[학술논문] 美 프로젝트 메이븐 사례 분석을 통한 한국군 AI 기반 통합 전장가시화 체계 구축 방안

현대 전장에서 운용되는 ISR 자산의 다양화와 데이터의 폭발적 증가는 정보 과부하를 유발하여, 기존 인력 중심 분석 체계의 적시성 있는 데이터 처리 역량에 한계를 드러내고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 미 국방부의 '프로젝트 메이븐(Project Maven)' 성공 사례를 벤치마킹하여, 데이터 분산과 실시간 분석 능력 부족이라는 한국군 ISR 체계의 당면과제를 극복할 'AI 기반 통합 전장가시화 체계'를 제안한다. 본 연구가 제시하는 실행 방안은 크게 2단계로 구성된다. 1단계(학습 데이터셋 구축 및 모델 최적화)는 파편화된 ISR 수집 데이터를 통합하고 국제 표준 기반의 메타데이터 표준화를 수행한다. 이를 통해 고신뢰도 학습 데이터셋을 구축하고, 이동발사대(TEL)와 같은 시한성 표적(TST)을 정밀 식별할 수 있는

[해외] A New Rocket Motor Further Muddles North Korea’s Solid-Propellant ICBM Outlook

North Korea claims to have ground-tested a “newly upgraded” solid-propellant rocket motor about 20% more powerful than the new motor it revealed in September 2025. The source of the motor’s thrust increase is unclear, as is whether any Russian assistance was involved. Pyongyang associated the new motor with “strategic forces” but not a specific missile system; use as the first stage of an intercontinental
