초록

본 연구는 군사용 무인항공기(드론)의 다양한 유형별 특징과 각 유형이 군사 작전에서 어떻게 활용될 수 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구 범위는 고정익, 회전익, 하이브리드, 스웜 드론의 구조적 특징, 장단점, 군사적 활용 사례를 중심으로 하였다. 또한 드론 기술의 발전 방향과 그에 따른 군사 전략의 변화, 기회와 도전 과제를 논의하였다. 연구 결과, 각 유형의 드론은 정찰, 감시, 타격, 물류, 수색 및 구조 등 다양한 군사 작전에서 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있으며, 인공지능, 자율비행, 스웜 기술 등의 발전으로 그 활용 범위가 더욱 확대될 것으로 전망된다. 다만 드론 운용의 안전성, 윤리성 확보와 국제 규범 마련이 주요 과제로 대두되었다.

This paper analyzes the characteristics of various types of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for military use and how each type can be utilized in military operations. The scope of the study focuses on the structural features, advantages and disadvantages, and military application cases of fixed-wing, rotary-wing, hybrid, and swarm drones. It also discusses the development direction of drone technology, changes in military strategy, opportunities, and challenges. The results show that each type of drone plays a crucial role in various military operations such as reconnaissance, surveillance, strike, logistics, search, and rescue. With advancements in artificial intelligence, autonomous flight, and swarm technologies, the range of drone applications is expected to expand further. However, ensuring the safety and ethics of drone operations and establishing international norms have emerged as major challenges.
