Manned-unmanned teaming can be a very promising air-to-air combat tactic since it can maximize the advantage of combining human insight with the robustness of the machine. The rapid advances in artificial intelligence and autonomous control technology will speed up the development of manned-unmanned teaming air-to-air combat system. In this paper, we introduce a manned-unmanned teaming air-to-air combat tactic which is composed of a manned aircraft and an UAV. In this tactic, a manned aircraft equipped with radar is functioning both as a sensor to detect the hostile aircraft and as a controller to direct the UAV to engage the hostile aircraft. The UAV equipped with missiles is functioning as an actor to engage the hostile aircraft. We also developed a combat scenario of executing this tactic where the manned-unmanned teaming is engaging a hostile aircraft. The hostile aircraft is equipped with both missiles and radar. To demonstrate the efficiency of the tactic, we run the simulation of the scenario of the tactic. Using the simulation, we found the optimal formation and maneuver for the manned-unmanned teaming where the manned-unmanned teaming can survive while the hostile aircraft is shot-downed. The result of this study can provide an insight to how manned aircraft can collaborate with UAV to carry out air-to-air combat missions.

As technologies have been more quickly developed in this 4th Industry Revolution era, their application to defense industry has been also growing. With these much advanced technologies, we attempt to use Manned-Unmanned Teaming systems in various military operations. In this study, we consider the Location-Routing Problem for reconnaissance surveillance missions of the maritime manned-unmanned surface vehicles. As a solution technique, the two-phase method is presented. In the first location phase, the p-median problem is solved to determine which nodes are used as the seeds for the manned vehicles using Lagrangian relaxation with the subgradient method. In the second routing phase, using the results obtained from the location phase, the Vehicle Routing Problems are solved to determine the search routes of the unmanned vehicles by applying the Location Based Heuristic. For three network data sets, computational experiments are conducted to show the performance of the proposed two-phase method.

A manned and unmanned complex combat system refers to a combat system that performs various missions by operating manned and unmanned aircraft together. The combat system is rapidly becoming more advanced due to recent remarkable developments in information and communication technologies(ICT), including AI and 5G, and major countries are actively using it in actual battlefields. Furthermore, the importance of this combat system is increasing and it is emerging as the core of future warfare. Accordingly, this study analyzed the concept of the manned and unmanned complex combat system and the current status of its integration with ICT, presented an operational concept utilizing it, and then analyzed the actual current status of related combat systems at home and abroad. Lastly, five suggestions were presented for the development of domestic manned and unmanned complex combat systems.

As the role of high-value air assets(e.g., AWACS, JSTARS, Rivet Joint, E-2) becomes more critical in modern warfare, the air escort for these assets blocking attacks from any potential enemy fighter also becomes vital. Without the escort, the operations of the assets become restricted. However, such an escort is not always possible due to the limited flight time of the escort fighters. In this paper, we introduce an escort tactics for high-value air assets performed by the manned-unmanned teaming composed of a transport aircraft and UAVs(unmanned aerial vehicles). In this tactics, the transport aircraft plays the role of an aircraft carrier, which carries, launches, and retrieves the UAVs. The missions of UAVs in this tactics are to detect and engage enemy fighters. We also introduce the simulation result of this tactics to identify the UAVs' required capabilities and optimal maneuvering.

Recently, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) in the United States is studying a new concept of war called Mosaic Warfare, and MUM-T(Manned-Unmanned Teaming) through the division of missions between expensive manned and inexpensive unmanned aircraft is at the center. This study began with the aim of deriving the priority of autonomous functions according to the role of unmanned aerial vehicles in the present and present collaboration that is emerging along with the concept of mosaic warfare. The autonomous function of unmanned aerial vehicles between the presence and absence collaboration may vary in priority depending on the tactical operation of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as air-to-air, air-to-ground, and surveillance and reconnaissance. In this paper, ACE (Air Combat Evaluation), Skyborg, and Longshot, which are recently studied by DARPA, derive the priority of autonomous functions according to air-to-air collaboration, and use AHP analysis. The results of this study are meaningful in that it is possible to recognize the priorities of autonomous functions necessary for unmanned aircraft in order to develop unmanned aerial vehicles according to the priority of autonomous functions and to construct a roadmap for technology implementation. Furthermore, it is believed that the mass production and utilization of unmanned air vehicles will increase if one unmanned air vehicle platform with only essential functions necessary for air-to-air, air-to-air, and surveillance is developed and autonomous functions are expanded in the form of modules according to the tactical operation concept.

화재나 가스 누출과 같은 실내 재난 상황에서는 신속한 수색 및 구조 작업을 통해 인명 피해를 최소화하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 실내 화재 발생 시 효과적인 수색/구조를 위해 유·무인 복합 운용(MUM-T, Manned-Unmanned Teaming) 개념이 적용된 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안한다. MUM-T 적용을 위해서는 수색/구조 작업에 적절한 에이전트를 식별하여 모델링을 수행해야 한다. 제안하는 에이전트 기반 시뮬레이션은 화재와 맵 모델을 포함하여 재실자 모델, 재실자 수색을 위한 드론 모델, 재실자 수색/구조를 위한 구조대원 모델, 그리고 드론과 구조대원에 수색/구조를 위한 임무를 할당하는 중앙통제소 모델로 구성된다. MUM-T 개념에 따라 식별된 에이전트 모델은 화재 대응 과정에서 다른 에이전트와 상호작용을 하며 시뮬레이션이 진행된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시뮬레이션의 목표는 실내 화재 상황에서 MUM-T의 효용성을 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 수색/구조 작업에 대하여 구조대원으로만 구성된 경우와 구조대원과 드론이 혼합된 MUM-T가 적용된 경우로 나누어 시뮬레이션 실험을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 실험 결과 MUM-T에 적용된 드론이 평균적으로 4명의 구조대원을 대체할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 시뮬레이션은 실내 재난 상황에서 수색과 구조 작업의 효율성을 높이고, 인명 피해를 최소화하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
