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.

For the Earth observation satellite for ISR mission, a satellite constellation can be utilized to observe a specific area periodically and ultimately increase the effectiveness of the mission. The Walker-Delta method was applied to design constellation orbits with four satellites, which could detect abnormal activities in AoI(Area of Interest). To evaluate the effectiveness of the mission, a revisiting time was selected as a key requirement. This paper presents the mission analysis process for four SAR satellites constellation as well as the result of constellation configuration design to meet the requirements. Figure of Merits analysis was performed based on algorithm developed. Finally, it was confirmed that the constellation orbit with four different orbital planes is likely to be appropriate for ISR mission.

In this paper, the instrument flight certification process and flight test results of Korean Utility Helicopter (KUH) are presented. For the instrument flight certification, the suitability of installed equipments and instruments have been reviewed and verified by ground and flight tests. Next, static and dynamic stability test are conducted in accordance with FAR-29 Appendix B. The static stability is determined by the change of speed and attitude according to control inputs. The dynamic stability is evaluated by how quickly the response of the helicopter due to long and short period control inputs are decreased. The pilot workload evaluation are also carried out by simulated IMC flight tests. This paper presents the workload assessment results when some failures are occurred at cockpit instruments, engine or flight control systems as well as the normal situation. After the simulated IMC flight test is completed, actual instrument flight test are conducted in a real IMC environment according to the air traffic controls.

최근 무인항공기는 정찰임무를 포함하여, 기상관측, 해상관측 등의 여러 임무로 사용되고 있으며, 점점 활용도가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 무인항공기 제어시스템은 과거에 비해 복잡도가 증가했으며, 보다 정밀한 실시간 제어가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 제어시스템을 위한 객체지향 설계방법론은 복잡한 모델에 대한 분석을 보다 빠르게 해주고, 재사용이 가능한 시스템 구축을 가능하게 해 줄 것이다. 이러한 목적을 위해 본 논문에서는 실시간 객체 모델인 TMO모델을 사용하여 시스템을 설계하고, TMO모델을 지원해 주는 리눅스 기반의 미들웨어를 사용하여 무인항공기 제어 시스템을 구현함으로써, 정밀한 실시간 제어시스템에 대한 TMO모델의 적합성을 판단하고, TMO모델 지원 미들웨어의 성능을 평가해 본다.

최근 영상 혹은 비디오를 이용한 신경망 기반 기술들이 활발히 응용되고 있으며, 신경망이 처리하는 임무도 다양하고 복잡해지고 있다. 이러한 신경망 임무의 다양성과 복잡성은 더욱 많은 비디오 데이터를 요구하기 때문에 비디오 데이터를 효과적으로 전송할 방법이 필요하다. 이에 따라 국제 표준화 단체인 MPEG 에서는 신경망 기계 소비에 적합한 비디오 부호화 표준 개발을 위해서 Video Coding for Machines 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 신경망의 특징 맵 부호화 효율을 개선하기 위해 특징 맵 채널 간의 유사도가 높도록 특징맵 채널을 재배열하여 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법으로 VCM 의 OpenImages 데이터셋의 5000 개 검증 영상 중 임의 선택된 360 개 영상에 대해 부호화 효율을 평가한 결과, 객체 검출 임무의 정확도가 유지되면서 모든 양자화 값에 대해 화소당 비트수가 감소했으며, BD-rate 측면에서 2.07%의 부호화 이득을 얻었다.

최근 신경망 기반 기술들의 발달에 따라, 신경망 기술들은 충분히 높은 임무 수행 성능을 달성하고 있으며 사물인터넷, 스마트시티, 자율주행 등 다양한 환경을 고려한 응용 역시 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 신경망의 임무 다양성과 복잡성은 더욱 많은 비디오 데이터가 요구되며 대역폭이 제한된 환경을 고려한 응용에서 이러한 비디오 데이터를 효과적으로 전송할 방법이 필요하다. 이에 따라 국제 표준화 단체인 MPEG 에서는 신경망 기계 소비에 적합한 비디오 부호화 표준 개발을 위해 Video Coding for Machines (VCM) 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 신경망의 특징 부호화 효율을 개선하기 위하여 VCM 을 위한 다중 스케일 특징 압축 방법을 제안한다. COCO2017 데이터셋의 검증 영상을 기반으로 제안방법을 평가한 결과, 압축된 특징의 크기는 원본 이미지의 0.03 배이며 6.8% 미만의 임무 정확도 손실을 보였다.

미래의 '정보전장'에서는 모든 전투 개체가 실시간 정보를 공유하면서 작전을 수행하게 되며, 병사 또한 하나의 체계로 임무를 수행하기 위해 각종 디지털 디바이스가 내장된 스마트 전투복을 입게 될 것으로 생각된다. 선진국들은 여러 해 전부터 스마트 전투복을 개발하고자 하는 노력을 기울여 왔으며, 우리나라에서도 이에 동참하고 있다. 그러나, 각종 병사 구성품과 디지털 디바이스를 의복 내에 포함시켜 설계함에 있어서 병사의 동작과 체형에 적합한 설계안을 도출하기 위하여 프로토타입을 착용한 후 그 사용성을 평가할 필요성이 대두되었다. 본 연구는 미래병사의 전투력 향상을 위해 각종 디지털 디바이스를 내장한 스마트 전투복의 사용성을 평가하는 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 개발된 스마트의류의 사용성평가 척도를 이용하여 디지털 디바이스 내장형 전투복 프로토타입의 사용하여 사용성평가의 척도를 새롭게 개발하고 스마트 전투복의 사용성 평가 척도와 기술을 개발하였다.

As a part of the first stage in the helicopter flight simulator development, this study numerically evaluates handling qualities of the dynamics model. The flight dynamics model was generated using public information for AS365 N2, the target aircraft of the simulator. The flight simulator is under development as a pilot training and research tool for firefighting missions. The assessment of the model intends to validate general characteristics and suitability before the model is enhanced with flight test data. The evaluation is based on the ADS-33E-PRF(Aeroautical Design Standard Performance Specification Handling Qualities Requirement) criteria, with consideration of category of the aircraft, missions, and environment. The numerical operations follow required or recommended procedures of flight test for compliance demonstration. Evaluation results are evaluated according to the rating specified in maneuverability ADS-33E-PRF. Results have identified to provide a satisfactory platform for flight dynamic model in the general helicopter simulator generated based on the RotorLibFDM, and can be used as a base for basic training and research.

Drones, which have rapidly grown along with the 4th industrial revolution, spread over industries and also widely used for military purposes. In recent wars in Europe, drones are being evaluated as a game changer on the battlefield, and their importance for military use is being highlighted. The Republic of Korea Army also planned drone-bot systems including various drones suitable for echelons and missions of the military as future defense forces. The keyword of these drone-bot systems is autonomy by artificial intelligence. In addition, common use of operating platforms is required for the rapid development of various types of drones. In this paper, we propose software framework that applies diverse artificial intelligence technologies such as multi-agent system, cognitive architecture and knowledge-based context reasoning for mission autonomy and common use of military drones.

An aerial refueling provides for extension of operational time and range for aircraft and enhances mission effectiveness, hence it application by most military aircrafts. The receiver aircraft should have the aerial refueling clearance that is established by performing technical and operational compatibility assessments to certify it for aerial refueling with a specific tanker model. The compatibility assessment includes aerial refueling handling qualities, functional, fuel, lighting system testing and it is finally verified through flight testing. However, since aerial refueling compatibility assessments have never been performed in Korea, there is no experience to determine the test requirements and the scope and size of the test program for a new development aircraft. This paper therefore introduces the common techniques of aerial refueling and aerial refueling flight test methods to understand the aerial refueling FCS (Flight Control System), OFP (operational flight program) and system validation, and aerial refueling envelope clearance of a fixed wing aircraft for a boom and receptacle refueling system that is being introduced into Korea Air Force.
