Abstract

It is absolutely necessary to consider the airspace control of UAVs in pursuing the realistic and urgent task of developing self-reliant airspace control capabilities. This is due to the fact that airspace control requires meticulous preparations and training. Otherwise, there is a strong possibility that a large accident may occur in peacetime, and the battle area will be in chaos during wartime. UAVs are the pinnacle of modern warfare, and are being continuously advanced by developed nations. UAVs are a vital, state-of-the-art element under the concept of self-reliant Network Centric Warfare(NCW) that the ROK forces are pursuing, and as such, various types of UAVs are expected to be gradually fielded in individual units. This situation is expected to be add further pressure upon the already crowded KTO. Therefore, the development of more precise airspace control techniques will act as a force multiplier by enabling various aircraft, anti-aircraft artillery, field artillery, missiles and UAVs to operate together during wartime. This is a crucial task that will require the voluntary and dedicated cooperation and preparations of each service and the related government agencies. However, it is also necessary to resolve issues of conflict that arise due to the difference in technology and culture of airspace users, especially between the ground and air forces. Before an active control system using GPSs are completed, it is vital to establish an efficient system that will allow each unit to access a UAV whenever they need to. This is an issue that cannot be resolved by selfishly parochial service view. It is also necessary to consider the fact that the great increase in UAVs will bring along a shortage of wireless frequencies.
