This is a study on the propulsion criteria for airworthiness certification of the military aircraft. This treatise described the introduction of the airworthiness certification system, the features and difference between the military and commercial aircraft, the introduction of the standard airworthiness certification, the important technical criteria, and the several application instances of the criteria.

Airworthiness certification of military aircraft is a government's certification that it must have airworthiness and ability to demonstrate its requested function and performance. NATO released STANAG-4671 to establish the minimum airworthiness requirements for UAVs between 150kg and 20,000kg MTOW in 2009. Up to now, there are no clear airworthiness certification criteria and guideline for small UAV which is less than 150kg. STANAG-4671 is used for military UAV airworthiness certification in Korea as Other Airworthiness Certification Criteria. However, since STANAG-4671 requires the same Target Level of Safety without regard to MTOW, excessive Target Level of Safety or design requirements could be applied to relatively small-medium UAV. In this paper, classification and criteria of airworthiness certification for military UAV were investigated and a Target Level of Safety was analyzed based on MTOW using ground victim criteria.

The Airworthiness Certification from the government has an increasingly important role due to the dramatic growth of military aircraft development industry. It is a mandatory process of qualifying the flight safety within the aircraft's operational boundaries throughout its life cycle. The introduction of airworthiness certification has resulted in development paradigm shift from one requirement for one consumer need to the common requirement for many needs. This research paper provide the refinement of airworthiness certification criteria related to the flight control law and the verification methods which comply with its criteria.

지난 8월 1일 "군용항공기 비행안전성 인증에 관한 법률"이 본격 시행됐다. 국제적 수준의 비행안전 인증 체계를 마련함으로써 이제 우리도 우리 손으로 만든 국산 군용항공기의 비행안전성을 체계적으로 검증하고 국가가 그 성능을 보증할 수 있게 된 것이다. 뿐만 아니라 감항인증 관련 비용 및 시간을 대폭 단축할 수 있어 우리 손으로 만든 KT-1과 T-50의 해외 수출에도 큰 도움이 될 것으로 전망되고 있다. 군용항공기 감항인증제도 시행과 관련하여 현재까지의 진행경과 및 감항인증제도 도입 의의를 정리했다.

In 2021, Virgin Orbit converted a 747-400 aircraft into an air launch platform, and successfully launched it twice in February and July. Compared to the existing ground launch, interest in the air launch is increasing due to its great utility, such as its independence from the launch location or weather, cost reducing factor, shorter launch preparation time, and its benefit pursuant to altitude and speed. Additionally, as small satellites have similar performance to mid/large satellites in the past due to the miniaturization and precision of electronic equipment, small satellite launches are expected to dominate in the future. In this paper, institutional certification methods such as domestic, overseas, civilian and military airworthiness certification regulations/procedures are reviewed to ensure flight safety of aerial projectiles using large domestic civil aircraft, and applicable civil and military airworthiness certification technology standards are reviewed and analyzed. Additionally, we will review and suggest effective airworthiness certification application plans that reflect the reality, and present airworthiness certification standards (draft) for aerial launch vehicles, by analyzing applicable airworthiness certification technical standards when remodeling aerial launch vehicles.

There are typically two categories of Flight Test Programs- commercial and military. Commercial flight testing is conducted to certify that aircraft meets all applicable safety and performance requirements of government certifying agency. Military programs differs from commercial in that the government contract with the aircraft manufacturer to design and build an aircraft to meet specific mission capabilities. The final phase of military aircraft flight test is the Operational Test(OT). OT is conducted by a government-only test team with the dictate to certify that the aircraft is suitable and effective to carry out the intended mission. This paper presents the current trends of military aircraft airworthiness certification using civil aircraft certification practices.

The DO-178C guide, which is referenced as the software development guide when a certification of the airworthiness in the commercial airplane is acquired by FAA in US, is recently referenced for the local military aircraft airworthiness. This indicates that when the auditor of the military aircraft airworthiness looks over the software development documents, the auditor reviews if all of the documents are verified in accordance with the DO-178C guide. However, when we developed the military aircraft intercom, We developed its control software in accordance with the CMMI level 3, since there were no requirements for the compliance of the DO-178C guide. Therefore, When we consider the airworthiness of this intercomm system, The analysis for how much the software development based on the CMMI level 3 is different from the DO-178C guide is needed to prepare the essential software documents additionally. Thus, This study analyzes the differences between CMMI level 3 and DO-178C guide and provides that which data on the CMMI level 3 is necessary for the compliance of the aircraft airworthiness comparing with the DO-178C. The analyzed result can be applied at the software development of the other military aircraft avionics equipment based on the CMMI model environment considering the compliance of the military aircraft airworthiness.

The world is currently confronted with regional conflicts among nations that seek to protect their territory. The associated counter-terrorism activities and international business flows can be increased through airworthiness-recognition tasks that are related to aircraft exports, dispatch troops, and overseas bases. It is important to establish airworthiness-recognition processes between foreign military authorities to minimize the potential for sovereign national positions and responsibilities. For this study, the military airworthiness recognition between recognition partners was surveyed to secure flight safety for the development and operation of aircrafts. The analysis of the U.S. and European Military Authority Recognition Questionsets (MARQs) in this paper introduces the rules, inspection capabilities, production process, and certification of the airworthiness authority. The regulatory activities, which are required by the Korea Military Airworthiness Authority (MAA) with respect to foreign MAAs, can be reduced by the implementation of the MARQ.

항공기 운용기술이 점차 항공전자 부품에 의존하는 수준이 높아지고 있으며 항공전자부품은 저전력 소모의 기술로 변천하여 외부의 전자장 환경에 취약성이 증대되고 있다. 또한 항공기 기체구조를 형성하는 부분도 일정부분 알루미늄에서 복합소재로 대체됨에 따라 외부 전자장 환경에 취약성 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 고강도 전자장 환경에서 항공기의 지속적인 안전 비행과 착륙에 대한 대책이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 기술의 변모에 따라 고강도 전자장 환경에 대비한 감항기준이 제정되고 있으며 이에 따른 감항인증 절차도 제정이 되고 있다. 개발 항공기는 항공기의 제작 수준에 맞는 인증 절차를 밟아야 하며 이러한 인증의 수행은 항공기 개발 경험과 신기술에 맞는 인증절차의 개발이 병행되어야 한다.

The software installed on an aircraft is directly related to its safety. Therefore, it shall comply with the standards of the airworthiness certification to ensure safety of flight. Airborne software should be developed in accordance with the DO-178 (Software Consideration in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification) to comply with the airworthiness certification criterion. However, the military airborne software has been developed in accordance with the DAPA weapons system software development and management manual. In this paper, we completed a questionnaire survey of software experts. We also suggest a military airborne software development/certification process based on DO-178.
