Abstract

The utilisation of small drones is becoming increasingly widespread particularly in the military sector. In this study, STANAG 4586, a standard interface for military unmanned aerial vehicles, was applied to a multicopter-type small drone to examine the suitability of the military system. To accomplish this, a small multi-copter vehicle was designed and manufactured, integrating a flight control computer, ground control system, and data link. Furthermore, flight control and ground control equipment software were developed by applying the STANAG 4586 interface, followed by HILS and flight tests.

소형 드론은 활용분야가 다양해지고 있으며 특히 군에서는 전장에서 정찰 및 특수목적 용도로 활용 가능한 드론 체계가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 군용 무인기의 표준 인터페이스인 STANAG 4586을 멀티콥터 형태의 소형 드론에 적용하여 군용 체계 적합성을 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 소형 멀티콥터 비행체, 통합비행제어컴퓨터, 지상통제장치, 데이터링크를 설계/제작하고, STANAG 4586 인터페이스를 적용한 비행제어 소프트웨어와 지상통제장비 소프트웨어를 개발하여 HILS 시험과 비행시험을 수행하였다.
