The simplified performance analysis and initial configuration design are required for the successful development of UAV during the conceptual design, in which empirical formulas and trend equations are utilized for the UAV performance analysis. In the conceptual design phase various UAV configurations may be considered, however, it is very inefficient and unnecessary to consider all configurations for the conceptual design. In this study, the database for the fixed wing UAVs whose MTOW is between 50kg and 1,500kg was also constructed for the selection of configuration frequently used. The parametric analyses were performed for major performance parameters, and trend equations were developed through regression analyses for these individual performance parameters.

In this paper, we introduce a satellite conceptual design software which can be used for outlining a new satellite as well as for educational purpose. This software consists of three commercial tools: MATLAB, STK(Satellite Tool Kit), and Excel. The management of the design software is done by MATLAB which provides basic calculations, GUI(Graphical User Interface), Excel data base management, and STK control. STK, an orbital simulation software developed by AGI, takes a part of obtaining accurate orbital information of a satellite. Excel, a product of Microsoft, is used for the data base of previous satellites and for the saving place of temporary and final results of the software. The conceptual design of a satellite is to roughly estimate power system and mass. In the power system design, the sizes of solar array and battery are determined. Based on the database of existing satellites, we can estimate the subsystems's mass fraction of a target satellite. Design examples for Kompsat 1 and 2 are suggested for verification of the developed software.

In order to note some points necessary for developing the cornerstone design course concentrating on conceptual design through that students acknowledge that engineering design is not to make things but to produce knowledge not only meet requirements of clients, users, and stake holders but also to solve problems, this paper describes the contents for the course that covers conceptual design as well as embodiment design, explains some ways and tools both for guiding students and for asking for study of lecture materials, and discuss things to be considered when faculty designs the course.

The purpose of this study is to develop a method of applying response surface analysis to trade-off techniques for the conceptual design of armored vehicle. The problem areas of concern are the use of this method in the selection of optimum design points when user requirements are in conflict. The application of this method to trade-offs of performance parameters in terms of weight are presented.

A computer system supporting conceptual design is required to have not only a design model for creative works but also flexibility to cope with changing environments. In this research, a new conceptual design system was developed by expanding functions of existing systems. The modules of the system were maintained to have independency so that each unit module could be executed alone. The adaptable conceptual design system based on the super-application concept which control each module in high level was developed using UNIX C Shell of SUN SPARC workstation.

In this paper, the conceptual design of satellite digital base put which is based upon data interface between satellite on-board computer and remote devices like satellite sub-components is presented. This conceptual design shows the unification of the interface between on-board computer and satellite remote devices and the hierarchical results of the interface level. A comparison of different system and merits and demerits of digital base part coming from this conceptual design is performed.

The design process must be planned carefully and executed systematically in order to support designers who are faced with many engineering design problems. In particular, conceptual design stage is very important than other stages such as detailed design or manufacturing stage on designing engineering systems. When designers are faced contradictory situation in task, conceptual design usually requires inventive thinking which depends on their creativity. And in order to develop good concepts, it is necessary to resolve contradictory situations during conceptual design. This paper presents a structure of systematic conceptual design process for designing engineering systems. And we developed the automatic feeding screw device using the proposed design process structure.

The research of the AI-based command decision support system was insufficient both quantitatively and qualitatively. In particular, in Korea, there was no research on concrete concept design at the current concept research level. This paper proposed the conceptual design of a tactical echelon command decision support system based on artificial intelligence(AI) according to the current army's doctrine of the operation process. The suggested conceptual design clarified the problem and proposed an appropriate process for design, and applied the function analysis method among rational techniques that enable conceptual design systematically.

Through this study, a conceptual design for the next generation high-speed EMU has been derived to meet the crash worthiness requirements of the Korean rollingstock safety regulation. The crashworthiness regulations require some performance requirements for two heavy collision accident scenarios; a train-to-train collision at the relative speed of 36 km/h, and a collision against a standard deformable obstacle of 15 ton at 110km/h. The complete train set will be composed of 2TC-6M with 13 ton axle load, which is different from KTX with the power car of 17 ton axle load. Using theoretical and numerical analyses, a crashworthy conceptual design was derived in terms of mean crush forces and energy absorptions for principal crushable structures and devices. The derived conceptual design was evaluated and improved using one dimensional dynamic simulations for the bar-spring-damper-mass model. It is shown from the simulation results that the suggested conceptual design can easily satisfy domestic crashworthiness requirements.

This paper addresses development of the conceptual design program of satellite communication system. A database for more than 200 small satellites of LEO which are between 10kg and 200kg was constructed to conduct a sequential process of conceptual design. General parameters based on the database were derived to be able to use for initial design of satellite communication system. The general conceptual design process developed and programed in this work is applicable to micro-class small satellites without regard to mission types. This conceptual design algorithm is consisted of five sequential steps, in which various parameters are defined every phase. These parameters are utilized for conceptual design through database analysis. The validity of an entire design algorithm has been demonstrated via program simulation.
