Abstract

As the type and purpose of drones become diverse and the number of additional functions is increasing, the role of the corresponding software has increased. Through partitioning and an efficient solving of SWaP(size, weight and power) problems, ARINC 653 can provide reliable software reuse and consolidation regarding avionic systems. ARINC 653 can be more effectively applied to drones, a small unmanned aerial vehicle, in addition to its application with large-scale aircraft. In this paper, to exploit ARINC 653 for a drone flight-control program, an intra-partition communication system is implemented through an extension of the layered ARINC 653 and applied to a real drone system. The experiment results show that the overheads of the intra-partition communication are low, while the resources that are assigned to the drone flight-control program are guaranteed through the partitioning.

드론의 종류와 목적이 다양해지고 부가기능이 많아지면서 소프트웨어의 역할이 증가되고 있다. ARINC 653은 파티셔닝을 통해 항공전자 시스템의 소프트웨어 재사용 및 통합을 안정적으로 제공하고 SWaP(Size, Weight and Power) 문제를 효율적으로 해결할 수 있다. ARINC 653은 대형 항공기 외에 소형 무인비행체인 드론에도 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 드론의 비행제어 프로그램에 ARINC 653을 적용하기 위하여 계층적 ARINC 653을 확장하여 파티션 내 통신을 구현하고 실제 드론 시스템에 적용한 사례를 보인다. 실험 결과, 파티션 내 통신의 오버헤드가 낮으며, ARINC 653의 파티셔닝 기능에 의해서 드론의 비행제어 프로그램에 할당된 자원이 보장됨을 확인할 수 있다.
