Abstract

Owing to the development of science technology, particularly the smart concept and defense policy factors of the 4th industry, military weapon systems are advanced, and the scientific and operational force is reduced dramatically. The aspect of the future war is characterized by the operation of troops with reduced forces from advanced and scientific weapon systems in an operational area that has expanded more than four times compared to the present. Reflecting on these situational factors, it is necessary to improve combat methods based on the changes in the battlefield environment and advanced weapon systems. In this study, to find a more efficient future combat method in a changing war pattern, this study applied the battle experiment methodology using Vision21 war game model, which is an analytical model used by the army. Finally, this study aimed to verify the future combat method and unit structure. Therefore, the scenario composition and experiment method that reflect the change in the ground operational environment and weapon system was first composed. Subsequently, an analysis method based on the combat effectiveness was applied to verify the effective combat performance method and unit structure of future infantry units.

과학기술의 발전, 특히, 4차 산업의 스마트개념과 국방 정책적인 요인으로 군의 무기체계는 첨단화·과학화되고 운용병력은 획기적으로 감소되고 있다. 미래전의 양상은 현재보다 4배 이상으로 확장된 작전지역에서 첨단화·과학화된 무기체계로 축소된 병력으로 부대를 운용하는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 상황적 고려요소를 반영하여 전장환경 변화와 발전된 무기체계를 기반으로 한 미래 전투수행방법의 개선을 위한 노력이 절대적으로 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 변화하는 전쟁양상에서 보다 효율적인 미래 보병부대 전투수행방법을 모색하기 위해 현재 육군에서 활용하고 있는 분석용 모델인 비전21 워게임 모델을 활용한 전투실험 방법론을 적용하였으며, 정보, 화력, 장애물 측면에서 실험방법에 대한 시나리오를 구성하였다. 이를 바탕으로 최종적으로 미래 전투수행 방법 및 부대구조를 검증하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 따라서 첫째, 변화되는 지상 작전 환경 및 무기체계 변화를 반영한 시나리오 구성 및 전투실험방법을 설계 하였으며, 둘째, 미래 보병 부대의 효율적인 전투수행 방법 및 부대 구조를 검증하기 위한 전투효과도 기반의 분석 방법을 적용하여, 미래전의 군 구조 및 전투수행 방법에 대해 효율적인 대안을 제시하고자 한다.
