미·한 육군 신속획득 생태계 비교 분석을 통한 한국형 연속적 변혁체계 제안: 미 육군 '연속적 변혁' 전략과 한국 육군 '드론봇 챌린지' 사례를 중심으로 = A Proposal for a Korean Continuous Transformation System through a Comparative Analysis of the U.S. and ROK Army Rapid Acquisition Ecosystems: Focusing on the U.S. Army's 'Continuous Transformation' Strategy and the ROK Army's 'Dronebot Challenge' Cases

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recent modern warfare, including the war in Ukraine, highlights the rapid integration of advanced commercial technologies as a critical factor for battlefield superiority. Responding to this, the U.S. Army's "Continuous Transformation" strategy has established a seamless agile acquisition ecosystem.
They achieved a rapid procurement and field feedback cycle by integrating programs from discovery (xTech) to mass production (SkyFoundry) with Soldier Touch Points (STP). In contrast, while the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army successfully evolved its 'Dronebot Challenge' into a demonstration-centric feedback system in 2025, it still suffers from structural disconnects in its acquisition pipeline, where verified technologies fail to lead to immediate formal procurement and mass production. This study attempts to overcome these limitations by comparing the rapid-acquisition ecosystems of both armies and by developing the Korean Continuous Transformation (CT-K) system from an Agile framework perspective. Specifically, it suggests legislating the Korea Capability Sprint Model (K-CSM) to institutionalize a fast-track pipeline and establishing the Army Continuous Transformation Control Office (A-CTCO) as a control tower. This methodology will serve as a foundational step for the ROK Army to secure overwhelming advantages in future warfare through realistic and agile acquisition by unifying fragmented demonstration programs.
