A new test bench for small multi-rotor type drones has been developed. Six degrees of freedom (DOF) motion is possible due to a ball bushing, wheels, and rotating plates. An FPGA (field programmable gate array) based controller, that supports realtime parallel processing, is used to measure attitude with an accelerometer and a gyro to adjust motor speed. Several tests were performed to check the operational properties of the test bench and the controller. The results show that this test bench is proper for verifying controllers and the control methods of small multi-rotor drones.

드론에서 고도유지 비행을 위해 정확한 고도 측정이 필요하다. 고도 측정을 위해 많이 사용되는 가속도센서는 변화에 민감하여 거리 측정에 적합하지만 적분 오차가 누적되어 거리 측정값이 발산한다. 또한 드론 비행 시 드론에서 발생하는 진동을 드론의 고도 변화로 잘못 인지하는 문제가 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 상용화된 드론이나 기존 연구들은 가속도센서를 기반으로 다른 센서나 장치를 추가하여 고도 측정을 하지만 실제 비행 시 고도의 오차가 나타난다. 또한 센서 값들의 연산처리가 많아져 고도 측정 속도가 지연될 우려가 있다. 따라서 다른 센서나 장치를 추가하지 않고 드론의 특성을 고려한 보다 정확한 고도 측정 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 가속도센서를 이용하여 드론 비행 특성을 고려하는 고도 측정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험으로 제안 알고리즘을 수행하여 드론 비행 시 고도 측정의 정확성이 향상됨을 보인다.

Recently, As the interest of the drone has increased the fields such as broadcasting, disaster site and leisure which uses the drone has been constantly expanded. However, an invasion of a person's privacy and a threat of hacking attack also have increased as population of drone. High-resolution cameras mounted on drones can take a photo or real-time video anytime and anywhere. It causes the invasion of privacy from private houses, buildings, and hotels. In this paper, we perform a security vulnerability assessment tests on the camera's from common commercial drones and we propose the countermeasures to protect the drones against unauthorized attacker who attempts to access the drone's camera from internal or external. Through this research, we expect the Aviation Act and legislation accept the concept of security and provide the polices such as drones equipped with security devices from the production stage to promote drone industry.

In this study, we proposed an efficient model that can detect and classify the drones and related devices based on radio frequency signals. In order to increase the applicability in the battlefield, proposed model was designed to be lightweight, to ensure rapid detection and high detection accuracy. Data preprocessing was performed by applying a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) that is faster than Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT). We adopted the LightGBM model as the learning model, which can be easily used by non-professionals and guarantees excellent performance in terms of classification speed and accuracy. CardRF dataset was used to verify the performance of the proposed model. As a result of the experiment, the accuracy of 3 classes classification for detecting and classifying drones, WiFi, and Bluetooth device was 99.63% when the number of sample points was set to 100k and 99.40% when set to 500k during the data preprocessing with DFT. And, in the 10 classes classification for 6 drones, 2 Bluetooth devices, and 2 WiFi devices, the accuracy was 95.65% for 100k and 96.83% for 500k, confirming significantly improved detection performance compared to previous studies.

본 연구에서는 부력조형물이 정해진 위치에서 사용자가 원하는 자세를 유지할 수 있는 시스템을 연구하였다. 기존의 부력조형물은 로프를 이용한 고정식이었지만 본 기술이 적용된 부력조형물은 로프 없이 스스로 부력에 의한 공중부양과 사용자가 원하는 자세를 취할 수가 있도록 구성하였다. 이러한 시스템은 주로 홍보용으로 널리 사용되며 박람회, 제품 설명회, 지역축제, 예술 등 많은 분야에 적용이 가능하다. 부력조형물이 자세를 유지하기 위하여 드론 기술에 적용되는 IMU 센서를 이용한 방향과 자세정보와 6개의 BLDC 모터에 8인치 프로펠러를 접합시켜 부력조형물이 상하좌우로 이동이 가능하도록 자세 제어장치를 구성하였으며 실험을 통하여 시스템의 검증하였다.

Many plane, UAV and drone fly in the sky as development of aviation industry. Plane and UAV fly and drone's propellers rotate so fast. Impact between flying objects which have high velocity threats passengers. Also the impact damages people, building and various property. Plane's operating speed is near sound velocity(340m/s), and propeller's rotating speed is less than that. Until now, impact experiment uses gas gun to get speed and the gun needs large space to entirely air expansion. Electromagnetic launcher, especially railgun, needs smaller space than gas gun to get enough speed about 500m/s. This paper explains electromagnetic launcher's operating principle, shows making electromagnetic launcher design guide line and suggests that it is a better apparatus to get low-high velocity.

We propose a capture mechanism based on the principles of fishing nets that can be mounted on the drone using cable. The gripper mechanism, mainly proposed for the drone is heavy, and is limited to catch standardized objects. In contrast, the proposed capture device in this paper is light, flexible, and can capture various types of objects from a long distance. The theoretical relationships between cables and mechanisms were analyzed. Finally, the capture device was designed and manufactured to be installed in the drone (DJI S900) to conduct capturing experiments for various objects and verify the validity.

Recently, as unmanned aerial vehicle technology such as drones has developed, there are many environmental, social and economic benefits, but if there is malicious intent against important national facilities such as airports, public institutions, power plants, and the military, it can seriously affect national safety and people's lives. It can cause damage. To respond to these drone threats, attempts are being made to introduce detection equipment such as RF scanners. In particular, power transmission towers installed in substations, power plants, and Korea's power system can affect detection performance if the transmission tower is located in the RF scanner detection path. In the experiment, a commercial drone was used to measure the signal intensity emitted from the drone and confirm the attenuation rate. The average and maximum attenuation rates showed similar trends in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, and were also affected by the density of the structure.

In this paper, the test facility for coaxial propellers at low Reynolds developed and validated by measured data. The test equipment was designed to measure the hovering performance of propellers according to distances between the upper/lower propellers. Thrust, torque, rotational speed, vibration, and amperage of upper and lower propellers can be measured separately. The data acquisition system was built to collect signals of sensors, and LabVIEW software was used to control the motor and collect the signal. The hover performance tests of single propellers were preceded for the facility validation, and then the performance values of coaxial propellers were measured according to distances and diameter differences between the upper/lower propellers. The results showed that the high efficiency is achieved at 20%~30% distance between the upper propeller and lower one. The configuration that the upper propeller has shorter diameter than the lower one has the highest efficiency than other configuration.
