In this experimental study, the dynamic stability derivatives of a tailless lambda-shape UAV are estimated from time history data of aerodynamic moments measured from the internal balance while the test model is forced to oscillate at given frequencies and amplitudes. A 3-axis forced oscillation apparatus is designed to induce decoupled roll, yaw, pitch oscillations respectively. The results show that the roll damping derivatives remain stable at the entire range of angle of attack tested, whereas the pitch damping derivatives become unstable beyond $15^{\circ}$ angle of attack. The amplitude and frequency have little impact on roll damping derivatives while the smaller amplitude and frequency of oscillation improves the pitch stability. The yaw damping derivative values are fairly small as expected for a tailless configuration. The results indicate that the proposed methodology and test apparatus area valid for estimating the dynamic stability derivatives of a tailless UAV.

It is required to design the RF link with sufficiently stable signal margin to minimize bit errors and improve the quality of received data in the telemetry system modulated digitally like PCM/FM. In case of the vehicle flying at a high speed, the variation of the gain pattern between transmitting and receiving antenna and the fee space loss due to flight distance cause the fluctuation of link. In this paper, KSR(Korea Sounding Rocket)- III, the first domestic liquid rocket which was successfully launched in Nov. 2002 is introduced. The SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) variation of the telemetry signal which was measured at S-band ground station, the one which was simulated considering the flight trajectory, and the attitude variation such as roll, pitch and yaw are compared, analyzed, and agree very well. In addition, two virtual flying situations are simulated and evaluated-only one antenna is equipped in one case, and rocket is roll-free in the other.

The third stage of the KSLV-II is equipped with the reaction control system that performs three axis-control during non-thrust coasting phase and performs a roll axis control during thrust phase. Toxic propellants such as hydrazine have been used for conventional rocket propulsions, however, recently, more studies have been conducted on the use of non-toxic eco-friendly propellants such as ADN and HAN. Especially, hydrogen peroxide has received a growing focus as an emerging propellant. It is considered an alternative of the toxic propellants because of economic advantage in producing the system, conducting operation test, and evaluation of the test result. In this paper, we describes the design, prototype, testing and evaluation of the test results with the 50 N-level hydrogen peroxide monopropellant thruster system which is currently under development.

The flight control system utilize RSS(Relaxed Static Stability) criteria in both longitudinal axes to achieve performance enhancements and improve stability. The aircraft using digital flight-by-wire flight control system receives aircraft flight conditions such as pitch, roll and yaw rate, normal acceleration from RSA(Rate Sensor Assembly) and ASA(Acceleration Sensor Assembly). These sensors has permissible measurement error related to system safety of an aircraft but, unexpected flight motions are happened by sensing errors such as offset, noise and etc. The unexpected pitch down tendency occurred by ASA sensor bias in 1g level flight with pilot hands-off. This paper addresses the design and verification of flight control law to improve of pitch down or up tendency caused by ASA sensor bias. The result of analysis and flight test reveals that pitch down tendency can be improved by pitch attitude feedback system.

In this paper, a new type of electric wheelbarrow is proposed and developed. The developed electric wheelbarrow is equipped with an attitude reference system(ARS) sensor, which consists of 3-axis acceleration sensor and 2-axis Gyro sensor so that it can estimate pitch angle and roll angle. When an operator tilts the wheelbarrow up and down, the pitch angle is detected. The sign of the pitch angle is interpreted as the operator's intention for moving the wheelbarrow forward or backward and the controller drives the wheel of the wheelbarrow with the velocity according to the magnitude of the detected pitch angle. A cargo box of the wheelbarrow is designed to rotate and is controlled to maintain level always, so an operator can handle the electric wheelbarrow easily and safely. The wheelbarrow consists of an in-wheel motor, a DC motor, motor drives, an ARS sensor considering economical use in industrial field. Three experiments are performed to verify the feasibility and stability of the electric wheelbarrow.

The KSR-III rocket is a liquid propellant sounding rocket and thrust vector control actuators and cold gas thrusters are used to control pitch and yaw, roll attitude respectively during thrusting phase. In this paper, the structure of designed attitude controller and gain scheduling, results of stability analysis for KSR-III rocket are presented. The attitude controller is implemented with flight software in the domestically developed INS and successfully performed its function in the flight test. The flight data are coincident with simulation results.

미사일의 표적 충돌각을 원하는 각도로 제어하는 것은 표적의 취약점을 공략하기 위해 필수적인 기술이다. 표적 타격 지점 및 충돌각을 고려하지 않으면 타격에 성공하였다고 하더라도 표적의 방어 능력이 좋거나 신관이 충돌각에 민감하면 표적의 효과적인 파괴에 실패할 수도 있다. 이런 경우 유도 미사일의 종말 유도 효율을 증가시키기 위해 미사일이 표적을 타격하는 각도인 표적 충돌각(Impact Angle)을 제어할 수 있으면 적정 비행경로의 설정에 유리하고 우회공격 등이 가능할 뿐 아니라 미사일 탄두의 효과를 극대화할 수 있다. 하지만 이러한 장점을 갖는 표적 충돌각 유도 기법에 대한 연구는 아직 활발하게 행해지고 있지는 못하다. 기존 연구 결과들은 2차원 평면상에서의 충돌각 제어만을 다루고 있어, 요와 피치 채널의 커플링 문제가 있는 BTT 미사일에 적용하기가 어렵다는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 또한 미사일 동역학을 무시하거나 단순화하여 문제를 풀고 있기 때문에 실제 상황에 적용이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 공간상에서의 롤 명령을 모두 포함하면서 동시에 미사일 자동조종제어기, 핀 구동기 동역학을 모두 고려한 새로운 BTT 미사일의 표적 충돌각 유도 기법을 제안한다.

Nowadays, CMG(Control Moment Gyros) becomes one of the essential actuators for satellite attitude control. The method to define the key requirements of CMG is suggested to avoid CMG's singularity problem for the limited envelope of angular momentum of 2H. Furthermore, the analysis and simulation are carried out to provide a necessary guideline when three CMGs are used for spacecraft control purpose. An improved configuration of redundant four CMG cluster, slightly different from the conventional configuration, is proposed not only to avoid the CMG singularity problem, but to improve agility about roll or pitch-axis.

본 논문에서는 쿼드콥터 드론의 충돌방지를 위한 효율적인 자동제어 방법을 제안한다. 이 제어방법은 RC 조종기에서 노브를 이용하여 사용자가 제어하는 신호를 쿼드콥터의 리시버단에서 수신한 뒤 출력되는 PWM 신호들 중에서 쓰로틀, 피치, 롤 제어정보를 필요시 변경하는 방법으로 충돌을 방지한다. 충돌을 예측하기 위해서 전후, 좌우, 상하 6방향에 레이저 거리측정센서를 장착하고 주기적으로 거리를 측정한다. 그리고 측정 거리를 이용하여 장애물 유무를 판정하고 충돌이 예상되면 수신된 PWM 신호를 변경하여 쿼드콥터의 비행제어부로 전달함으로써 충돌을 방지하도록 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 충돌방지 방법을 쿼드콥터에 적용하여 실험을 통해 검증한 결과, 조종자 부주의 혹은 조종 미숙으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 충돌을 방지할 수 있어 안전성이 향상됨을 보였다.

Magnetic disturbance is one of the main factors that deteriorate the accuracy of orientation estimation methods based on inertial/magnetic sensor signals. This paper proposes a parallel Kalman filter(KF) that explicitly detects magnetic disturbances and thus can accurately estimate 3D orientation in magnetically disturbed environments. Due to the parallel nature of the proposed KF, even severe magnetic disturbances only affect yaw estimation, while roll and pitch values remain accurate. Consequently, the proposed KF can be effectively used in various applications that involve magnetically inhomogeneous environments, such as robots, ships, and planes.
