Abstract

In military weapon systems, control sticks for weapon operation are essential. This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a control stick for weapon systems using RS-422 communication and an embedded processor. This control stick is ergonomically designed, considering the hand dimensions of Korean pilots and mission convenience. The circuitry and software based on RS-422 communication were designed using an embedded processor. A prototype of the control stick was manufactured and subjected to a series of tests, including basic performance tests and various environmental tests such as altitude, high temperature, low temperature, temperature shock, humidity, rain, vibration shock, and acceleration, all of which met the required standards.

군 무기체계에서는 무장을 제어하기 위한 조종간이 필수적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 RS-422 통신과 임베디드 프로세서를 이용하여 무장 조종간의 설계와 성능을 평가한다. 이 무장 조종간은 한국 조종사의 손 치수와 임무 편의성을 고려하여 인체공학적으로 디자인되었으며, RS-422 통신 기반의 회로와 소프트웨어는 임베디드 프로세서를 이용하여 설계되었다. 무장 조종간의 시제품을 제작하여 기본성능시험 및 고도, 고온, 저온, 온도충격, 습도, 강우, 진동 충격, 가속도 등 다양한 환경시험을 시행하여 기준을 충족하였다.
