This study focuses on the development of intelligent combat robot systems for future warfare. The research is structured as follows: First, the introduction presents the rationale for researching intelligent combat robots and their potential to become game changers in future warfare. Second, in the context of the intelligent robot paradigm, this study proposes the need for military organizations to innovate their combat concepts and weapon systems through the effective utilization of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive, Biometric, and Mechanical technologies. This forms the theoretical background of the study. Third, the analysis of intelligent robot systems considers five examples: humanoid robots, jumping robots, wheeled and quadrupedal pack robots, and tank robots. Finally, the discussion and conclusion propose that intelligent combat robots should be selected as game changers in military organizations for future warfare, and suggest further research in this area.

The Army has presented eight game-changers for future warfare through 'Army Vision 2050,' including Intelligent Combat Robots, Super Soldiers, Energy Weapons, Hypersonic Weapons, Non-lethal Weapons, Autonomous Mobile Equipment, Intelligent Command and Control Systems, and Energy Supply Systems. This study focuses on Intelligent Combat Robots, considering them as the most crucial element among the mentioned innovations. How will Intelligent Combat Robots be utilized on the future battlefield? The future battlefield is expected to take the form of combined human-robot warfare, where advancements in science and technology allow intelligent robots to replace certain human roles. Especially, tasks known as Dirty, Difficult, Dangerous, and Dull (4D) in warfare are expected to be assigned to robots. This study suggests three forms of Intelligent Robots: humanoid robots, biomimetic robots, and swarm drones.

본 논문에서는 스마트폰을 이용하여 원격감시 및 로봇제어를 위하여 로봇기술(RT, Robot Technology)과 정보기술(IT, Information Technology)의 융합기술인 RITS을 활용하여 구현된 정찰 및 전투 로봇의 프레임워크를 제안한다. 구현된 시스템에서 로봇에 장착된 카메라폰은 로봇을 제어하는데 활용할 뿐만 아니라 원격지에 있는 운용자의 스마트폰으로 영상정보를 전송한다. 따라서 운용자는 스마트폰의 주변지역을 정찰할 수 있다. 또한 운용자는 스마트폰을 이용하여 로봇의 움직임을 제어할 뿐만 아니라, 스마트폰으로 명령을 내려 로봇에 장착한 무기를 발사할 수 있다. 실험결과, 3세대 이동통신을 이용하여 원격지에서 실시간으로 로봇의 주변 환경을 정찰하고 로봇을 제어 할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 시야에서 관찰되는 영역에 로봇 있을 경우 2세대 이동통신이나 유선 전화기를 이용하여 실시간으로 로봇을 제어할 수 있다.

The use of robot is no longer limited in the industrial scene, and becoming expanded toward many aspects of human life. Especially, military robot closely concerned with our lives seems to advance more and more in the future. As a need analysis for developing military robot, this project conducted a poll about Unmanned Reconnaissance Robot, and on the basis of the result, I suggested 3 directions of developing UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle) suitable to strategic environment of Korea.

In this paper, a new user interface for unmanned combat vehicle(UCV) is developed based on the mission planning and global path planning. In order to complete a tactical mission given to an UCV, it is essential to design an effective interface scheme between human and UCV considering changing combat environment and characteristics of the mission. The user interface is mainly composed of two parts, mission planning and global path planning, since they are important factors to accomplish combat missions. First of all, mission types of UCV are identified. Based on mission types, the concept of mission planning for UCVs is presented. Then a new method for global path planning is devised. It is capable of dealing with multiple grid maps to consider various combat factors so that paths suitable for the mission be generated. By combining these two, a user interface method is suggested. It is partially implemented in the Dog-horse Robot of ADD and its effectiveness is verified.

The ultimate purpose of this study is as follows: The current primary concern in the defense sector revolves around how to strategically utilize Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies in combat. The Fourth Industrial Revolution denotes a shift towards an environment where automation and connectivity are maximized, driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence. Coined by Klaus Schwab in the 2015 Davos Forum, this term highlights the significant role of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Particularly, the military application of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies is expected to be actively researched and implemented. Combat involves military actions between units, typically conducted as part of a larger war, with units striving to achieve one or more objectives. The concept of combat refers to the fundamental ideas of how units should engage with the enemy, both presently and in future scenarios, to achieve assigned objectives.

This paper introduces a graphical user interface design that is aimed to apply to the surveillance and security robot, which is the pilot program for the army unmanned light combat vehicle. It is essential to consider the activities of robot users under the changing security environment in order to design the efficient graphical user interface between user and robot to accomplish the designated mission. The proposed design approach firstly identifies the user activities to accomplish the mission in the standardized scenarios of military surveillance and security operation and then develops the hierarchy of the interface elements that are required to execute the tasks in the surveillance and security scenarios. The developed graphical user interface includes input control component, navigation component, information display component, and accordion and verified by the potential users from the various skilled levels with the military background. The assessment said that the newly developed user interface includes all the critical elements to execute the mission and is simpler and more intuitive compared to the legacy interface design that was more focused on the technical and functional information and informative to the system developing engineers rather than field users.

This paper briefly reviews the path planning methods that are applicable to the autonomous mobile robots for the military. Two distinct path search algorithms, $A^*$ and $D^*$ that are most popular and flexible in public applications, among those reviewed are coded and analyzed in terms of combat environment assessment factors called METT+TC for the area of operations. The results imply that it is important to consider the characteristics of defense acquisition process and the specific requirements of defense operation so that the successful technology development of the Robot products is directly linked to the defense procurement of Robot products.

In this paper, a global path generation method is suggested using multiple grid maps connected with the mission type of unmanned combat vehicle(UCV). In order to carry out a mission for UCV, it is essential to find a global path which is coincident with the characteristics of the mission. This can be done by considering various combat circumstances represented as grid maps such as velocity map, threat map and communication map. Cost functions of multiple grid maps are linearly combined and normalized to them simultaneously for the path generation. The proposed method is realized using $A^*$, a well known search algorithm, and cost functions are normalized in the ratio of the traverse time which is one of critical information should be provided with the operators using the velocity map. By the experiments, it is checked found global paths match with the mission type by reflecting input data of grid maps properly and the computation time is short enough to regenerate paths in real time as combat circumstances change.
