Abstract

The threat of drones is widely occurring not only in the military field but also for important national facilities such as airports and nuclear power plants. Drones are very diverse in types and control methods, so it is not easy to have a uniform defense method and system, and with the development of drone technology, the war paradigm using drones as weapons is also changing. In particular, advances in drone technology are improving the efficiency and accuracy of reconnaissance and attack missions. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to secure research cases on military operation of drones due to difficulties in obtaining information on military operations. Therefore, in this study, we try to create basic data that can effectively establish a plan for performing reconnaissance and attack missions by deriving each operational aspect through analysis of operation cases of reconnaissance and attack drones.

드론의 위협은 군사 분야뿐만 아니라 공항이나 원전 등 국가 중요 시설에 대하여 광범위하게 발생하고 있다. 드론은 종류나 조종 통제방식 등이 매우 다양하여 획일적으로 방어하는 방법과 시스템을 갖추기가 쉽지 않으며, 드론 기술의 발전에 따라 이를 무기로 활용한 전쟁 패러다임도 변화하고 있다. 특히 드론 기술의 발전으로 인해 정찰 및 공격 임무의 효율성과 정확성이 향상되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 군사작전에 대한 정보획득에 어려움으로 인하여 드론의 군사적 운용에 관한 연구사례 확보가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정찰 및 공격 임무 수행 드론의 운용사례 분석을 통하여 각각의 운용양상을 도출하여 정찰과 공격 임무 수행 계획을 효과적으로 수립할 수 있는 기초 자료를 만들고자 한다.
