The demand for safety certification of Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (LUAVs), weighing between 25kg and 150kg, is rapidly increasing in Korea. Unfortunately, the number of LUAV safety certification failures is also on the rise, with manufacturing quality issues being identified as the main culprit. However, there is a lack of quality system standards for manufacturers within the LUAV safety certification system. As a result, this paper aims to analyze the domestic safety certification system and the quality standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). The goal is to establish quality system inspection standards specifically tailored for LUAV manufacturers. To achieve this, we propose additional inspection items that reflect the characteristics of the manufacturing quality system. These items will be identified through on-site inspections of LUAV manufacturers, ensuring that the resulting quality system standard aligns with the actual situation of domestic manufacturers. In order to gauge the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed quality system standard, we conducted a survey of seven domestic LUAV manufacturers.

Recently, as the roles and utilization fields of UAV become more diverse, demand for high - level mission has been increasing. To solve this issue, researches on the operation of multiple small UAVs and related systems have been actively carried out. The multiple small UAVs based application system has a problem that the task complexity of control personnel increases because the control personnel must continuously control and manage several small UAVs. Hence, it is necessary to develop a software platform that can perform efficient control in order to employ a multiple small UAVs based application system successfully. In this paper, we propose an effective ground control software platform for application systems using multiple small UAVs. We first analyze the requirements for the software platform, and design and implement software based on the analysis. Simulation using the X-plane flight simulator shows that multiple flight data are effectively displayed and that the image data transmitted from many small UAVs are simultaneously displayed in real time.

최근의 생산시스템은 FMS,FMC와 같은 고도로 자동화된 무인시스템으로 운용되고 있으며, 생산성 향상을 위한 무인운전의 필요성이 증대되고 있으나, 숙련된 작업자를 대신하여 작업상태를 감시하는 신뢰성 있는 감시 시스템의 부족으로 인해 곤란을 겪고 있다.따라서 작업자를 대신할수 있는 신뢰성있는 감시 시스템의 개발을 필요로 한다. 특히 공구파손,공구마멸과 같은 공구손상은 공작물 및 기계에 치명적 손상을 초래하고, 기계정지시간을 증가시키므로 공구파손 검출과 공구마멸의 실시간 센싱은 가공 프로세스의 자동화와 신뢰성을 증가시키는데 가장 중요한 역활을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 드릴가공시 검출한 주축 및 Z축 모터전류를 기초로 하여 드릴마멸을 추정하는 모델을 개발하고자 한다.

항로표지는 선박의 안전한 항해를 도와주는 해상 교통에 매우 중요한 시설이다. 등대(무인등대, 등표)는 야간에 등화로 항로의 안전 수역과 암초 등 장애물의 위치를 표시하기 위하여 무인 섬이나 간출암 등에 설치하는 구조물이며, 해상이라는 특수적인 운용환경으로 인하여 높은 수준의 신뢰성과 안정성이 요구된다. 무인등대용 풍력발전기는 강한 바람에도 발전기가 파손 되지 않고 운영 될 수 있도록 내구성이 있어야 하나 설치운영 결과 해상의 기상악화, 돌풍, 해풍 등에 의한 잦은 파손 및 고장 발생으로 이에 대응할 수 있는 제품 개발이 필요하다.

This study presents a method to efficiently advance the Republic of Korea's Unmanned Systems through the analysis of the development of the U.S. Unmanned System Policy. After the occurrence of the September 11 attacks, the U.S. developed Unmanned Systems as a part of RMA and became the leader in this area. The system went through numerous trials and errors during the development and acquisition. From these experiences, the U.S. had embodied Unmanned Systems acquisition methods by establishing Unmanned Systems Development Guidance and DoD Autonomy Community of Interest in 2012. In addition, as diverse unmanned programs started to proceed, it promoted Core Technology development sharing and simplification of functions of the Unmanned Systems to exclude budget-wasting elements such as duplication of programs. The Republic of Korea must politically build a collaborative system between industry/academia/research institute/military and apply evolutionary development strategies from the first step of the development of the Unmanned Systems the future Game Changer. In operations, concepts of the Manned/Unmanned Systems complex operation should be established and intelligent S/W, Open System, and Cyber Security technologies to materialize them developed.

This paper is about a complex sensor system of an automatic guided vehicle(AGV) for loading and unloading payloads. For the AGV to approach to the target rack for loading and unloading the payload, a way to identify the position and orientation was studied. To identify the position and orientation of the AGV accurately, a complex sensor system composed of RFID, IMU, and limit sensors was developed, and the performance of each sensor was undertaken. A model AGV was constructed, and the good performance of the developed complex sensor system was verified through performance experiments.

An unattended recording system based on smartphone based image image tracking is rapidly developing. Among the existing products, a system that automatically tracks and rotates the object to be photographed using an infrared signal is very expensive for general users. Therefore, this paper proposes a mobile unattended recording system that enables automatic recording by anyone who uses a smartphone. The system consists of a commercial mobile camera, a servomotor that moves the camera from side to side, a microcontroller to control the motor, and a commercial wireless Bluetooth Earset for video audio input. In this paper, we designed a system that enables unattended recording through image tracking using smartphone.

In this paper, we present the results of a developed LTE/Wi-Fi-based video transmission system which can be applied in small unmanned aerial vehicles of 25kg or less. The developed video transmission system comprised of airborne datalink terminal, ground datalink terminal, and used LTE and Wi-Fi wireless data communication technologies to transmit videos of resolution higher than HD (720p/30fps, 1080p/30fps) taken by small UAV. The airborne device is designed to efficiently transmit real-time streaming video through the incorporation of H.264 video processing board. Ground tests and evaluation indicated the possibility of the developed system to transmit real-time videos from close distance in regards to non-line-of-sight area.

This paper describes the design of navigation system for an unmanned target drone which is operated by Korean army as for anti-air gun shooting training. Current target drone is operated by pilot control of on-board servo motor via remote control system. Automatic flight control system for the target drone greatly reduces work load of ground pilot and can increase application area of the drone. Most UAVs being operated nowdays use high-priced sensors as AHRS and IMU to measure the attitude, but those are costly. This paper introduces the development of low-cost automatic flight control system with low-cost sensors. The integrated automatic flight control system has been developed by integrating combining power module, switching module, monitoring module and RC receiver as an one module. The performance of navigation for low cost unmanned aerial vehicle, unmanned target drone as our test bed in this paper is verified by both Hardware in the loop simulation(HILS) to test performance of GPS as GPS output frequency high and results of flight test.
