일본 방위성, AI 탑재 감시 위성 개발…'반격 능력' 향상 추진

2030년 이후 우주 발사 목표…장사정 미사일 운용 능력 강화

Quick Look

일본 방위성이 우주에서 감시 위성 정보를 분석하는 AI 탑재 위성을 개발하여 2030년 이후 우주로 발사할 계획이다. 이를 통해 장사정 미사일의 운용 능력을 높이고 반격 능력을 향상한다는 구상이다.

Why It Matters

일본 자위대는 적의 사정거리 밖에서 공격할 수 있는 장사정 스탠드 오프 미사일을 억지력의 주축으로 삼고 있다.

(도쿄=연합뉴스) 이도연 특파원 = 일본 방위성이 우주에서 감시 위성이 모은 정보를 분석하는 인공지능(AI) 탑재 위성을 개발하기로 했다고 니혼게이자이신문(닛케이)이 5일 보도했다.

이를 통해 장사정 미사일의 운용 능력을 높이고, 적의 공격을 억제하는 '반격 능력'을 향상한다는 계획이다.

보도에 따르면 방위성은 2027년도부터 2029년도까지 일본 기업과 함께 AI 위성 시제품을 제작해 지상에서 성능을 검증한 뒤 2030년도 이후 우주로 발사해 기능을 확인할 계획이다.

위성에 탑재되는 AI는 일본산 AI가 될 전망이다.

이 AI 위성은 여러 감시 위성이 모은 정보를 단시간에 처리해 적의 위치를 파악한 뒤 지상으로 전송한다.

지상의 사령부는 위성이 전송한 분석 완료된 정보로 장사정 미사일의 발사를 결정한다.

우주에서 정보 처리를 끝내면 데이터 통신에 드는 시간을 줄일 수 있고, 위성이 발사된 미사일에 실시간으로 정보를 전송하면서 목표물로 유도해 공격의 정확도를 높일 수 있다는 구상이다.

일본 자위대는 적의 사정거리 밖에서 공격 거점을 타격할 수 있는 장사정 '스탠드 오프'(원거리 타격) 미사일을 억지력의 주축으로 삼고 있다.

North Korea commissions new naval destroyer Kang Kon amid regional military drills

North Korea commissioned its new 5,000-ton naval destroyer Kang Kon in Wonsan, with leader Kim Jong-un calling it part of the state nuclear counteraction system. The vessel will join the East Sea Fleet to defend maritime sovereignty. The commissioning follows a failed launch attempt last year and precedes the 78th anniversary of North Korea's founding, occurring as South Korea, the U.S., and Japan began the Freedom Edge military exercise near Jeju Island.

Korea, the U.S. and Japan conduct ‘Freedom Edge’ multi-domain training in international waters east and south of Jeju

Korea, the United States, and Japan will conduct 'Freedom Edge', a regular multi-domain exercise, in the high seas east and south of Jeju from the 7th to the 11th. South Korea, the United States, and Japan will conduct training focusing on maritime missile defense training by mobilizing six ships, including an Aegis destroyer, maritime patrol aircraft, fighter jets, and aerial refueling aircraft, emphasizing that it is a defensive exercise to suppress North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and ensure regional peace and stability.

South Korea, US, Japan begin five-day Freedom Edge military exercise despite scaled-back bilateral drills

South Korea, the United States and Japan launched the five-day Freedom Edge joint military exercise in international waters east and south of Jeju Island on Monday, proceeding as scheduled despite the recent scaling back of the bilateral Ulchi Freedom Shield drills following an order from U.S. President Donald Trump. The exercise, now in its fourth iteration since June 2024, aims to enhance deterrence and response capabilities against North Korean nuclear and missile threats while safeguarding regional peace and stability.
