전투차량 수상도하작전 전투효과도 분석 기법 연구

초록

In what direction should the capabilities required for next-generation infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) be designed and deployed? This question is currently being addressed by the army in the ROC. The required performance should established such that combat efficiency can be guaranteed in future ground operations by reviewing various aspects, such as the opinions of the required forces, the development of military science and technology, and lessons learned from war cases. Recently, the demand has increased for the protection of combat vehicles during war, which has become an essential performance element, and combatant protection has been prioritized. In this regard, our military cannot sufficiently supplement protection owing to the limitations of combat loads due to the acquisition of water-crossing capability. Thus, the necessity for combat vehicles to possess water-crossing capability has been highlighted. In this study, based on the necessity of water-crossing capability for next-generation IFVs and the change in the concept of water-crossing operations due to the deployment of self-propelled watercrossing equipment, we present a method for simulating the combat effectiveness of water-crossing operations using the weapon system effect analysis model. An analysis of combat effectiveness revealed that the nextgeneration IFV battalion utilizing the KM3 self-propelled river crossing system during water-crossing operations improved combat effectiveness by approximately 69% compared with the K21 battalion, while survival rates improved by 19%. The analysis presented herein can serve as an objective reference for the debate over the necessity of water-crossing capabilities for next-generation IFVs.
