An Electro-Optical Tracking System (EOTS) is an electric optical system with EO/IR cameras, laser sensors, and an IMU. The EOTS calculates coordinates of targets, using attitude and acceleration measured by the IMU. In particular for an armed aircraft, the performance of the weapon system depends on how quickly and accurately it acquires the target coordinates. The IMU should be operated after alignment is complete, to meet the coordinate accuracy required by the weapon system so the initial stabilization time of the IMU should be reduced, by quickly measuring the attitude and acceleration. Alignment is the process of determining the initial attitude by resolving the attitude error of the IMU, and the IMU of mission equipment such as an airborne EOTS, uses velocity matching based on the velocity from GPS/INS for aircraft navigation. In this paper, a method is presented to improve the transfer alignment performance of the airborne EOTS, by maneuvering aircraft and the mission equipment. First, the performance factor of the alignment was identified, as a heading error through the velocity matching model and simulation results. Then acceleration maneuvers and attitude changes were necessary, to correct the error. As a result of flight tests applied to an EOTS on a OOO aircraft system, the transfer alignment performance was improved as the duration time was decreased, by more than five times when the aircraft accelerated by more than 0.2g and the EOTS was moving until 6.7deg/s.

This paper presents a methodology for evaluating suitability of a manned-unmanned aerial vehicle team for a complicated mission. The study identified vehicle performance, equipment performance and level of autonomy as the key factors that affect the mission effectiveness. A manned and an unmanned aircraft were compared, and their performance was quantized in these respects. SEAD was chosen as a representative manned-unmanned team mission. The SEAD mission was broken down to a sequence of tasks. Mission experts evaluated the importance of each mark item for the mission legs. Combining the results showed proper type of aircraft for each leg depending on the complexity, safety, and importance of the task. Finally, the whole mission plan was laid out as a time-based sequence which alleviate pilot workload significantly.

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).

In this paper, we propose a remote control station based on the awareness of various combat field situation in order for operating multiple unmanned ground vehicles. Our remote control station is capable of sending a variety of messages designed for carrying out the skillful movement for collaborate among unmanned ground vehicles, gathering the information related with combat field situation, and completing the assigned missions which are described by operator in advance. To verify the effectiveness of our proposal, we develop the sophisticated remote control station and conduct a great many remote operating tests for multiple unmanned ground vehicles.

아리랑위성 2호는 2006년에 발사되어 정상 운영 중이다. 아리랑 위성 5호와 아리랑위성 3호는 각각 2010년과 2011년에 발사될 예정이다. 아리랑위성 2호의 운영시스템은 하나의 위성을 운영하는 개념에 따라서 개발되었다. 그러나 아리랑위성 3호 운영시스템과 아리랑위성 5호 운영시스템은 다중위성운영 개념을 도입하여 개발되고 있다. 다중위성운영 개념이란 (1) 임무를 준비하고 수행하기 위해서 충분한 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 운영절차를 확보한다. (2) 각각의 운영시스템은 독자적인 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 절차를 소유하나 하위 상세 부분들은 다른 운영시스템과 공유된다. 다중위성운영의 경우에 장비, 서브시스템, 운영절차 등이 다를 수 있고, 독자적인 운영시스템 구성이기 때문에 운영이 복잡하고 운영비용이 많이 든다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 점을 개선시키기 위해서 다중임무운영 설계개념을 제시한다. 다중임무운영 개념은 (1) 임무를 준비하고 수행하기 위해서 최근 수정 및 변경된 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 운영절차를 확보한다. (2) 최근 수정 및 변경된 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 운영 절차는 이전 개발된 운영시스템이 수행하는 기능을 지원한다. 이러한 개념의 다중임무운영은 비슷한 임무와 기능을 가진 위성들이 같은 운영자와 조직에 의해서 운영될 때 잘 적용될 수 있다. 다중임무운영시스템은 각각의 임무에만 사용되는 모듈과 다른 임무와 공통으로 사용되는 모듈로 구성된다. 이러한 개념에 따라서 운영시스템을 개발하면 개발하기 위한 시간과 예산을 크게 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한, 발사 이후 운영의 편리, 운영인력의 효율적인 활용 및 유지보수의 편리성으로 인해서 운영 상황이 크게 개선된다.

The ICS, Intercom is the equipment which mixes and distributes the audio signal from other LRUs and plays the Voice Messages. Henceforth, it is of immense contributory importance to the pilots. Especially, the audio routing, which controls On/Off mode of each audio channel, is significant in executing a pilots' mission. But the audio routing process is quite complicated as it has the interface combination of many control signals. Underthecondition, the exceptional handling becomes difficult, which decreases maintainability and productivity. In the present work, to prevent such a situation, the author suggests amethodology,whichwillhavealower impact when the software is changed and provides high maintainability and productivity for audio routing processing.

과거는 항공기의 야간임무 수행시 항법장비와 계기에 의존하여 작전을 수행하였다. 이것은 조종사로 하여금 비행 안정감을 주지 못하여 심리적 작전 저해요소로 작용하였다. 따라서, 야간 비행시에도 낮과 유사한 비행조건을 만들어주는 장비 즉, 야시장비체계 개발이 본격화 되었다. 야시장비가 장착된 항공기를 탑승하기 위해서는 야간 투시경(NVG)이 필요하며 항공기 내, 외부 조명의 개조가 전제되어야 한다. 이 글에서는 항공기 야시장비체계 개조의 필요성과 적용실례를 들어 야시장비체계에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.
