Abstract

The application area based on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is continuously increasing as time passing by. In particular the UAVs which consist of more than four horizontal propellers and the functionality of VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) are utilized in diverse platforms and the application products due to their safety and aerodynamically simpler design and architectures. The most UAV missions are controlled by GCSs (Ground Control System). The GCSs are generally connected to the internet and get electrical map and environmental information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and so on. In this paper, we design a system for UAV system to have capability of approaching to a certain ship and monitoring her efficiently by using AIS (Auto Identification System) information. Furthermore we verify that adapting AIS on GCS side is more efficient through experiments.

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 대한 활용영역은 시간이 갈수록 꾸준히 확대되고 있다. 특히 네 개 이상의 수평적인 프로펠러로 구성된 VTOL(Vertical Take-Off and Landing) 기능이 가능한 UAV는 시스템 안정성 및 비교적 단순한 항공역학적 설계 및 구조에 따라 다양한 플랫폼이 등장하고 있으며 비교적 저렴한 가격으로 응용제품들이 시중에 유통이 되고 있다. UAV는 GCS(Ground Control System, 지상 제어 시스템)를 통해 임무가 수행된다. GCS는 주로 인터넷에 연결되어있기 때문에, 전자지도 및 기타 최적의 비행조건(온도, 습도, 풍향 등)을 위한 환경정보를 또한 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문은 AIS(Auto Identification System)를 통해 얻은 정보를 기반으로 식별된 선박으로의 접근 및 감시(monitoring)하기 위한 UAV의 운영기법을 설계하고 실험을 통해 AIS 시스템을 GCS에 적용하는 것이 효율적임을 입증한다.
