North Korea's rapidly advancing drone development and operational capabilities have become a significant threat to South Korea's security. The drone incursions by North Korea in 2014, 2017, and 2022 demonstrate the technological advancement and provocative potential of North Korean drones. This study aims to closely analyze the military threats posed by North Korean drones and seek effective countermeasures. The research examines the development level of North Korean drone technology, its military applications, the characteristics and patterns of recent drone incursions, the adequacy and limitations of South Korea's current response systems, and future countermeasures. For this purpose, domestic and international research literature and media reports were reviewed, and specific North Korean drone incursion cases were analyzed. The results indicate that North Korea's small drones possess technological features such as small size, low altitude, low-speed flight, long-duration flight, and reconnaissance equipment. These drones pose threats that can be utilized for reconnaissance, surveillance, surprise attacks, and terrorism. Additionally, South Korea's current response systems reveal limitations such as inadequate detection and identification capabilities, low interception success rates, lack of an integrated response system, and insufficient specialized personnel and equipment. Therefore, this study suggests various technical, policy, and international cooperative countermeasures, including the development of drone detection and identification technologies, the utilization of diverse drone neutralization technologies, the establishment of legal and institutional foundations, the construction of a cooperative framework among relevant agencies, and the strengthening of international cooperation. The study particularly emphasizes the importance of raising awareness of the North Korean drone threat across South Korean society and unifying national efforts to respond to these threats.

Recently, the increasing interest in drones has resulted in development of new related technologies. Attention has been focused toward research on swarm flight which controls drones simultaneously without collision. Thus, complicated missions can be completed rapidly through collaboration between drones. Due to low position accuracy, GPS is not appropriate for the outdoor mission involving accurate flight. In addition, the inaccurate position estimation of GPS gives rise to the serious problem of collision, since many drones are controlled in a narrow space. In this study, we increased the accuracy of position estimation through various sensors with Real-Time Kinematic-GPS (RTK-GPS). The mode switching algorithm was proposed to minimize the problem of sensor error. In addition, we introduced the outdoor swarm flight system based on the proposed position estimation.

One of the major advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the use of Internet of Drones (IoD), which combines the Internet of Things (IoT) and drone technology. IoD technology is especially important for efficiently and economically operating C4ISR operations in actual battlefields supporting various combat situations. The purpose of this study is to solve the problems of limited battery capacity of drones and lack of budgeting criteria for military drone transcription, introduction, and operation. If the mission area is defined and corresponding multi-drone hovering check points and mission completion time limits are set, then an energy and time co-optimized scheduling and operation control scheme is needed. Because such a scheme does not exist, in this paper, a Drone Force Deployment Optimization (DFDO) scheme is proposed to help schedule multi-drone operation scheduling and networked based remote multi-drone control.

With the various usage of civil drones, such as hobby, filmmaking and surveillance, the need for technology that safely reconstructs software for target application domains has been increasingly rising. In order to support a reliable software integration of avionic systems, the ARINC 653 standard has been proposed and adapted mainly on manned aircrafts. Therefore, applying ARINC 653 on civil drones could be desirable. Though, various researches on implementing ARINC 653 has been conducted, there are still additional requirements to apply ARINC 653 to civil drones that use various platforms and have a wide range of use. In this paper, taking account of these requirements, we implement a portable and extensible ARINC 653 and analyze its performance. We offer the portability with the OS abstraction layer that reduces dependency on a specific operating system, and provide the design that can extend internal functions, such as partition scheduler and process scheduler.

Recently, there are many real life applications that uses drones. There are various applications such as the aerial shot with the drones for the broadcasting service or drone racing competition and so on. Specifically, they patrol for the traffic enforcement on a highway. The police department use the 'Spot Mobility' method which float the drones for 30 minute period. However, this method is inefficient for the wide area with small numbers of enforcement. Therefore, a wireless network system consists of drones to patrol on the highway systematically is required. In this paper, the most efficient routing protocol will be selected for the MANET drone network by applying various routing protocols. To accomplish this, the drone patrol network system with routing protocols are designed and simulated in OPNET simulator.

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution era, the use of drone has been progressing rapidly in various fields. Now the drones will be used extensively in the area of investigation. Until now the criminal photographs stayed in 2D digital images, it would be possible to reproduce not only 3D images but also make a crime scene with 3D printer. Firstly, the video images taken by the investigation agency using the drones are digital image evidence, and the requirements for securing the evidence capability are not different from the conditions for obtaining the proof of digital evidence. However, when the drones become a new area of scientific investigation, it is essential to systematize the authenticity of the images taken by the drones so that they can be used as evidence. In this paper, I propose a method to secure the evidence capability of digital images taken by drone.

General methods of controlling a drone are divided into manual control and automatic control, which means a drone moves along the route. In case of manual control, a man should be able to figure out the location and status of a drone and have a controller to control it remotely. When people control a drone, they collect information about the location and position of a drone with the eyes and have its internal information such as the battery voltage and atmospheric pressure delivered through telemetry. They make a decision about the movement of a drone based on the gathered information and control it with a radio device. The automatic control method of a drone finding its route itself is not much different from manual control by man. The information about the position of a drone is collected with the gyro and accelerator sensor, and the internal information is delivered to the CPU digitally. The location information of a drone is collected with GPS, atmospheric pressure sensors, camera sensors, and ultrasound sensors. This paper presents an investigation into drone control by a remote computer. Instead of using the automatic control function of a drone, this approach involves a computer observing a drone, determining its movement based on the observation results, and controlling it with a radio device. The computer with a Depth camera collects information, makes a decision, and controls a drone in a similar way to human beings, which makes it applicable to various fields. Its usability is enhanced further since it can control common commercial drones instead of specially manufactured drones for swarm flight. It can also be used to prevent drones clashing each other, control access to a drone, and control drones with no permit.

Since year 2016, in Korea, the police department started to use drones to patrol violated vehicles on the highway area. They monitor vehicle drivers who use side ways on the highway during traffic congested hours of the season, drunken drivers, or violent drivers. They use the 'Spot Mobility' method which floats the drones for 30 minute period. However, this method is inefficient since it requires manually charging batteries, gathering data, and operate drones with many numbers of policeman. Therefore, in this paper, for the efficient patrol in this purpose, I have suggested an effectively manageable network system consists of many drones as the wireless network nodes and with small numbers of policeman in a wide highway area. To accomplish this, the two topologies of effective drone patrol network systems are designed and simulated in OPNET simulator for performance evaluation.
