tactical network system via cyber, command, control, communication, and computer (C4), and military and non-human weapons. Defense intelligence depends on the degree of the convergence of advanced Information and communication technologies (ICTs). Considering this aspect of defense intelligence, We plan to determine the application status of defense blockchain technology and examine the feasibility of applying blockchain technology and the core of applied technology. Generally, a key feature of blockchain technology is its data integrity in untrusted environments. There are various types of core technologies for the blockchain depending on the target areas of application in the defense sector, and it is also essential to derive new application strategies for core technologies that are applied in combination with other ICT technologies. We plan to demonstrate new defense ICT converged technologies (DNAB2: Data, Network, AI, BigData, Blockchain) and DNAB2-As-Services in the defense strategy.

The future battlefield operation concept does not focus on advanced and complete weapon systems, but requires a new battlefield operation concept that can effectively demonstrate offensive power by combining a large number of low-cost, miniaturized weapons. Recently, research on the autonomous application of major technologies that make up the mission control system is actively underway. However, since the mission control system is still dependent on the operator's operating ability when operating multiple robots, there are limitations to simply applying the automation technology of the existing mission control system. Therefore, we understand how changes in operator capabilities affect multi-robot operation and propose an adaptive mission control architecture design method that supports multi-robot integrated operation by adjusting the level of autonomy of the mission control system according to changes in operator capability.

The COVID-19 pandemic is not over despite the emergency use authorization as can see recent COVID-19 daily confirmed cases. The viruses are not only difficult to diagnose and treat due to random mutations, but also pose threat human being because they have the potential to be exploited as biochemical weapons by genetic manipulation. Therefore, it is inevitable to the rapid antibody-based therapeutic platform to quickly respond to future pandemics by new/re-emerging viruses. Although numerous researches have been conducted for the fast development of antibody-based therapeutics, it is sometimes hard to respond rapidly to new viruses because of complicated expression or purification processes for antibody production. In this study, a novel rapid antibody-based therapeutic platform using single B cell sorting method and mRNA-antibody. High immunogenicity was caused to produce antibodies in vivo through mRNA-antigen inoculation. Subsequently, antigen-specific antibody candidates were selected and obtained using isolation of B cells containing antibody at the single cell level. Using the antibody-based therapeutic platform system in this study, it was confirmed that novel antigen-specific antibodies could be obtained in about 40 days, and suggested that the possibility of rapid response to new variant viruses.

In this study, a fuel cell system for future defense unmanned vehicles was designed and validated. A Co/Al₂O₃-Ni foam catalyst for NaBH₄ hydrolysis was characterized using several analytical methods. A NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system with the Co/Al₂O₃-Ni foam catalyst continuously generated hydrogen at elevated reaction temperatures. The fuel cell system with the NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system was designed and tested. The performance of the fuel cell system was comparable to that of the fuel cell system using pure hydrogen. Therefore, the fuel cell system with the NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system is a suitable power source for future defense unmanned vehicles owing to its easy refueling and simple system.
