Abstract

In this paper, technical and patent analysses of anti-drone technology, which aim to neutralize drone attacks are conducted. We conducted research on the technical definition of anti-drone, the technical elements of anti-drone systems, and investigated the patents related to anti-drone and drone filed domestically and internationally over the past 10 years, starting from 2011. For domestic patents, we examined the number of patent applications related to anti-drone and the overall domestic patent applications over the past 10 years. Regarding international filings, we investigated the patent applications related to anti-drone filed in the United States, Europe, Japan, China, and under the PCT system in the past 10 years. We conducted a search for patents related to anti-drone, including neutralization techniques identified under the keyword "anti-drone," patents related to drone detection and identification techniques, and patents related to drone neutralization techniques. Through the conducted research, a total of 91 patents were filed for drone detection techniques. Out of these, 5 patents, accounting for 5.5%, were filed by public institutions. In the case of patents filed for drone identification techniques, there were a total of 174 patents. Among these, 4 patents, which is 2.3%, were filed by public institutions.

본 논문에서는 드론의 공격을 무력화시키는 기술인 안티드론에 대한 기술 및 특허 분석을 실시하였다. 안티드론의 기술 정의, 안티드론 시스템의 기술 요소 등 안티드론의 기술에 대한 조사를 진행하였다. 또한 2011년부터 10년간 국내외에서 출원된 드론 및 안티드론의 출원 특허에 대해 조사하였다. 최근 10년간 국내 특허 출원 건수 및 안티드론에 관한 국내 특허 출원 건수를 조사하였고, 국외 출원의 경우, 미국, 유럽, 일본, 중국, PCT에 최근 10년간 출원된 안티드론에 관한 출원실적을 조사하였다. 국내 안티드론에 관한 특허 내용에 대해 "안티드론"으로 검색된 무력화 기술 특허, 드론의 탐지 및 식별 기술에 관한 특허, 드론의 무력화 기술에 관한 특허 등을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 통해 드론 탐지 기술로 출원된 총 91건의 특허 중 공공기관의 출원은 5건으로 5.5%를 차지하였고, 드론 식별 기술로 출원된 총 174건의 특허 중 공공기관의 출원은 4건으로 2.3%를 차지하였다.
