This paper provides the basic data of low-altitude small drone management technology to solve the problem of drone's dysfunction that generally increases with the demand of the drone. Accordingly, various low-altitude small drone identification technology employed in many countries were investigated and analyzed. Herein, the research cases which have been developed to obtain diverse information such as the flight's plan, pilot's identity and contact number, and the flight's information such as the location and speed of small drones were mainly investigated. Furthermore, the list of the features of each case was analyzed. Moreover, the present paper suggests a drone identification system configuration which complements the problems of existing technologies and verifies the proposed system through a flight test.

최근 무인 항공 기술의 발전과 함께 드론의 상업적 활용이 가속화되고 있다. 산업계 및 학계에서는 인공지능, 사물인터넷 등 지능정보기술을 활용하여 드론 응용에 자율 비행을 적용하고자 노력하고 있지만 해결되지 못한 문제들이 산적해 있다. 그러므로 완전 자율 비행은 아니지만, 드론 조종에 경험이 없는 비전문가도 드론을 용이하게 조정할 수 있는 반자동 방식의 비행 제어를 채택한 드론 응용이 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실내환경에서 정찰 임무 수행을 위한 반자동 비행 조종 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 교차로 지점마다 사용자에게 이동 방향을 선택할 기회를 제공하고 교차로 간 일정한 속도 및 벽면과의 일정한 간격으로 자율비행하도록 제어한다. 또한, 실내 측위 기술인 ORB-SLAM 알고리즘을 이용하여 드론이 실내 공간 및 자신의 위치를 파악하도록 한다.

Recently, with the introduction of drones, a core technology of the 4th industrial revolution, various convergence education using drones is being conducted in school education sites. In particular, drone theory and practice education is being conducted in connection with free semester classes and career exploration. The drone convergence education program has higher learner satisfaction than simple demonstration and practice education, and the learning effect is high due to direct practical experience. However, since practical education is being conducted for a large number of learners, it is impossible to restrict and control the flight of a large number of drones in a limited place. In this paper, we propose a monitoring system that allows the instructor to monitor multiple drones in real time and learners to recognize collisions between drones in advance when multiple drones are operated, focusing on education operated in schools. The communication module used in the experiment was equipped with GPS in Murata LoRa, and the server and client were configured to enable monitoring based on the location data received in real time. The performance of the proposed system was evaluated in an open space, and it was confirmed that the communication signal was good up to a distance of about 120m. In other words, it was confirmed that 25 educational drones can be controlled within a range of 240m and the instructor can monitor them.

The C-band omni-directional antenna for drone control is mounted on the top or bottom and used to configure the communication link. The communication link is affected by the LOS depending on the mounting position of the omni-directional antenna. In this paper, two kinds of embedded antennas were designed with a commercial simulation tool CST MWS, and EM analysis was performed to consider the mounting environment. Also, we propose the PTMP ground antenna to control a large number of drones. The ground antenna has a communication link of 30km, and it consists of four sector antennas in the horizontal direction and one directional antenna at the top.

군사용 목적으로 개발된 드론(drone)이 오픈소스로 시장을 형성하면서 급성장하여 우체국의 택배 시스템에 적용을 한다는 발표[10]를 보면 국가 신성장 동력으로 발전 가능성에 대하여 기대하고 있는 실정이다. 언론과 산업계에서 드론이 모든 것을 대체할 것이라고 인식되면서 기술의 한계점은 흐려지고 있다. 세계 시장에서는 중국의 DJI를 선두로 급속히 성장하고 있지만 규제 목소리 또한 만만치 않은 실정이다. 플랫폼 기업인 구글이나 페이스북 아마존 등에서는 드론을 적용[3]하기 시작하였지만 넘어야 할 산은 많은 것이 현실이다. 이러한 드론 기술의 수준과 해결 과제를 살펴보고 드론이란 무엇이며 국내외 동향을 살펴본다.

드론 산업의 급속한 성장과 함께, 드론 펌웨어에 대한 보안이 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 드론 펌웨어를 보호하기 위한 효과적인 방법 중 하나로 소프트웨어 난독화 기술을 제안한다. 난독화 기법은 소스 코드나 바이너리를 의도적으로 복잡하게 변형시켜, 외부의 불법적인 분석 및 변조를 어렵게 만드는 방법이다. 이 연구는 드론 펌웨어에 대해 난독화 기법을 적용하고, 그 효과를 평가함으로써 드론 시스템의 보안 강화에 기여하고자 한다.

The Purpose of this study is to present effective Anti-Drone systems to protect national important facilities against drones that are illegally used by crime groups and terrorists with malicious intents. In order to accomplish the purpose of the study, technical and policy reports regarding Anti-Drone systems, open documents from manufacturers and various research papers are reviewed, and in-depth interviews with experts were conducted. Studies have shown that it is effective to overlay and mix different detection systems so that they can improve detection rates by supplementing each other's advantages and disadvantages, and that the means of incapacitation need to acquire flexibility by using both soft-kill and hard-kill methods in accordance with operational environment for the effective usage. In other words, the establishment of an illegal drone pre-management system, mixed and overlapping detection assets, determining appropriate countermeasures, and multiple distribution of means of incapacitation. The establishment of a protection system for important national facilities through the operation of overlapping and complex anti-drone systems is the most urgent task.

Recently, the interest in hobby/leisure drones is increasing in the private sector, and the military also uses drones in various countries such as North Korea, the United States, and Iran for military purposes such as reconnaissance and destruction. A variety of drone related research is underway, such as establishing and operating drone units within the Korean military. Inparticular, recently, as the size of drone flight control source code increases and the number of functions increases, drone developers are getting accustomed to using open sources and using them without checking for separate security vulnerabilities. However, since these open sources are actually accessible to attackers, they are inevitably exposed to various vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose an attack scenario for military drones using open sources in connection with these vulnerabilities using Telemetry Hijacking techniques.

In recent years, human damage and loss of money due to various disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, forest fires, landslides, and wars are steadily occurring, and a lot of manpower and funds are required to prevent and recover them. In this paper, we designed and developed a disaster drone system based on artificial intelligence in order to monitor these various disaster situations in advance and to quickly recognize and respond to disaster occurrence. In this study, multiple disaster drones are used in areas where it is difficult for humans to monitor, and each drone performs an efficient search with an optimal path by applying a deep learning-based optimal path algorithm. In addition, in order to solve the problem of insufficient battery capacity, which is a fundamental problem of drones, the optimal route of each drone is determined using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technology. In order to implement the proposed system, it was applied to a forest fire situation among various disaster situations, and a forest fire map was created based on the transmitted data, and a forest fire map was visually shown to the fire fighters dispatched by a drone equipped with a beam projector. In the proposed system, multiple drones can detect a disaster situation in a short time by simultaneously performing optimal path search and object recognition. Based on this research, it can be used to build disaster drone infrastructure, search for victims (sea, mountain, jungle), self-extinguishing fire using drones, and security drones.
