M. Lee et al.: Intelligent Military Drone: A Case Study of a Reconnaissance Drone
TAEHOON YANG has been pursuing his under-
graduate studies in the Data Science Department
at Inha University in South Korea since 2022. His
research interests include multi-object detection
in the military sector, data augmentation within
military contexts, and the automation of military
operations.
JINGU KIM received the B.S. degree in Control
and Instrumentation Engineering from the Hanbak
National University, South Korea, in 2008, and
the M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering, with a
focus on Structures and Control, from Chungnam
National University, South Korea, in 2015. He is
currently a Senior Researcher in the Defense Sci-
ence and Technology Institute at Poongsan Corpo-
ration. His research interests include System Engi-
neering, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Robotics, and
Artificial Intelligence.
JAEOH KIM received his B.S. degree in Civil
Engineering from the Korea Military Academy,
South Korea, in 2003, and both his M.S. degree
in Industrial Engineering in 2006 and his Ph.D.
degree in Statistics in 2018 from Korea University,
South Korea. A former lieutenant colonel in the
Republic of Korea army, he is currently an Assis-
tant Professor in the Department of Data Science
at Inha University. His research spans data mining,
data science, and statistical computation, with a
unique focus on analyzing military data. This intersection of statistical rigor
and military acumen positions him, contributing to both academic discourse
and practical military applications.
OJEONG KWON received the B.S. degree in En-
glish from the Korea Military Academy in 1985,
the M.S. degree in Operational Analysis from Ko-
rea National Defense University, South Korea, in
1988, and the Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engi-
neering from KAIST in 1998. He served as the
Commander of the Center for Army Analysis and
Simulation from 2014 to 2015 and was the Presi-
dent of the Military Operations Research Society
of Korea from 2017 to 2019. He is currently a
invited Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at
KAIST and Director of the Poongsan-KAIST Future Technology Research
Center. His research interests include Combat Modeling & Simulation,
Operations Research/System Analysis, and Multi-criteria Decision Making
Methodology.
NAMSUK CHO received the B.S. degree in com-
puter science from the Korea Military Academy,
the M.S. degree in operations research from the
Air Force Institute of Technology, OH, USA, and
the Ph.D. degree in industrial engineering from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA, in 2016.
He is currently an Associate Professor with the
Military Operations Research, Korea National De-
fense University. His work focuses on optimiza-
tion and simulation model for various problems
in defense and military domain. He has been involved in many research
project including Military Medical Planning, Critical Infrastructure Protec-
tion, Computer Generated Forces Modeling, and Models for Reconnaissance
Drone.
