Early-detection and monitoring of toxic chemical gas cloud with chemical detector is essential for reducing the number of casualties. Conventional method for chemical detection and reconnaissance has the limitation in approaching to chemically contaminated site and prompt understanding for the situation. Stand-off detector can detect and identify the chemical gas at a long distance but it cannot know exact distance and position. Chemical detection UAV is an emerging platform for its high mobility and operation safety. In this study, we have conducted chemical gas cloud detection with the stand-off chemical detector and the chemical detection UAV. DMMP vapor was generated in the area where the cloud can be detected through the field of view(FOV) of stand-off chemical detector. Monitoring the vapor cloud with standoff detector, the chemical detection UAV moved back and forth at the area DMMP vapor being generated to detect the chemical contamination. The hybrid detection system with standoff cloud detection and point detection by chemical sensors with UAV seems to be very efficient as a new concept of chemical detection.

To prepare for the complicated international relationship regarding Korean Peninsula after reunification, this thesis started off with the awareness that Unified Korea should build its international posture and national security at an early stage by determining its appropriate military strength for independent defense and military strategies that Unified Korea should aim. The main theme of this thesis is 'The research on appropriate military strength of the Unified Korean military'. To derive appropriate military strength of Unified Korea, this research focuses on conflict scenario and relative balance strategy based on potential threats posed by neighboring countries, and this is the part that differentiates this research from other researches. First of all, the main objective of the research is to decide appropriate military strength for Unified Korea to secure defense sufficiency. For this, this research will decide efficient military strategy that Unified Korea should aim. Than by presuming the most possible military conflict scenario, this research will judge the most appropriate military strength for Unified Korea to overcome the dispute. Second, after deciding appropriate military strength, this research will suggest how to operate presumed military strength in each armed force. The result of this thesis is as in the following. First, Unified Korea should aim 'relative balance strategy'. 'Relative balance strategy' is a military strategy which Unified Korea can independently secure defense sufficiency by maintaining relative balance when conflicts occur between neighboring countries. This strategy deters conflicts in advance by relative balance of power in certain time and place. Even if conflict occurs inevitably, this strategy secures initiative. Second, when analyzing neighboring countries interest and strategic environment after unification, the possibility of all-out war will be low in the Korean Peninsula because no other nation wants the Korean Peninsula to be subordinated to one single country. Therefore appropriate military strength of the Unified Korean military would be enough when Unified Korea can achieve relative balance in regional war or limited war. Third, Northeast Asia is a region where economic power and military strength is concentrated. Despite increasing mutual cooperation in the region, conflicts and competition to expand each countries influence is inherent. Japan is constantly enhancing their military strength as they aim for normal statehood. China is modernizing their military strength as they aspire to become global central nation. Russia is also enhancing their military strength in order to hold on to their past glory of Soviet Union as a world power. As a result, both in quality and quantity, the gap between military strength of Unified Korea and each neighboring countries is enlarged at an alarming rate. Especially in the field of air-sea power, arms race is occurring between each nation. Therefore Unified Korea should be equipped with appropriate military strength in order to achieve relative balance with each threats posed by neighboring countries. Fourth, the most possible conflicts between Unified Korea and neighboring countries could be summarized into four, which are Dokdo territorial dispute with Japan, Leodo jurisdictional dispute with China, territorial dispute concerning northern part of the Korea Peninsula with China and disputes regarding marine resources and sea routes with Russia. Based on those conflict scenarios, appropriate military strength for Unified Korea is as in the following. When conflict occurs with Japan regarding Dokdo, Japan is expected to put JMSDF Escort Flotilla 3, one out of four of its Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Escort Fleet, which is based in Maizuru and JMSDF Maizuru District. To counterbalance this military strength, Unified Korea needs one task fleet, comprised with three task flotilla. In case of jurisdictional conflict with China concerning Leodo, China is expected to dispatch its North Sea fleet, one out of three of its naval fleet, which is in charge of the Yellow Sea. To response to this military action, Unified Korea needs one task fleet, comprised with three task flotilla. In case of territorial dispute concerning northern part of the Korean Peninsula with China, it is estimated that out of seven Military Region troops, China will dispatch two Military Region troops, including three Army Groups from Shenyang Military Region, where it faces boarder with the Korean Peninsula. To handle with this military strength, Unified Korea needs six corps size ground force strength, including three corps of ground forces, two operational reserve corps(maneuver corps), and one strategic reserve corps(maneuver corps). When conflict occurs with Russia regarding marine resources and sea routes, Russia is expected to send a warfare group of a size that includes two destroyers, which is part of the Pacific Fleet. In order to balance this strength, Unified Korea naval power requires one warfare group including two destroyers. Fifth, management direction for the Unified Korean military is as in the following. Regarding the ground force management, it would be most efficient to deploy troops in the border area with china for regional and counter-amphibious defense. For the defense except the border line with china, the most efficient form of force management would be maintaining strategic reserve corps. The naval force should achieve relative balance with neighboring countries when there is maritime dispute and build 'task fleet' which can independently handle long-range maritime mission. Of the three 'task fleet', one task fleet should be deployed at Jeju base to prepare for Dokdo territorial dispute and Leodo jurisdictional dispute. Also in case of regional conflict with china, one task fleet should be positioned at Yellow Sea and for regional conflict with Japan and Russia, one task fleet should be deployed at East Sea. Realistically, Unified Korea cannot possess an air force equal to neither Japan nor China in quantity. Therefore, although Unified Korea's air force might be inferior in quantity, they should possess the systematic level which Japan or China has. For this Unified Korea should build air base in island areas like Jeju Island or Ullenong Island to increase combat radius. Also to block off infiltration of enemy attack plane, air force needs to build and manage air bases near coastal areas. For landing operation forces, Marine Corps should be managed in the size of two divisions. For island defense force, which is in charge of Jeju Island, Ulleung Island, Dokdo Island and five northwestern boarder island defenses, it should be in the size of one brigade. Also for standing international peace keeping operation, it requires one brigade. Therefore Marine Corps should be organized into three divisions. The result of the research yields a few policy implications when building appropriate military strength for Unified Korea. First, Unified Korea requires lower number of ground troops compared to that of current ROK(Republic of Korea) force. Second, air-sea forces should be drastically reinforced. Third, appropriate military strength of the Unified Korean military should be based on current ROK military system. Forth, building appropriate military strength for Unified Korea should start from today, not after reunification. Because of this, South Korea should build a military power that can simultaneously prepare for current North Korea's provocations and future threats from neighboring countries after reunification. The core of this research is to decide appropriate military strength for Unified Korea to realize relative balance that will ensure defense sufficiency from neighboring countries threats. In other words, this research should precisely be aware of threats posed by neighboring countries and decide minimum level of military strength that could realize relative balance in conflict situation. Moreover this research will show the path for building appropriate military strength in each armed force.

The National Defense Reformation bill of "National Defense Reformation 2020" which have been constantly disputed and reformed by the government went through various levels of complementary measures after the North Korean sinking on the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Vessel "Cheonan". The final outcome of this reform is also known as the 307 Plan and this was announced on the 8th March. The reformed National Defense Reformation is to reduce the number of units and military personnel under the military structure reformation. However, in order for us to undertake successful National Defense Reformation, the use of privatized civilian resources are essential. Therefore according to this theory, the ROK Ministry of National Defense (MND) have selected the usage of privatized resources as one of the main core agenda for the National Defense Reformation management procedures, and under this agenda the MND plans to further expand the usage of private Especially the MND plans to minimize the personnel resources applied in non-combat areas and in turn use these supplemented personnel with optimization. In order to do this, the MND have initiated necessary appropriate analysis over the whole national defense section by understanding various projects and acquisition requests required by each militaries and civilian research institutions. However for efficient management of privatized civilian resources, first of all, those possible efficient private resources which can achieve optimization will need to be identified, and secondly continuous systematic reinforcements will need to be made in private resource usage legislations. Furthermore, we would need to consider the possibility of labor disputes because of privatization expansion. Therefore, full legal and systematic complementary measures are required in all possible issue arising areas which can affect the combat readiness posture. There is another problem of huge increase in operational expenses as reduction of standby forces are only reducing the number of soldiers and filling these numbers with more cost expensive commissioned officers. However, to overcome this problem, we would need to reduce the number of positions available for active officers and fill these positions with military reserve personnel who previously had working experiences with the related positions (thereby guaranteeing active officers re-employment after completing active service). This would in tum maintain the standards of combat readiness posture and reduce necessary financial budgets which may newly arise. The area of maintenance, supply, transportation, training & education duties which are highly efficient when using privatized resources, will need to be transformed from military management based to civilian management based system. For maintenance, this can be processed by integrating National Maintenance Support System. In order for us to undertake this procedure, we would need to develop maintenance units which are possible to be privatized and this will in turn reduce the military personnel executing job duties, improve service quality and prevent duplicate investments etc. For supply area, we will need to establish Integrated Military Logistics Center in-connection with national and civilian logistics system. This will in turn reduce the logistics time frame as well as required personnel and equipments. In terms of transportation, we will need to further expand the renting and leasing system. This will need to be executed by integrating the National Defense Transportation Information System which will in turn reduce the required personnel and financial budgets. Finally for training and education, retired military personnel can be employed as training instructors and at the military academy, further expansion in the number of civilian professors can be employed in-connection with National Defense Reformation. In other words, more active privatized civilian resources will need to be managed and used for National Defense Reformation.

Even after S. Korea took 5.24 Measure(24 May 2014), N. Korea has not stopped raising provocations such as the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island, electronic and cyber attacks. To make matters worse, the communist country lunched long-range missiles(twice) and conducted 3rd nuclear test, escalating tensions which could possibly lead to an all-out war. Korean Government failed to respond properly. However, escalation into an all-out war was deterred by the CFC immediately carrying out its peacetime duty(CODA). The US made a rapid dispatch of its augmentation forces(Aircraft carrier, nuclear-powered submarine, strategic bomber, F-22) to the Korean Peninsula. In recognition of the importance of the Combined Forces Command, since May 2013 the Park Geun-Hye Administration has been pushing ahead with re-postponement of Wartime Operational Control Transfer(which initially meant the disassembling of the CFC as of 1 December 2015) More recently, there has been a series of unusual indicators from the North. Judging from its inventory of 20 nuclear weapons, 1,000 ballistic missiles and biochemical weapons, it is safe to say that N. Korea has gained at least war deterrence against S. Korea. Normally a nation with nuclear weapons shrink its size of conventional forces, but the North is pursuing the opposite, rather increasing them. In addition, there was a change of war plan by N. Korea in 2010, changing 'Conquering the Korean Peninsula' to 'Negotiation after the seizure of the Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area(GSMA)' and establishing detailed plans for wartime projects. The change reflects the chain reaction in which requests from pro-north groups within the South will lead to the proclamation of war. Kim, Jeong-Un, leader of N. Korean regime, sent threatening messages using words such as 'exercising a nuclear preemptive strike right' and 'burning of Seoul'. Nam, Jae-June, Director of National Intelligence Service, stated that Kim, Jung-Un is throwing big talks, saying communization of the entire Korean Peninsula will come within the time frame of 3 years. Kim, Gwan-Jin, Defense Minister, shared an alarming message that there is a high possibility that the North will raise local provocations or a full-fledged war whenever while putting much emphasis on defense posture. As for the response concept of the Korean Government, it has been decided that 'ROK·US Combined Local Provocation Counter-Measure' will be adopted to act against local provocations from the North. Major provocation types include ▲ violation of the Northern Limit Line(NLL) with mobilization of military ships ▲ artillery provocations on Northwestern Islands ▲ low altitude airborne intrusion ▲ rear infiltration of SOF ▲ local conflicts within the Military Demarcation Line(MDL) ▲ attacking friendly ships by submarines. Counter-measures currently established by the US involves the support from USFK and USFJ. In order to keep the sworn promise, the US is reinforcing both USFK and USFJ. An all-out war situation will be met by 'CFC OPLAN5027' and 'Tailored Expansion Deterrence Forces' with the CFC playing a central role. The US augmentation forces stands at 690,000 troops, some 160 ships, 2,000 aircraft and this comprise 50% of US total forces, which is estimated to be ninefold of Korean forces. The CFC needs to be in center in handling both local provocations and an all-out war situation. However, the combat power of S. Korean conventional forces is approximately around 80% of that of N. Korea, which has been confirmed from comments made by Kim, Gwan-Jin, Defense Minister, during an interpellation session at the National Assembly. This means that S. Korean forces are not much growing. In particular, asymmetric capabilities of the North is posing a serious threat to the South including WMD, cyber warfare forces, SOF, forces targeting 5 Northwestern Islands, sub-surface and amphibious assault forces. The presence of such threats urgently requires immediate complementary efforts. For complementary efforts, the Korean Government should consider ① reinforcement of Korean forces; putting a stoppage to shrinking military, acquisition of adequate defense budget, building a missile defense and military leadership structure validity review, ② implementation of military tasks against the North; disciplinary measures on the sinking of ROKS Cheon-an/shelling of Yeonpyeong Islands, arrangement of inter-Korean military agreements, drawing lessons from studies on the correlation between aid for N. Korea, execution of inter-Korean Summit and provocations from the North, and ③ bolstering the ROK·US alliance; disregarding wartime operational control transfer plan(disassembling of CFC) and creation of a combined division.

4차 산업혁명 시대의 미래 전장은 초연결, 고속기동화된 무기체계로 다영역작전을 수행할 것이다. 이러한 미래전 양상의 변화에 대비하기 위해 우리군은 다양한 유·무인 무기체계를 개발하고 이들의 기동간 통신 지원이 가능한 다계층 전술네트워크 구성을 위하여 노력하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 전술네트워크는 단일 계층에서 단일빔 안테나를 활용한 1:1 고속링크 또는 무지향성 안테나를 활용한 1:N 저속링크를 운용하고 있어 기동간 통신 지원이 제한된다. 즉 미래전 대비를 위한 다계층 전술네트워크를 효율적으로 구성하기 위해서 다중빔 안테나의 운용이 필요하다. 특히 공중계층의 공중중계 무인기는 비행체 특징에 따라 다중빔 안테나의 운용 방법이 달라진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다계층 전술네트워크의 효율적인 운용을 위하여 공중계층에 필요한 다중빔 안테나 운용 시나리오와 고려 요소, 회전익과 고정익 비행체의 특징을 살펴보고 이를 토대로 다중빔 안테나의 공중중계 무인기 설치 위치 및 운용 방안을 회전익과 고정익 비행체로 구분하여 제시한다.

화학·생물(화생) 위험을 초기 단계에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서는 화생 대응 계획을 체계적으로 발전시켜야 하며, 모델링 및 시뮬레이션은 이를 위한 과학적 수단으로 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 오염 확산 모델링 분야는 많은 발전을 이루고 있으나, 화생 대응 계획을 모의하고 적절성을 분석하는 시뮬레이션 분야는 여전히 초기 단계에 머무르고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 화생 오염 탐지, 보호, 제독 등 대응 계획을 과학적으로 모의하기 위한 모델을 제안한다. 먼저 기상 및 지형 조건을 고려하여 예측된 오염 확산 결과를 교전 모델에 반영하는 방법을 제시한다. 이어서 공개된 사상자 예측 기법을 기반으로 전투 모의 개체의 화생 피해를 모의하는 화생 전투 피해 모의 기법을 설계한다. 그리고 화생 위험 탐지·정찰, 제독, 보호 등 화생 위험 대응 계획을 체계적으로 모의하는 과업을 모델링한다. 끝으로 화생 감시소 운용에 의한 오염 탐지의 신속성을 분석하는 한편, 화생 제독소 운용 시 오염 부대 규모와 제독 부대 규모에 따른 제독 소요 시간을 분석함으로써 화생 전투 모의 실험의 가능성을 확인한다. 제안된 모델을 이용하면 향후 군의 화생 방호 체계 및 운용개념에 대한 효과 분석은 물론 재난 방재 및 모의 훈련 분야에서도 일부 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs) is a vibrant research area nowadays. This type of network ranges from various military and civilian applications. FANET is formed by micro and macro UAVs. Among many other problems, there are two main issues in FANET. Limited energy and high mobility of FANET nodes effect the flight time and routing directly. Clustering is a remedy to handle these types of problems. In this paper, an efficient clustering technique is proposed to handle routing and energy problems. Transmission range of FANET nodes is dynamically tuned accordingly as per their operational requirement. By optimizing the transmission range packet loss ratio (PLR) is minimized and link quality is improved which leads towards reduced energy consumption. To elect optimal cluster heads (CHs) based on their fitness we use k-means. Selection of optimal CHs reduce the routing overhead and improves energy consumption. Our proposed scheme outclasses the existing state-of-the-art techniques, ACO based CACONET and PSO based CLPSO, in terms of energy consumption and cluster building time.

In case of South Korea, the airspace which airlines can operate is extremely limited due to the military operational area located within the Incheon flight information region. As a result, safety problems such as mid-air collision between aircraft or Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System Resolution Advisory (TCAS RA) may occur with higher probability than in wider airspace. In order to prevent such safety problems, an mid-air collision risk detection model based on Detect-And-Avoid (DAA) well clear metrics is investigated. The model calculates the risk of mid-air collision between aircraft using aircraft trajectory data. In this paper, the practical use of DAA well clear metrics based model has been validated. Aviation safety data such as aviation safety mandatory report and Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast is used to measure the performance of the model. The attributes of individual aircraft track data is analyzed to correct the threshold of each parameter of the model.

과학기술의 발전, 특히, 4차 산업의 스마트개념과 국방 정책적인 요인으로 군의 무기체계는 첨단화·과학화되고 운용병력은 획기적으로 감소되고 있다. 미래전의 양상은 현재보다 4배 이상으로 확장된 작전지역에서 첨단화·과학화된 무기체계로 축소된 병력으로 부대를 운용하는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 상황적 고려요소를 반영하여 전장환경 변화와 발전된 무기체계를 기반으로 한 미래 전투수행방법의 개선을 위한 노력이 절대적으로 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 변화하는 전쟁양상에서 보다 효율적인 미래 보병부대 전투수행방법을 모색하기 위해 현재 육군에서 활용하고 있는 분석용 모델인 비전21 워게임 모델을 활용한 전투실험 방법론을 적용하였으며, 정보, 화력, 장애물 측면에서 실험방법에 대한 시나리오를 구성하였다. 이를 바탕으로 최종적으로 미래 전투수행 방법 및 부대구조를 검증하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 따라서 첫째, 변화되는 지상 작전 환경 및 무기체계 변화를 반영한 시나리오 구성 및 전투실험방법을 설계 하였으며, 둘째, 미래 보병 부대의 효율적인 전투수행 방법 및 부대 구조를 검증하기 위한 전투효과도 기반의 분석 방법을 적용하여, 미래전의 군 구조 및 전투수행 방법에 대해 효율적인 대안을 제시하고자 한다.

지휘통제체계는 지휘, 통제, 통신, 컴퓨터, 정보의 5대 요소를 자동화하여 전장을 효율적으로 관리하는 통합 전장 정보체계로 적의 위치, 상황 및 작전 결과를 수집하고 분석하여 모든 제대가 실시간으로 동일한 상황을 파악하며 지휘 결심과 임무 지시를 최적화하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 현행 지휘통제체계는 각 군별 전장상황 위주 단일 영역에서의 전장가시화를 시켜주는 구조만으로는 신규 무기체계 도입 때 마다 한계가 발생한다. 지상, 해상, 공중 영역뿐만 아니라 사이버 및 우주 영역까지 확대되는 미래 전장에서 다양한 무기체계들의 유기적인 데이터들이 모여 사용자가 원하는 전장상황을 신속하게 가시화한다면 보다 향상된 지휘통제결심이 가능할 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 미래 지휘통제체계의 적용가능한 가시화 기술을 지도 영역, 상황도 영역, 디스플레이 영역으로 나눠 적용방안을 연구하였다. 이러한 미래 지휘통제체계의 기술 구현은 5G 네트워크와 같은 다양한 데이터 및 통신 수단을 기반으로 하여, 고품질의 다양한 정보를 활용하여 현실적이고 효율적인 전장 상황 인식을 가능하게 하는 초연결 전장가시화가 가능할 것으로 기대한다.
