Among the activities of 3GPP for operating 5G-based unmanned aerial vehicles, we introduce several use cases of UAVs in 5G mobile communication such as radio access node onboard UAV, simultaneous support data transmission for UAVs and eMBB users, autonomous UAVs controlled by AI, isolated deployment of radio access through UAV, and separation of UAV service area. From this, we further summarize 5G mobile communication requirements for UAVs, including definition and operational criteria of UAS, UAS remote identification requirements, UAS usage requirements, and performance requirements. Finally, regarding 5G mobile communication-based UAS connectivity, identification and tracking support, we discuss the 3GPP UAV architecture, seven major problems, the proposed solutions to each problem, and propose the results for future specification work.

Currently, unmanned military vehicles under development in Korea have more devices to carry out various missions, and interface cables between them are also increasing. In addition, due to a small space problem inside the unmanned vehicle, devices are required to be miniaturized and integrated. For two reasons, connectors also need to be selected, which makes them vulnerable to noise due to the closer distance between the pins. In this paper, we analyzed how much the magnetic field produced by noise at the connector pin where cable twist is released affects the surrounding pin and presented the guide for optimal pin placement. First, the effect of magnetic field is greater than the crosstalk between pin and pin. Second, the magnetic field on both sides between + and - is strong when approaching one step with noise source. Third, the magnetic field strength is improved when setting the ground pin as the ground pin between the noise and the original signal when approaching the A noise source and the two steps. Fourth, in the case of a differential mode communication, the optimal placement area of the sensitive signal was presented according to positions Tx± and Rx±.

For continuous communication between moving vehicles such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles, an antenna system having at least more than 2-axes is needed. When the antenna is mounted on a moving vehicle such as ground vehicle, ship and so on, a stabilization and tracking system must be equipped to compensate the roll, pitch and yaw motion of the vehicle. The performance of stabilization and tracking system mainly depends on the servo control system that driving the antenna pedestal. Therefore, in this paper, a Fuzzy-PID controller for a stabilization and tracking system of a 2-axes antenna was designed and the performance was verified. To verify the verification of designed servo control system, the performance of the conventional PID controller and that of the Fuzzy-PID controller, designed by the same PID control gains, was compared.

현대의 고도화된 산업현장에서 로봇의 사용은 보편화되고 있는 실정이다. 사람이 하기 어려운 작업을 대신함으로 인해 작업의 효율성과 생산의 극대화를 이루고 있다. 이런 가운데 로봇의 쓰임이 다양화되고 있는 추세에 있다. 그 중 한 분야로 무인 탐사 로봇을 만들어 보려 한다. 무인 탐사로봇의 주요기능으로는 악조건에서도 움직일 수 있는 이동체와 원거리에서도 사람이 실시간으로 볼 수 있는 영상전송기능 등을 필요로 한다. 이런 기능을 담당하는 부품들을 제어하기 위해 프로세서가 사용된다.

With the technical development and rapid increase of private demand, the new market for unmanned vehicle combined with the characteristics of 'unmanned automation' and 'vehicle' is rapidly growing. Even though the pilot driving is currently allowed in some countries, there is no country that has institutionalized the formal driving of self-driving cars. In case of the existing vehicles, safety incidents are frequently happening due to the frequent malfunction of the rear sensor, blind spot of the rear camera, or drivers' carelessness. Once such minor flaws are complemented, the relevant regulations for the commercialization of self-driving car and small drone could be relieved. Contrary to the ultrasonic and laser sensors used for the existing vehicles, this paper aims to attempt the distance measurement by using the depth sensor. A depth camera calculates the distance data based on the TOF method calculating the time difference by lighting laser or infrared light onto an object or area and then receiving the beam coming back. As this camera can obtain the depth data in the pixel unit of CCD camera, it can be used for collecting depth data in real-time. This paper suggests to solve problems mentioned above by using depth data in real-time and also to design the obstacle avoidance system through distance measurement.

TR-60 틸트로터 무인기는 전장 3m, 최대이륙중량 200kg로서 2013년 2월 자동천이비행에 성공한 비행체로서 현재 해상운용을 위한 함상이착륙기술을 개발 중에 있다. 무인기 해상운용은 육상보다 심한 염무와 바람과 선박의 운동에 의한 착륙대의 이동 등의 열악한 환경에서 이루어져야 한다. 이동이 있는 착륙대와 착륙장 주변의 장애물을 고려하면 정확한 착륙을 위한 정밀한 항법유도가 요구된다. TR-60의 정밀항법유도를 위해서 수cm 단위의 정확도를 갖는 RTK GPS 기반의 정밀상대항법과 이동 착륙장 대한 자동착륙유도를 설계하고 구현함으로 함상자동 이착륙 기술을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 RTK GPS 기반의 정밀상대항법과 자동착륙유도에 대한 연구와 함상접근착륙절차에 따른 자동착륙정확도 측정 비행시험 결과를 기술하였다.

We propose control mechanism of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) group for making the communication network to the base station after the target is found. We assume UAVs can communicate to each other by wireless LAN without existing communication infrastructure. UAVs started to fly in linear formation, after finding target, UAVs move to the base station to send the information about the target. At least one UAV stays the position that the target is found. This paper explains the mechanism supporting reliable connectivity during UAV group's flying. We verify the proposed scheme and evaluate the performance through NS-2 simulation. The proposed scheme can be applied to the disaster area and war zone, which the existing communication infrastructure cannot be worked.

In this study, a fuel cell system for future defense unmanned vehicles was designed and validated. A Co/Al₂O₃-Ni foam catalyst for NaBH₄ hydrolysis was characterized using several analytical methods. A NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system with the Co/Al₂O₃-Ni foam catalyst continuously generated hydrogen at elevated reaction temperatures. The fuel cell system with the NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system was designed and tested. The performance of the fuel cell system was comparable to that of the fuel cell system using pure hydrogen. Therefore, the fuel cell system with the NaBH₄ hydrogen generation system is a suitable power source for future defense unmanned vehicles owing to its easy refueling and simple system.
