초록

최근 무인기는 정찰, 수송, 통신, 항공촬영 등 다양한 분야로 급속히 확대되고 있다. 또한 무인기 자동화 기술의 발전으로 한 명의 운용자가 복수의 무인기를 동시에 감독제어할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 운용자에게 할당된 무인기의 대수가 많아지면 처리가 필요한 정보의 양이 많아져 운용자가 감당할 수 있는 부하보다 커질 수가 있다. 이에 따라 복수무인기를 제어하는 운용자의 과부하를 효율적으로 측정할 수 있는 지표 개발의 필요한 실정이나, 이와 관련된 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 복수무인기 운용자 임무과부하 연구의 국내외 동향을 파악하고, 복수무인기 운용 시나리오와 지상체를 설계하여, 임무과부하 지표의 효용성을 검증하는 실험환경을 구축하여 향후 임무과부하 지표 연구를 위한 기반을 마련하였다.

There is no doubt that advances in UAV technology have improved military performance. However, these advances require humans to adapt to new and complex operational systems. UAV has been rapidly expanding to a variety of fields such as reconnaissance, transportation, communication and aerial photographing recently. Also, with the development of UAV automation technology, one operator is able to supervisory-control multiple-UAVs. However, as the number of assigned UAV increases, the amount of information increases and this results in the workload of the operator increasing and deterioration in controlling performance. Accordingly, there is a need for a model to determine the level of overload an operator may encounter with regard to multiple-UAV but nationally this kind of research is currently lacking. Therefore, this paper provides an experimental platform for evaluating workload index effectiveness integrating multiple-UAV operational environments, GCS, and eye-tracking system followed by a limited survey of domestic and international studies of multi-UAV overload studies.
