무인항공기는 일반 유인항공기와는 다르게 크기의 제한이 없다. 또한 작은 사이즈의 무인항공기는 적은 인원의 투입으로도 항공기 각 분야의 검증이 가능하므로 소형화된 무인기는 여러 회사 및 연구원 학교등에서 개발되고 있다. 항공기의 크기가 작아지게 되면 운영요원의 숫자 또한 작아지게 되고 이로 인하여 쉽게 이동이 가능하고 운영이 가능한 이동형 무인항공기 지상통제 시스템의 요구가 생기게 된다. 본 논문에서는 한국항공주우연구원의 소형 무인기를 운영하기 위해 개발한 이동형 무인항공기 지상관제 시스템에 관하여 기술 하였다.

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.

The uses of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been expanding in agriculture surveys, obtaining real time updates of dangerous facilities where human access is difficult, disaster monitoring, and 3D modeling. In reality, there is an upsurge in the application of UAVs in fields like, construction, infrastructure, imaging, surveying, surveillance and transportation. Especially, when the slope failure such as landslide occurs, the uses of UAVs are increasing. Since, the UAVs can fly in three dimensions, they are able to obtain spatial data in places where human access is nearly impossible. Despite of these advantages, however, the uses of UAVs are still limited during slope failure. In order to overcome these limitations, this study computes the soil volume change during slope failure through the computation technique using photogrammetric information obtained from UAV system. Through this study, it was found that photogrammetric information from UAV can be used to acquire information on amount of earthworks required for repair works when slope collapse occurs in mountainous areas, where human access in difficult.

As the use of unmanned aerial vehicles increases, in order to expand the operability of the unmanned aerial vehicle, it is essential to develop an unmanned aerial vehicle traffic management system, and to establish the system, it is necessary to analyze the integrated navigation performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle to be operated. Integrated navigation performance is affected by various factors such as the type of unmanned aerial vehicle, flight environment, and guidance law algorithm. In addition, since a large amount of flight data is required to obtain high-reliability analysis results, efficient and consistent flight scenarios are required. In this paper, a flight scenario that satisfies the requirements for integrated navigation performance analysis of rotary and fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles was designed and verified through flight experiments.

In this paper, a global and local flight path system for autonomous flight of the UAV is proposed. The overall system is based on the ROS robot operating system. The UAV in-built computer detects obstacles through 2-D Lidar and generates real-time local path and global path based on VFH and Modified $RRT^*$-Smart, respectively. Additionally, a movement command is issued based on the generated path on the UAV flight controller. The ground station computer receives the obstacle information and generates a 2-D SLAM map, transmits the destination point to the embedded computer, and manages the state of the UAV. The autonomous UAV flight system of the is verified through a simulator and actual flight.

With the development of information and communication technology, the unmanned aerial vehicle industry began to attract attention as a new growth industry as it entered the fourth industrial revolution. As the size of the unmanned aerial vehicles and the scope of airspace vary from small drones to large unmanned aerial vehicles, the developed countries such as USA and Europe are developing plans for the integrated operation of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles. ICAO is also working on amendments to the relevant ICAO annexes to establish international standards and recommendations for unmanned aerial vehicles. Korea also needs to prepare for the integrated operation of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that will come in the future, and for this purpose, it is necessary to review and revise the national regulation systems for the safe operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. This study analyzes the amendments of related annexes discussed on the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) pannel, and suggests the direction of revision of the Aviation Safety Act for the safe operation of unmanned aerial vehicles in comparison with the existing Aviation Safety Act.

Domestic and foreign manufacturers are developing VTOL UASs in various shapes in line with demand for future technologies. UASs have been developed in a shape classified as fixed/rotary wing, and verified by appropriate certification standards. However, airworthiness certification of recent VTOL UASs is strict with the absence of VTOL-specific certification standards. In this paper, criteria applicable to VTOL UAS were presented through analysis of STANAG-4671 and STANAG-4702, which are certification standards for fixed/rotary wing UAS of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Special Condition for VTOL Aircraft (SC-VTOL) of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). For this, the categorization criteria of general/fixed-wing/VTOL characteristics were established for each standard item and utilized for analysis.
