The effect of air drag was researched when a low-earth orbit spacecraft using power-limited thruster rendezvoused another low-earth orbit spacecraft. The air density was assumed to decrease exponentially. The radius of parking orbit was 6655.935km and that of target orbit was 7321.529km. From the trajectories of active vehicles, the fuelconsumption and the magnitude of thrust acceleration, we could conclude that the effect of air drag had to be considered in fuel optimal rendezvous problem between low-earth orbit spacecrafts. In multiple-revolution rendezvous case, the air drag was more effective.

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.

Recently, as the roles and utilization fields of UAV become more diverse, demand for high - level mission has been increasing. To solve this issue, researches on the operation of multiple small UAVs and related systems have been actively carried out. The multiple small UAVs based application system has a problem that the task complexity of control personnel increases because the control personnel must continuously control and manage several small UAVs. Hence, it is necessary to develop a software platform that can perform efficient control in order to employ a multiple small UAVs based application system successfully. In this paper, we propose an effective ground control software platform for application systems using multiple small UAVs. We first analyze the requirements for the software platform, and design and implement software based on the analysis. Simulation using the X-plane flight simulator shows that multiple flight data are effectively displayed and that the image data transmitted from many small UAVs are simultaneously displayed in real time.

In case of unmanned aerial vehicles used in modern society, there has been a problem where a human operator should be still needed to control the UAV because of a lower level of autonomy. In this paper, genetic algorithm is selected as a methodology for the autonomy accomplishment and then we verify a possibility of UAV autonomy by applying the GA. The landing is one of the important classical tasks on aerial vehicle and the lunar Landing is one of the most historical events. Autonomy possibility of computer-simulated UAV is verified by landing autonomy method of a falling body equipped with a propulsion system similar to the lunar Lander. When applying the GA, the genom is encoded only with 4 actions (left-turn, right-turn, thrust, and free-fall) and applied onto the falling body, Then we applied the major operations of GA and achieved a success experiment. A major contribution is to construct a simulated UAV where an autonomy of UAV can be accomplished while minimizing the sensor dependency. Also we implemented a test-bed where the possibility of autonomy accomplishment by applying the GA can be verified.

This paper represents a method for designing of path following Line-of-Sight(LOS) guidance law based on vehicle kinematics. In general, a LOS guidance law which is composed of gains and approach length as design parameters is designed by empirical or trial-and-error method. These approaches cannot guarantee a precision tracking performance of guidance law consistently. Also, the design parameters should be redesigned with variations of vehicle maneuverability and flight velocity. Based on a vehicle kinematics with its velocity, the proposed method for designing of parameters not only minimizes the number of design parameters, also has a reliable and consistent tracking performance using variable guidance gain changed in accordance with flight velocity. This is validated by nonlinear simulation with $1^{st}$ order attitude response dynamics and flight experiments with given linear and circular path.

As flying vehicle's speed is getting faster, the magnitude of aerodynamic heating is getting bigger. High-speed vehicle's exterior skin is heated to hundreds of degrees, and electrical equipments inside the vehicle are heated, simultaneously. Since allowable temperature of electrical equipments is low, they are vulnerable to effect of aerodynamic heating. These days, lots of techniques are applied to estimate temperature of electrical equipments in flight condition, and to make them thermally safe from heating during flight. In this paper, new model building technique for thermal safety analysis is introduced. To understand internal thermal transient characteristic of electrical equipment, simple heating experiment was held. From the result of experiment, we used our new building technique to build thermal analysis model which reflects thermal transient characteristic of original equipment. This model can provide internal temperature differences of electrical equipment and temperature change of specific unit which is thermally most vulnerable part in the equipment. So, engineers are provided much more detailed thermal analysis data for thermal safety of electrical equipment through this technique.

Unlike manned aerial vehicles, because an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a limitation which allows only remote test during flights, it is very important to maintain the high reliability of the vehicle through pre- and post-flight tests. To this end, this paper designed an air vehicle test equipment (AVTE) for UAV which meets the derived hardware and software requirements. Based on this design, the AVTE was implemented in accordance with the actual test scenario. The implemented AVTE has the advantage of reducing the time and cost required for the test of UAV by allowing the operator to perform automatic or manual tests for necessary parts in various situations such as before and after starting engine and pre- and post-flight tests. Furthermore, this study is expected to help with the design and implementation of AVTE for other UAVs.

This paper implements an antenna selection logic that automatically selects omni-directional antennas mounted on the top and bottom of an unmanned helicopter to maintain the link margin of the data link at 0dB or higher during flight. The selection criteria were derived by simulating and analyzing the radiation pattern. In addition, it is implemented to select the optimal antenna in real time during the flight by deriving the directivity angle function.

최근 다양한 센싱장치와 HCI 디바이스를 결합하여 로봇이나 기계장치를 구동하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 또한 기존의 RC방식의 무인비행체 조작은 관련분야의 전문성을 필요로 할 만큼 접근하기 어려운 면이 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 소형 무인비행체(UAV)의 움직임 제어를 위해 데이터 글로브의 손가락 구부러짐을 인식하여 이를 통해 무인비행체를 조작하는 원격조종장치에 관한 시스템 구조 및 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이 시스템을 통해 비전문가로 하여금 무인비행체의 접근성을 높이며 다양한 분야에 활용 할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 데이터 글로브의 센싱 데이터에 대한 조합 및 해석방식을 정의하고, 이를 데이터 글로브의 손가락 구부러짐 해석에 적용하였다. 또한 조합된 명령신호를 전송하는 무인비행체의 구동 제어를 위한 비동기 Uplink 프로토콜을 제안하였다.

본 논문은 우주 발사 비행체가 지구 재진입 할 때의 유도제어에 관한 것이다. 우주 발사 비행체의 재진입궤적은 재진입 할 때의 특징에 따라 여러 단계로 나누어진다. 저항가속도는 각 단계에 따라 알맞은 파라메터로 표현되며, 해석적인 저항가속도로 단순화된 궤적으로 표현한다. 본 연구는 현재의 이란적인 궤적방법과 예측방법의 각각의 장점에 의한 혼합유도방법을 표현하였다. 제안된 유도방법을 이용한 우주 발사 비행체의 재진입 모의실험의 결과는 혼합유도방법이 지구대기 재진입 할 때 간단하고 효과적인 유도방법임을 보여주었다.
