미국의 군사혁신과 “상쇄전략” : 장기 경쟁전략으로서의 기술우위와 비용부과 = The US Future Strategy and Revolution in Military Affairs : The Offset Strategy to Threats and Challenges

국문 초록 (Abstract)

탈냉전 이후 유일한 패권국으로 남은 미국은 변화하는 안보환경 속에서도 자국의 우세를 유지하기 위해 세 번째 "상쇄전략"을 내놓았다. 이미 두 차례 상쇄전략을 통해 상대에 대한 우위를 유지했던 경험을 가지고 있었지만, 3차 상쇄전략은 "네트워크 국가"로서의 미국의 포괄적 군사혁신 노력을 잘 보여준다. 미국의 위협인식과 대응전략은 철저히 강대국 중심의 고전지정학의 영역에 머물러있지만, 대내적 군사혁신 거버넌스, 국제협력과 대외적 네트워크를 통해 확대된 영역에서의 우위를 추구하고 있다.
본 연구는 1,2차 상쇄전략으로부터 3차 상쇄전략으로 발전하는 과정에서 미국 위협인식의 지속과 변화를 살펴본다. 상쇄전략은 기술혁신을 통해 달성한 우위를 바탕으로 비용을 부과하여 적극적인 소진전략을 추구해 온 미국 군사혁신의 특징을 잘 보여준다. 미국 군사전략의 목표는 장기 경쟁관계에서 우위를 달성하는 것이었으며, 군사혁신은 이러한 목표의 구현을 제약하는 요인을 극복하기 위한 방법과 수단의 혁신으로 나타났다.
미국의 상쇄전략은 기술혁신, 작전혁신, 조직혁신으로 나누어 살펴볼 수 있다. 첫째, 4차 산업혁명의 최첨단 기술을 통해 상대에 대한 압도적 우위를 추구하며, 민간분야의 성과를 활용하기 위해 역동적인 민군협력 프로그램을 추진하고 있다. 둘째, 첨단기술을 운용하기 위한 작전혁신의 측면에서 다양한 합동 및 각군의 작전개념을 내놓고 미래전 수행개념을 발전시키고 있다. 셋째, 조직혁신 차원에서 연구개발 역량을 강화하고, 혁신적인 문화를 조직에 정착시키려는 노력이 이어지고 있으며, 국방혁신센터와 전략능력실이 대표적 사례이다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The United States, which remains the only hegemony after the post-Cold War, has come up with its third "offset strategy" to maintain its dominance despite the changing security environment. As the US already had the experience of maintaining an advantage over his opponent through two offset strategies, the third offset strategy illustrates the United States' comprehensive military innovation efforts as a "network country." The U.S. threat perception and response strategy remain strictly in the realm of classical geopolitics centered on strategic rivalry, but are pursuing an edge in the expanded areas through internal military innovation governance, international cooperation and external networks.
This study examines the continuation and change of US threat perception in the process of developing from the 1st and 2nd offset strategies to the 3rd offset strategy. The offset strategy shows the characteristics of US military innovation, which has been pursuing active exhaustion strategies by imposing costs based on the advantages achieved through technological innovation. The ends of the U.S. military strategy is to achieve superiority in long-term competition, and military innovation is found to be an innovation of ways and means to overcome the factors limiting the implementation of these goals.
The US offset strategy can be divided into technological innovation, operational innovation, and organizational innovation. First, through the state-of-the-art technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it pursues an overwhelming advantage over its opponents and promotes a dynamic civil-military cooperation program to utilize the results of the private sector. Second, in terms of operational innovation to operate high-tech technologies, various joint and services’ operational concepts are presented and the concept of future warfighting is being developed. Third, efforts are being made to strengthen R&D capabilities in terms of organizational innovation, establish an innovative culture in the organization, and the Defense Unit Innovation and the Strategic Capabilities Office are representative examples.
