드론산업 인프라 투자 우선순위에 관한 연구

A Study on the Priority of Drone Industry Infrastructure Investment

국내는 방제·방역, 탐사·측량, 수색·구조, 영상촬영, 시설관리 등 드론활용 시장 중심으로 성장 추세이나 드론의 핵심기술·부품에 대한 외산 의존도는 높은 실정이다. 미국, 중국 등 드론 선진국들은 드론의 무기화를 확대하고 있으며, 이에 따라 향후에는 드론산업 관련 수·출입 규제 강화, 독과점 등 국가 간 무역 전쟁이 더욱 강화될 우려가 있다. 따라서 차세대 드론의 핵심 기술과 부품·부속장비 등에 대한 연구개발 및 국산화를 위한 정책적 연구와 인프라 투자가 선행 되어야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 AHP 기법을 활용하여 소형 드론기업 육성을 위한 인프라 투자 우선순위를 선정하고, 인프라 투자 전략을 제시하였다.

The drone market in Korea is growing with a focus on the use of prevention, defense, exploration and surveying, search and rescue, video shooting, and facility management. However, the foreign dependence on drone s core technologies and components is high. Drone-powered countries such as the US and China are expanding the weaponization of drones, which can intensify trade wars between countries, such as strengthening import and export regulations and monopoly. Therefore, Korea should put R & D and localization of core technology, parts, and accessories of next generation drone first. For this, policy research and investment in infrastructure, equipment, and research personnel should be preceded. This study studied the evaluation of investment priorities by infrastructure sector (facility equipment, utilization field, and demand manpower) to foster small drone companies through literature studies. To this end, we expanded and reclassified existing research, developed investment prioritization indicators through expert group interviews and reviews, derived future uncertainties, and selected investment priorities by infrastructure sector using AHP techniques. Finally, it proposed an infrastructure construction strategy to foster small drone companies in terms of drone development support, utilization support.
