A Study on the Standardization(Specification) Method For the military use of commercial drones

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: According to the recent war, commercial drones have been deployed to combat sites, increasing the value of military use such as bomb drop and suicide bombing, and at the same time, they are recognized as a “game changer of the battlefield,” but they are not standardized(Specification), so only the same company’s products can be “replaced with different parts.” Meanwhile, in the domestic drone market, low-cost equipment, motors, transmissions, servos, and FC (Flight Controllers) are imported from China to manufacture and deliver drones for the lowest price bid, and in severe cases, design drawings are sent to China to be manufactured according to the required operational capability (ROC) and delivered in reverse. In some cases, core parts such as “Serbo” were exported to North Korea in recognition of our company’s technology, and were identified as being mounted on drones that penetrated into South Korea, so the study was conducted through major case analysis. Some suggest that it is okay to use Chinese-made motors or transmissions, which are representative parts of hardware, but the number of parts can be calculated based on ROC. In other words, the optimal component composition is determined by comprehensively considering various factors such as product performance and stability, and if the number of parts is inversely calculated, it is possible to estimate the operation discharge. This can also be seen as a drone power outflow by discharge in the manned/unmanned complex combat system advocated by the military. Therefore, by establishing standards and standards for equipment, parts, control, and passwords delivered to the military and public institutions, this study is expected to strengthen the military utilization of commercial drones in the event of war or provocation, while protecting core technologies for parts such as “serbo,” which is recognized worldwide, and preventing ROC leaks to commercial drones used in our military.
