Abstract

On December 26, 2022, North Korea's drone provocation resumed for the first time in eight years. The threat covered not only the Seoul metropolitan area but also the no-fly zone for the presidential office's security, and the South Korean military's response to it is not appropriate, which is a major controversy. In the midst of this, problems caused by the prohibition of small drones' flight and illegal intrusion into restricted areas are increasing in Korea, and the threat is becoming a reality, such as being used for terrorist attacks abroad. In this paper, the concept of "Counter-Drone" and related technologies were considered for these drone threats, and implications were derived through domestic and overseas small drone threats, and the direction of development of the Counter-Drone system was presented. North Korea's drone threat is expected to be more diversified, massified, and advanced, resulting in bolder attacks and provocations. Therefore, the South Korean military should push for early powering of the integrated control system and the conter drone system, joint and military cooperation in response to the threat of small drones, and the ability to carry out joint operations between South Korea and the U.S.

2022년 12월 26일 북한의 드론 도발은 8년 만에 재개되었다. 이번 위협은 수도권은 물론 대통령실 경호를 위한 비행금지구역까지 해당되었으며, 이에 대한 우리 군의 대응이 적절하지 못해 큰 논란이 되고 있다. 이러한 가운데 국내에서는 소형드론의 비행 금지 및 제한구역의 불법 침입에 따른 문제점이 점증하고 있으며 해외에서는 테러 공격에 활용되는 등 그 위협이 실체화되고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 드론의 위협에 대해 '대드론(Counter-Drone)' 개념과 이와 관련된 기술을 고찰하고 국내 및 해외의 소형드론 위협 사례를 통해 함의를 도출, 대드론체계의 발전방향을 제시하였다. 북한의 드론위협은 더욱 다종화, 다량화, 고도화되어 보다 대담한 공격 및 도발로 이루어질 것으로 보인다. 따라서 우리 군은 통합관제체계 및 대드론체계의 조기 전력화, 소형드론의 위협에 대응한 합동 및 제병협동 차원의 대응, 한·미 대드론 연합작전 수행능력 등을 추진해 나아가야할 것이다.
