고고도 장기체공 무인기는 일반적인 무인기와 달리 고고도에서의 환경과 장시간의 체공에 따른 위험도가 높을 수밖에 없다. 따라서 신뢰도를 높이기 위한 다양한 방안을 강구해야 한다. 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나가 비행제어시스템이며, 본 논문에서는 비행제어시스템의 이중화에 따른 설계결과와 비행시험결과를 기술하였다.

The KC-100 has completed civil type certification with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, and is currently under development as an unmanned aerial vehicle as part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. The Certification Technology of small Unmanned Airplane system (CTsUA system), which is an unmanned KC-100, is being developed to enable the installation of heavy-duty mission equipment and long-time flight missions. This study investigated the process and results of analyzing various parameters such as aircraft weight, airspeed, flight altitude, required horsepower, and fuel consumption at each stage to construct a mission profile based on the operational concept of the CTsUA system. To maintain a maximum take-off weight of 3,600 lbs (1,633 kg), the analysis determined that the weight of the application equipment for the unmanned system should be kept below 80 lbs (36 kg).

The reliability of flight control system(FCS) for Unmanned Air Vehicle(UAV) is underestimated because of the design restrictions such as small size, low cost and light weight. However because the failure of FCS may cause the loss of aircraft, the reliability of FCS must be analysed and validated whether it meet the reliability requirements in design phase.In this paper the failure rate of subsystems was divided with its function based on the design experience of FCS. The redundancy models which satisfy the system reliability requirements were suggested. These results may be utilized in the hardware design of FCS.

Flight control computer of tiltrotor UAV was designed by redundancy system with primary and secondary channels to improve reliability. The redundancy functions consist of channel switching and data recovery. The channel switching function consists of software method by using cross channel data link and hardware method by using watchdog timer. The data recovery is the function to maintain flight condition when the flight control computer is restarted exceptionally in operation. The redundancy system was verified by flight control computer bench test, system integration test and HILS test. This paper describes the redundancy function of tiltrotor UAV flight control computer and test-verification method.

본논문에서는 산업용 드론개발을 위한 안정성 향상에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존의 비행체의 경우 고신뢰도 대용량의 제어시스템을 이용하여 비행제어시스템을 구성하지만 무인 비행체는 소형 내장형시스템을 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 소형 무인 비행체에서 사용하는 소형 내장형 비행제어시스템에서 안정성을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 비행제어신호와 모터의 제어신호를 측정하여 안정상태와 이상상태를 구별한다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 비행제어시스템을 수정하지 않고 비행제어시스템의 감시가 가능 할 것으로 예상한다.

In this paper, we propose a method to a synchronization of chaotic UAVs(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that have unstable limit cycles in a chaos trajectory surface. We assume all obstacles in the chaos trajectory surface have a Van der Pol equation with an unstable limit cycle. The proposed methods are assumed that if one of two chaotic UAVs receives the synchronization command, the other UAV also follows the same trajectory during the chaotic UAVs search on the arbitrary surface.

Since the flight control computer of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a flight critical equipment, it is necessary to ensure reliability and safety from the development step, and a redundancy-based fault management design is required in order to operate normally even a failure occurs. To reduce cost, weight and power consumption, the dual-redundant flight control system design is considered in UAV. However, there are various restrictions on the fault management design. In this paper, we propose the fault detection and isolation designs for the dual-redundant flight control computer to satisfy the safety requirements of an UAV. In addition, the flight control computer developed by applying the fault management design performed functional tests in the integrated test environment, and after performing FMET in the HILS, its reliability was verified through flight tests.

To design a control law of an aircraft, an accurate aircraft dynamic model is required. To obtain an aerodynamic database (DB) to build a dynamic model, a large number of wind tunnel tests are typically required. However, when flight test data of target aircraft exist such as in the process of unmanned conversion of a manned aircraft, an aircraft dynamic model can be obtained through a parameter estimation method and a DB tuning procedure. This paper describes a nonlinear model construction process and a verification method for KC-100 OPV aircraft. Flight data compatibility analysis was performed to determine suitability of the estimation method application. Linear model estimation was performed using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Results of aerodynamic DB tuning process and verification applying the FFS standard to the nonlinear model constructed are presented.
