Abstract

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on a nuclear weapon or the airlift of an electronic bomb affects weapons systems, information devices, wired and wireless communication equipment, and power supply equipment. It can lead to confusion on the battlefield. The current standards for EMP protection when applied to the military are centered on fixed and mobile facilities and equipment. It is, however, important to study EMP protection for a single tactical unit centered on the weapon system. In this study, EMP protection standards were established for command and control, maneuvering and firepower systems vulnerable to EMPs, focusing on battle tanks with mobility, firepower, and shock force. Also, specific development plans for EMP protection capabilities are proposed, including the shielding and blocking of EMPs. Through the study, the Korean government intends to ensure a unit's command and control under an EMP attack as well as preserve the viability of a unit's personnel and guarantee the conditions for the execution of a mission.

핵무기 공격 시나 전자폭탄의 공겨 시 발생하는 전자기펄스(EMP: electromagnetic pulse)는 무기체계, 정보기기, 유·무선 통신장비, 전력공급 장비 등에 영향을 주어 전장에서 혼란을 초래하게 한다. 지금까지의 군에 적용 중인 EMP 방호에 대한 기준은 고정 및 이동시설과 장비를 중심으로 되어 있어 무기체계 중심의 단일 전술제대에 대한 EMP 방호 소요에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 전술제대 중 기동력과 화력, 충격력을 지닌 전차대대의 전차와 지휘용장갑차를 중심으로 EMP에 취약한 지휘통제, 기동, 화력체계에 대하여 EMP 방호기준을 설정하고, EMP 차폐 및 차단 등 EMP 방호능력 발전방안을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 이를 통해 EMP 상황하 부대 지휘통제와 부대원의 생존성을 보장하고 임무수행 여건을 보장하고자 한다.
