미래 전장위협에서 레이저 무기 발전방향 및 요구성능 도출방안

Abstract

Battlefield threats can be represented by rocket, field artillery, missile and aircraft. Some of advanced counties are trying to develop and field laser weapon systems to counter those threats. Recently domestic institute, ADD, succeeded in generating high energy laser, but in order to weaponize laser system, it is necessary for us to establish operational concept and required capability for laser weapon system. To address these needs, current capability against those threats and possible supplement by laser weapon were analyzed, suggesting recommendation for the korean R&D policy of laser weapon system. Secondly, operational use of laser weapon system and target system vulnerability by laser weapon system were analyzed to enhance understanding of the operational concept for laser weapon system. Thirdly, major factors affecting destruction energy were analyzed prior to effectiveness analysis. Finally this study suggested the logical flow of effectiveness analysis and process to draw capability requirement for laser weapon system.
