One of the frequent problems in the stabilized gimbal system is the rejection of disturbances associated with moving components. Very often such disturbances have non-linear characteristics. In a typical gimbal system, each gimbal and platform are connected by a mutual bearing which induces inevitable friction. Particularly, the non-linear Coulomb friction causes position errors as well as slow responses that lead to unfavorable performance. In this paper, a modified PID controller that is augmented by Coulomb friction estimator is presented. Through constantly estimating the Coulomb friction torque, it is applied to the output of the existing PID controller. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is evaluated through a series of experiments.

CPS(Cyber-Physical Systems)는 고수준의 신뢰성을 기반으로 네트워크를 통해 물리 시스템을 실시간 제어하기 위한 임베디드 시스템이며 무인 주차, 항공, 스마트 그리드와 같이 다양한 의료, 군사, 교통, 로봇제어 분야에 활용 가능한 기술이다. 이러한 환경에서 시스템들 간의 실시간적이고 신뢰성 높은 데이터 통신을 제공하기 위하여 발행/구독 모델에 기반한 실시간 데이터 통신 미들웨어 표준인 DDS(Data Distribution Service)를 사용한다. 그러나, DDS는 임베디드 기기 또는 모바일 기기들이 동적으로 구성된 네트워크에 자유로운 참여, 탈퇴가 가능한 상황에서 실시간 데이터 통신에는 적합하지만 전송되는 데이터 도청, 재전송 등과 같은 다양한 네트워크 공격에는 취약하다. 따라서, 본 고에서는 DDS 보안상의 취약점과 보안강화를 위한 접근 방법에 대해 기술하고, 이후에 DDS 통신채널 보호를 위한 상용제품의 접근법과 안전 통신채널 제공을 위한 멀티캐스트 인증, 암호화에 관련된 접근방법에 대해 기술한다.

An application case of systems engineering (SE) processes for the small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) development project, which was funded by the Korean government during June 2017 ~ August 2020, is briefly presented in this paper. From the beginning to the end of the project, SE processes had been applied and managed by simple and intuitive aspects for the small/medium business companies joined with insufficient experiences of SE. And the specific considerations of the processes were focused to the missions of disaster and public safety purposes required from the government, such as identification, patrol, fire, rescue, etc. As a result, the project applied by the tailored SE processes had been rated of a good and higher accomplishment on the final evaluation, and then the related several programs were prepared successively for the other opportunities.

According to lessons learned from an accident of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, it is advisable to make a comprehensive radiation survey by the accident phase for efficient response and risk management using diverse survey platforms. This study focuses on the technical status of environmental radiation monitoring using a UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) and the performance test of developed aerial survey system based on two detectors with an high energy resolution through the field application to contaminated areas. Finally, the performance of aerial survey at diverse flight heights was successfully achieved by introducing the correction factor to represent the results into ambient dose rate at 1m above the ground.

This paper proposed lightweight aluminum bipolar plates as an alternative for conventional graphite bipolar plates in fuel cell systems used as a power source for small reconnaissance UAVs. Since bipolar plates occupy more than 80% of the total weight of the fuel cell system, lightweight aluminum bipolar plates can improve the overall payload and flight time of the fuel cell UAV. The aluminum and graphite bipolar plates were fabricated to compare the performance of each of them. A 15% higher performance per weight was obtained from aluminum bipolar plates than the graphite bipolar plates. Also, the performance of a single cell using aluminum bipolar plates was evaluated under various operating conditions.

In order to suggest the optimal manufacturing technology of composite wings of solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles, this study compared forming technologies to reduce wing weight for long-endurance flight and to improve the manufacturing process for cost-saving and mass production. It compared the manufacturing time and weight of various composite wing molding technologies, including cocuring, secondary bonding, and manufacturing by balsa. As a result, wing weight was reduced through cocuring methods such as band type composite fiber/tape lamination technology, which enabled prolonged flight duration. In addition, the reduced manufacturing time led to a lower cost, which is a good example of weight lightening for not only small solar-powered UAVs, but also composite aircraft.

When a helicopter lands on a ship deck in high sea states, one of main difficulties is the ship motion by sea wave, In case of a manned helicopter, a pilot lands a helicopter on the deck during quiescent period of ship motion, which is perceived from different visual cues around landing spot. The capability to predict this quiescent period is very important especially for shipboard recovery of VTOL UAV in harsh environments. This paper describes how to predict heave motion of a ship for shipboard landing of a VTOL UAV. For simulation, ship motion by sea wave was generated using a 4,000 ton class US destroyer model. Heave motion of ship deck was predicted by applying auto-regression method to generated time series data of ship motion.

In this study, we peformed optimal design of a composite skid landing gear, one of the solid spring shock absorbers, for light vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Although a solid spring type has poor energy dissipation capability, it is commonly used for light aircraft where sink speeds are low and shock absorption is non-critical in terms of simplicity, low cost and weight reduction. In this paper, design parameters of solid spring such as sink speed, gear leg length, deflection and landing load factor were reviewed. In order to meet structural requirements such as deflection and strength, finally, we conducted optimal design of the composite skid landing gear for VTOL UAV using genetic algorithm and pattern search algorithm.

Satellite and aircraft components are greatly affected by the possibility for missions and safety due to temperature effects. In the field of fuel cells, research is actively carried out for UAV. For the efficiency and stability of the fuel cells, the temperature for operations must be confirmed. In this paper, a smart paint was fabricated with $BaTiO_3$ and $SrTiO_3$ ceramics in order to take advantage of the rapid characteristics of the PTC thermistor, which is the resistance changes abruptly above the Curie point. A coating agent was prepared to prevent the paint from peeling off the samples and the coated models were checked for resistance changes. Moreover, the resistance change of the $BaTiO_3$ and $SrTiO_3$ with temperature conditions was measured before and after coating.
