Abstract

The Nord Stream explosion and the damage to submarine cables in the Baltic Sea and Red Sea have raised interest in seabed warfare all the world. And each country is preparing response plans and strategy. However, although South Korea relies on submarine cables for most of its internet network and is vulnerable to threats from North Korea and neighboring countries, even the term Seabed Warfare is unfamiliar. This paper is the first domestic study to analyze the definition and characteristics of seabed warfare, the current status of each country, and suggest countermeasures. In order to respond to seabed warfare, I propose establishing a cooperative system based on Mini-multilateralism between countries that share an international rules-based order, and establishing governance with related domestic organizations and companies. And I propose a military response plan based on deterrence by denial and deterrence by retaliation

노르트스트림 폭발, 발트해와 홍해에서의 해저케이블 훼손 사건은 전 세계적으로 해저전에 관한 관심을 불러일으키고 각국은 대응방안을 준비하고 있다. 하지만 한국은 해저케이블에 네트워크 대부분을 의존하고 북한과 주변국의 위협에 취약한 상황이지만 해저전(Seabed Warfare)이라는 용어조차 익숙하지 않다. 본 논문은 해저전의 정의와 특징, 각국의 현황을 분석하고 대응방안을 제시하는 국내 최초의 연구물이다. 해저전 대응을 위해 국제적으로 규칙기반의 질서를 공유하는 국가 간 소다자주의에 의한 협력체계 구축, 국내 관계 기관 및 업체와의 거버넌스 구축, 거부적 억제와 보복적 억제에 기초한 군사적 대응방안을 제시한다.
