Abstract

Artificial intelligence, which is in the spotlight as the core driving force of the 4th industrial revolution, is expanding its scope to various industrial fields such as smart factories and autonomous driving with the development of high-performance hardware, big data, data processing technology, learning methods and algorithms. In the field of defense, as the security environment has changed due to decreasing defense budget, reducing military service resources, and universalizing unmanned combat systems, advanced countries are also conducting technical and policy research to incorporate artificial intelligence into their work by including recognition systems, decision support, simplification of the work processes, and efficient resource utilization. For this reason, the importance of technology-driven planning and investigation is also increasing to discover and research potential defense future technologies. In this study, based on the research data that was collected to derive future defense technologies, we analyzed the characteristic evaluation indicators for future technologies in the field of artificial intelligence and conducted empirical studies. The study results confirmed that in the future technologies of the defense AI field, the applicability of the weapon system and the economic ripple effect will show a significant relationship with the prospect.

4차 산업 혁명의 핵심 동력으로 각광받고 있는 인공지능은 고성능 하드웨어와 빅데이터의 활용, 데이터 처리기술, 학습방법 및 알고리즘의 발전에 따라 단순한 학문적 지식 수준을 넘어 스마트 공장, 자율주행 등 다양한 산업분야에서 활용되며 영역을 넓혀가고 있다. 국방 분야에서도 국방 예산 감축, 병역 자원 감소, 무인 전투체계의 보편화 등 안보 환경이 변화함에 따라 선진국을 중심으로 상황 인식, 결심 지원, 업무 프로세스 간소화, 효율적 자원 활용 등 인공지능을 국방 업무에 접목하기 위한 정책 및 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 이유에서 잠재력 있는 미래 국방기술의 발굴 및 연구개발을 위해 기술주도형 기획과 조사의 중요성 또한 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미래 국방기술 도출을 위해 진행되었던 연구 자료를 바탕으로 인공지능 분야 미래기술에 관한 특성 평가지표를 분석하고 실증연구를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 국방 인공지능 분야 미래기술에서는 무기체계 적용성, 경제적 파급효과가 유망도와 유의미한 관련성을 나타낸다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
