Model based virtual Flight Control System construction is essential for Fly-by-Wire Flight Control System verification & validation(V&V) of concurrent engineering base. We researched the concept of dual-architecture system for virtual system construction, and analyzed Flight Control System that is applied to high altitude long endurance(HAE) UAS. Finally, we constructed the model based virtual Flight Control System with system analysis and achieved system verification about flight critical failure modes. Analysis target is RQ-4A.

미사일의 동특성은 공력계수(aerodynamic coefficients)들의 구조 및 그 계수값에 의해 결정된다. 현재까지 공력계수는 풍동시험(wind tunnel test)에 의한 모형법으로 구하는 것이 보편적이었으나 모형과 실제 시스템의 차이에 의해 발생하는 오차, 풍동시험의 오차, 모형의 스케일 팩터(scale factor)오차, 실제 대기조건의 특성에 의한 오차 등에 의해, 시제품을 이용한 실제 비행시험 결과가 풍동시험 모델을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션(computer simulation)의 가상 비행 데이타와 차이를 나타내게 된다. 이러한 차이를 감소시키기 위하여 필터 이론을 적용하기 위해서는 수학적 계수 모델이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 풍동시험모델로부터 3가지의 수학적 모델을 가정하고 이를 이용하여 확장칼만필터(extended Kalman Filter: EKF)와 최대공산법(maximum likelihood method :ML)을 각각 적용시켰을때 추정된 계수치에 의한 가상비행데이타와, 풍동시험모델에 의한 가상비행데이타를 비교하여, 수학적 계수 모델 설정에 따른 각 알고리즘의 추정결과를 알아보고, 이에의해 계수 모델 설정의 방법 및 기준, 그리고 계수구조 설정에 따른 EKF와 ML의 성질을 조사하였다.

In this work, autonomous formation flight tests of multiple UAVs are experimentally studied. After a guidance and control system for a UAV is designed and tested, PID formation controller for follower UAV is tested using longitudinal and lateral distance feedback. It is shown that more stable and efficient formation guidance system is obtained by using position and attitude of the leader aircraft, which is exploited to calculate virtual waypoint for follower. In order to improve transient response during turn, part of roll command of the leader is added to the guidance command. Finally, autonomous formation flight test results of 3 UAVs are shown by using the best guidance algorithm suggested.

The main purpose of the current research is to developments a real-time Hardware In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation testbed for the satellite formation flying navigation and orbit control. The HIL simulation testbed is integrated for demonstrations and evaluations of navigation and orbit control algorithms. The HIL simulation testbed is composed of Environment computer, GPS simulator, Flight computer and Visualization computer system. GPS measurements are generated by a SPIRENT GSS6560 multi-channel RF simulator to produce pseudorange, carrier phase measurements. The measurement date are transferred to Satrec Intiative space borne GPS receiver and exchanged by the flight computer system and subsequently processed in a navigation filter to generate relative or absolute state estimates. These results are fed into control algorithm to generate orbit controls required to maintain the formation. These maneuvers are informed to environment computer system to build a close simulation loop. In this paper, the overall design of the HIL simulation testbed for the satellite formation flying navigation and control is presented. Each component of the testbed is then described. Finally, a LEO formation navigation and control simulation is demonstrated by using virtual scenario.

The conceptual design lunar lander demonstrator has been developed to use as a test bed for advanced spacecraft technologies and to test a prototype planetary lander capable of vertical takeoff and landing. Size of the lunar lander demonstrator is the same as that of lunar lander conceptually designed, however, the weight of lunar lander demonstrator is designed in 1/6 scale in consideration of gravity difference between moon and earth. The thruster clustering and virtual flight test were performed in the demonstrator fixed on the ground. The demonstrator ground test has been conducted for two months in the test site for the solid motor combustion of the Goheung Flight Center. The purposes of ground test of demonstrator are to demonstrate and verify essential electronics, propulsion system, control algorithm, embedded software, structure and system operation technologies before developing the flight model lander. This paper is described about the virtual flight test including test configuration, test aims and test facilities

In an evaluation process of aircraft flying qualities, a clear and concise application interface is important since an evaluation process requires numerous repeated evaluation. This flight evaluation program have implemented efficient flight evaluation user interface along with changed trim condition interface and composed of comprehensive evaluation interface have mounted all automated FQ evaluation modules that was selected to be compose of 14 items in respect of an unmanned fixed-wing aircraft. Accordingly when it is necessary to design the flight control system as well as to develop a FQ considered aircraft, this S/W can be utilized as a tool that is a useful test evaluation S/W with scalability and enable to reduce the time and the cost of verification and evaluation process.

Recently, drone is extending its range of usability. For example, the delivery, agriculture, industry, and entertainment area take advantage of drone mobilities. To control real drones, it needs huge amount of drone control training steps. However, it is risky; falling down, missing, destroying. The virtual drone system can avoid such risks. We reason that what kinds of technologies are required for building the virtual drone system. First, it needs that the virtual drone authoring tool that can assemble drones with the physical restriction in the virtual environment. We suggest that the drone assembly method that can fulfill physical restrictions in the virtual environment. Next, we introduce the virtual drone simulator that can simulate the assembled drone moves physically right in the virtual environment. The simulator produces a high quality rendering results more than 60 frames per second. In addition, we develop the physics engine based on SILS(Software in the loop simulation) framework to perform more realistic drone movement. Last, we suggest the virtual drone controller that can interact with real drone controllers which are commonly used to control real drones. Our virtual drone system earns 7.64/10.0 user satisfaction points on human test: the test is done by one hundred persons.

This paper investigates the implementation and flight test of realtime vision guided autopilot system based on virtual instrumentation platform. A graphical design process via virtual instrumentation platform is fully used for the image processing, communication between systems, vehicle dynamics control, and vision coupled guidance algorithms. A significatnt ojective of the algorithm is to achieve an environment robust autopilot despite wind and an irregular image acquisition condition. For a robust vision guided path tracking and hovering performance, the flight path guidance logic is combined in a multi conditional basis with the position estimation algorithm coupled with the vehicle attitude dynamics. An onboard flight test equipped with the developed realtime vision guided autopilot system is done using the rotary UAV system with full attitude control capability. Outdoor flight test demonstrated that the designed vision guided autopilot system succeeded in UAV's hovering on top of ground target within about several meters under geenral windy environment.

In this paper a neural network-based fault tolerant control system for aircraft sensor and actuator failures is considered. By exploiting flight dynamic relations a set of neural networks is constructed to detect sensor failure and give alternative signal for the faulty sensor. For actuator failures another set of neural networks is designed to perform fault detection, identification, and accomodation which returns the aircraft to a new stable trim. Integrated system is simulated to show the performance of the system with sensor and control surface failures.
