The operational flight program(OFP) which has the functions of I/O processing with avionics, flight control logic calculation, fault diagnosis and redundancy mode is embedded in the flight control computer of Smart UAV. The OFP was developed in the environment of PowerPC 755 processor and VxWorks 5.5 real-time operating system. The OFP consists of memory access module, device I/O signal processing module and flight control logic module, and each module was designed to hierarchical structure. Memory access and signal processing modules were verified from bench test, and flight control logic module was verified from hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS) test, ground integration test, tethered test and flight test. This paper describes development environment, software structure, verification and management method of the OFP.

The objective of this thesis is to research the software requirement management system for the development of operational flight program (OFP) which is embedded in aircraft avionics. It offers the function to record the requirement revision log. In fact, the COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) program which has similar function already exists in the market. But this kind of software programs are too complicated and relatively expensive in acquisition. Furthermore, they require too expensive maintenance cost, medium sized business company, this thesis intended to provide the software requirement management system that can be simply installed and easily used.

Avionics OFP runs on the mission computer and can be operated by interacting with several avionics equipments. In order to verify OFP SW, SIL having real avionics equipments or models is absolutely necessary. Therefore in many cases SIL is implemented concurrently with OFP developing, and only one SIL is provided to developers. So developers sometimes need an alternative to SIL for verifying requirements in the middle of development process. In this paper, we propose a single PC based STE SW that simulates interworking equipments and verifies OFP in a single PC environment without actual interworking equipments or SIL HW interfaces.

This paper describe the Lateral Navigation algorithm design and verification that implementation on Mission Computer's OFP for Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH) instead of Auto Flight Control System(AFCS) Vehicle Management System. The LNAV function transmits Roll command into the AFCS System. The Roll command value will be calculated by control algorithms in MC. The Operational Flight Program(OFP) shall use for its calculations different measurements of the aircraft's attitude and place. Using these inputs, the OFP will translate a navigational demand(for example-to perform the selected flight plan) into Roll commands to the autopilot. By conducting integration test using SIL and ground test, flight test, it is confirmed that the introduced algorithm meets the requirements of the Mission Equipment Package(MEP) system. LNAV function is verified through the System Integration Laboratory(SIL) test, ground and flight test.

In this paper, I present the design of Operational Flight Programs(OFPs) on a Multi-Core based Mission Computer(MC) for the optimized performance of the OFPs on Multi-Core based MC. The program assigned as tasks on Multi-Core environment can be scheduled by designing with the use of OpenMp, which is the standard for parallel programming. This paper also describes the differences between Multi-Core Program(MCP) on the technique and Single-Core Program(SCP) in terms of performance aspect. The new proposed design technique is applied to the Integrated Up-Front Control OFP(IUFC OFP) on General Processor Module where Multi-Core based. This paper describes the Multi-Core design technique for the optimized performance of the IUFC OFP, which display and control flight data(Navigation, Communication, Identification Friend or Foe) to pilot.

It is necessary to develop digital flight control system by digital control technology to ensure stability and maneuverability of rotary helicopter. It is important to meet functional requirements of helicopter flight control system OFP and verify system reliability directly linked to flight safety as a core technology that avoids the transfer of technology by overseas advanced helicopter manufacturer. In this paper, we studied how to perform FMET for operational flight program of rotary automatic flight control system.

Verification and validation of operational software of the flight control computer, which is flight safety critical, is very important to prove correctness and faultness of the software. To verify the real-time softare requirement on operational software of flight control computer, real-time software internal parameter and variable monitoring technics on hardware-in-the-loop environment, similar to on-flight environment, is required. This paper describes flight safety critical software validation and verificiation environment using standard debugging interface, NEXUS 5001.

The Smart UAV must have the control characteristics of propulsion system necessary for both rotary aircraft and fixed wing aircraft though it equips turbo-shaft engine. To develop an electronic engine controller in the future, it is necessary to accumulate the experience of engine operation and data of tilt rotor aircraft. For this purpose, the computer programs which predict engine performance in the steady state and transient state can be utilized for the supplementation of flight test data. In this work, we developed a dynamic analysis program using engine performance data gathered during the flight tests. In addition the accuracy of the program was verified through comparison with flight test data and the results of steady-state performance analysis program.
