Abstract

In March 2023, the Ministry of National Defense highlighted the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) platform for practical training of combatants between training exercises in its Defense Innovation 4.0 Basic Plan. However, there are many issues to be resolved, such as the use of different simulators and terrain information systems for each military. Therefore, this study examined the cases of the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy, each of which has an advanced synthetic training environment, to derive suggestions for the ROK military.

2023년 3월 국방부는 국방혁신 4.0 기본계획에서 교육훈련간 전투원의 실전적 훈련을 위한 합성훈련환경(STE : Synthetic Training Environment)플랫폼을 강조하였다. 하지만 각 군별 상이한 시뮬레이터 및 지형정보체계 활용 등의 사항으로 풀어나갈 과제가 많다고 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 선진 합성훈련환경을 갖춘 미 육·공·해군 각각의 사례를 확인하며 한국군에 접목해볼 수 있는 사항을 도출하고 발전 방안을 제시한다.
