최근 몇 년간 무인항공기(UAV) 시장이 점차 커지면서 군뿐만 아니라 민간, 상업적으로도 무인항공기의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 무인항공기의 한 종류인 에어드론(AR.Drone)을 활용한 실시간 원격 쿼드로터(Quadrotor) 퓨전제어기법을 제안하였다. 특히, 본 논문에서는 아이폰(i-phone) 기반의 제어기법이 아닌, 안드로이드(Android) 기반의 퓨전제어기법을 통하여 에어드론을 실시간으로 원격조정가능하게 했는데, 이는 아이폰 App 개발 시 제공되는 API와 PC 기반의 쿼드로터 제어기법을 퓨전하는 방식으로 쿼드로터의 비행제어와 영상처리를 분리시켜 기존의 방식보다 영상처리 속도를 향상시키는 방식이다. 그리고 제안된 퓨전제어기법의 우수성을 보여주기 위해, 기존의 방식들과 영상처리 속도를 비교분석하였다.

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.

There exist two major difficulties in developing flight control system: nonlinear dynamic characteristics and time-varying properties of parameters of aircraft. Instead of the difficulties, many high reliable and efficient control methodologies have been developed. But, most of the developed control systems are based on the exact mathematical modelling of aircraft and, in the absence of such a model, it is very difficult to derive performance, robustness and nominal stability. From these aspects, recently, some approaches to utilizing the intelligent control theories such as fuzzy logic control, neural network and genetic algorithm have appeared. In this paper, one advanced intelligent lateral control system of a high speed fight has been developed utilizing type-2 fuzzy logic, which can deduce the uncertainty problem of the conventional fuzzy logic. The results will be verified through computer simulation.

A modular platform development technique was proposed to minimize development cost and development period by utilizing the already developed unmanned Aerial target AVT, which has been operated and verified for many years. New Mission Profile was designed and structural analysis was performed through finite element analysis (FEA) by analyzing mission requirements for visual short-range, non-visible mid-range, and long-range targets. The targets are used for guided missile anti-aircraft training. In addition, avionics systems including flight control computers for autonomous flights were developed to verify their conformance by performing launcher take-off tests with rapid acceleration changes and autonomous flight tests at a maximum speed of 300km per hour.

Because rotorcraft is unstable, it needs a stability system such as flybar. Recently, sensor technology has been developed, it uses a stability augmentation system to improve stability instead of flybar. To use of these rotorcraft which include stability augmentations system for unmanned system, flight control computer, include stability augmentations system function, must be required. In this paper, a reverse-engineering method of estimating Algorithm of Commercial Stability Augmentation System is proposed, the result is applied in the flight computer to make an unmanned rotorcraft system. Finally using a validated algorithm, it is possible to establish a system of unmanned automatic rotorcraft system.

The flight control of aircraft, which has nonlinear time-varying dynamic characteristics depending on the various and unexpected external conditions, can be performed on two motions: longitudinal motion and lateral motion. In the longitudinal motion control of aircraft, pitch and trust are major control parameters and roll and yaw are control ones in the lateral motion control. Until now, a number of efficient and reliable control schemes that can guarantee the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft have been developed. Recently, the intelligent flight control scheme, which differs from the conventional control strategy requiring the various and complicate procedures such as the wind tunnel and environmental experiments, has attracted attention. In this paper, an intelligent longitudinal control scheme has been proposed utilizing Interval Type-2 fuzzy logic which can be recognized as a representative intelligent control methodology. The results will be verified through computer simulation with a F-4 jet fighter.

Recently, UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) has evolved into various figure and become miniaturized. On using existing design method, it is hard to make modelling and standardizing design of flight control system of the figure including cylinder like pipe. These problems are caused by uncorrect express of nonlinearity in controller design. Therefore, it is developed through step of correct modelling and simulation on real time sing high efficiency computer in aircraft development of various figure. This is reducing period and expense of aircraft development. For the shake of solving these problems, in-design method has been devised by H.M. Wang. In this paper, an object of control is cylindrical UAV instead of the general figure of aircraft. It was analyzed flight condition, specification about level flight of the UAV and was presented algorithm to find control value.

This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated system scheme for a UAV and presents experimental flight test results. The proposed system is designed as a part of an autopilot system and comprises a GPS attitude determination receiver, an off-the-shelf inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a navigation computer unit (NCU). UAV requires accurate attitude information for stable automatic flight control. The proposed system can provide accurate attitude information for the flight control computer (FCC) so that stable automatic flight control can be achieved. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, an integrated navigation system has been developed. In order to evaluate the developed navigation system, the flight test has been performed. In the flight test, the developed system was shown to provide the position, the velocity and the attitude satisfactorily enough for stable flight control. The accuracy of the attitude information of the developed system was confirmed by comparing attitude of vertical gyro.

As seen in the case of the Boeing 737 Max accident, the proportion of aircraft software is rapidly increasing. However, it is vulnerable to safety issues. In case of domestic aircraft software, to operate a Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (LUAV) less than an empty weight of 150 kg, safety certification is required for an Ultra-Light Vehicle (ULV). However, software certification procedure is not included. Since the use of LUAVs has increased recently, software verification is required. This paper proposed a checklist of LUAV software that could be applied to LUAV referring DO-178C, an aviation software certification standard. A case study of applying the proposed checklist to the Model-based Development-based Helicopter Flight Control Computer (FCC) project currently used by domestic and foreign advanced companies and institutions was conducted.
