무인·자율의 드론 운용을 위한 법적 과제와 전망

Abstract

In order to actively respond to the growing growth rate of the drone market, the basic plan for drone industry development in 2017 is to be expanded by 2026, and the National Assembly passed the Drone Act in April 2019. At the same time, the provisions of the Aviation Safety Act specifically stipulate compliance with ultra-lightweight autonomous pilots, etc. based on operation through drones and controls. Specifically, it can be understood that people are basically operating drones through drone pilots, such as prohibiting flights outside the range of sight, prohibiting drunk flights, prohibiting dangerous flights over densely populated skies, prohibiting flights above 150 meters. In addition, it can be confirmed that it has expanded into unmanned aerial vehicles that can fly drones remotely, automatically, and autonomously in the Enforcement Rules of the Drone Act (2020.5.1. Enforcement) in order to promote active development of the drone industry in the future. The operation of drones was the first to be used for military purposes, and their operational forms have been expanded to the private sector, including logistics delivery and audit observation, but the civilianization of drones has raised the possibility of drone utilization crimes. Based on this overall information, the research aims to take various legal approaches to drone operations and utilization issues such as drone registration, drone licensing, drone insurance, anti-drone issues, drone identification, drone airspace, drone-related legal system problems. This is expected to ultimately contribute to the safer and more effective use of “drone” in this era when unmanned and autonomous are becoming commonplace. In this study, we will approach various issues such as drone registration, drone license, drone flight area, drone identification, drone airspace, drone legal system, and drone accident liability. Ultimately, this is expected to contribute to safer and more effective use of drones in the current era when unmanned and autonomous are commonplace.
