Contrast to the 6-DOF nonlinear dynamic modeling of nonlinear tracking problem, 3-DOF point-mass modeling of flight mechanics is efficient and adequate for applying the trajectory optimization problem. There exist limitations to apply an optimal trajectory from point-mass modeling as a reference trajectory directly to conduct the nonlinear tracking control, In this paper, new matching trajectory optimization scheme is proposed to compensate those differences of mismatching. To verify performance of proposed method, full ascent three-dimensional flight trajectories are obtained by reflecting the real constraints of flight conditions and airship performance with and without jet stream condition. Then, they are compared with the optimal trajectories obtained from conventional method.

To obtain large scale precise geographical information in local area we determined external orientation parameters of camn exactly and conducted aerial photography using remote control airship loaded 35mm non-metric camera that produced systematic error coefficients. Ground control Points were determined by differential GPS. Therefore we can try to improve accuracy and economical efficiency. Also, it is suggested that remote control airship photogrammetry can be applied to make large scale topographic map using analytical plotter as calibrated accuracy.

자율운항선박, 무인선과 같이 전통적 선박 형태에 자율성이 부여되는 형태로의 발전과 함께 드론, 비행체 같은 비행 형태까지 포함하는 해상 모빌리티는 기존 통신 체계 대비 실시간성 향상 및 대용량 데이터 교환이 요구되는 새로운 해상 안전 운항 체계가 수반되어야 한다. 초고속해상무선통신망(LTE-Maritime) 송수신기를 장착한 국내 선박의 경우, LTE급의 통신 서비스를 연안 최대 100km까지 받을 수 있지만, 국제 항해를 하는 국적선과 외국적 선박을 포함하는 해상 모빌리티 안전 운항 체계 구축을 위해서는 VDES(VHF Data Exchange System)와 같은 국제협약에서 인정하고 해상이동서비스(Maritime Mobile Service)에 속하면서 기존보다 빠른 통신망의 보급이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 향후 해상 모빌리티 구현을 위해 필요한 해상무선통신망의 하나로 VDES의 필요성에 주목하여 그간의 개발 현황으로부터 향후 VDES 서비스 도입 및 활용방안에 관해 논한다.

In this paper, the optimum placement and shape of UHF antenna on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are analyzed by using the electromagnetic (EM) simulation on the various locations. The FEKO was used for the EM-simulation. In order to reduce the complexity of simulation and minimize the runtime and memory usage, the composite aircraft structure is simplified as the PEC model excluding the radome structure. The simulation was performed on the wing and ventral fin of UAV, and the antenna shape used the monopole, dipole, and bent monopole antennas. When the monopole antenna is mounted under the wing, two antennas need to be mounted under the right and left wings, and those antennas have to be switched as the direction of UAV wing to the line of sight (LOS) data-link (DL) ground antenna. In the case of mounting under the ventral fin, one antenna can be used regardless of the direction of UAV wing to the LOS DL ground antenna. Also, the antenna gain is improved by the blockage reduction. The antenna gain is further improved by using the bent monopole antenna. The optimum solution of UHF antenna placement and shape on UAV is to mount the bent monopole antenna under the ventral fin.

Recently, unmanned aircraft EM (electromagnetic) survey based on ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has been widely utilized because of the efficiency in regional survey. We performed the theoretical study on the unmanned airship EM system developed by KIGAM (Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral resources) as part of the practical application of unmanned aircraft EM survey. Since this system has different configurations of transmitting and receiving loops compared to the conventional aircraft EM systems, a new technique is required for the appropriate interpretation of measured responses. Therefore, we proposed a method to calculate the EM field for the arbitrary shaped transmitter and verified its validity through the comparison with analytic solution for circular loop. In addition, to simulate the magnetic responses by three-dimensionally (3D) distributed anomalies, we have adapted our algorithm to 3D frequency-domain EM modeling algorithm based on the edge-FEM (finite element method). Though the analysis on magnetic field responses from a subsurface anomaly, it was found that the response decreases as the depth of the anomaly increases or the flight altitude increases. Also, it was confirmed that the response became smaller as the resistivity of the anomaly increases. However, a nonlinear trend of the out-of-phase component is shown depending on the depth of the anomaly and the used frequency, that makes it difficult to apply simple analysis based on the mapping of the magnitude of the responses and can cause the non-uniqueness problem in calculating the apparent resistivity. Thus, it is a prerequisite to analyze the appropriate frequency band and flight altitude considering the purpose of the survey and the site conditions when conducting a survey using the unmanned aircraft EM system.

In the UAVs, the position error of the inertial navigation system is constantly increased when global positioning system goes wrong due to interference. It makes impossible to ensure mission and flight safety. If the data-link system provide the position of the UAV for inertial navigation system periodically, then the UAV may operate normally under malfunction of the global positioning system. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for estimating the position of the UAV using the monopulse tracking and distance measurement of the line-of-sight data-link system. Also, we propose a method to improve the performance of position estimation. And we assured ourselves that this method can be applied in the UAVs.
