For Multi-UAV systems, a task allocation could be a key factor to determine the capability to perform a task. In this paper, we proposed a task allocation method based on genetic algorithm for minimizing makespan and satisfying various constraints. To obtain the optimal solution of the task allocation problem, a huge calculation effort is necessary. Therefore, a genetic algorithm-based method could be an alternative to get the answer. Many types of UAVs, tasks, and constraints in real worlds are introduced and considered when tasks are assigned. The proposed method can build the task sequence of each UAV and calculate waiting time before beginning tasks related to constraints. After initial task allocation with a genetic algorithm, waiting time is added to satisfy constraints. Multiple numerical simulation results validated the performance of this mission planning method with minimized makespan.

미래의 해전은, 현재와 같은 추세로 살펴본다면 무기 체계의 첨단 기술이 개발이 되었을 경우, 미사일 전쟁화가 될 것으로 추정이 된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 미 해군이 차세대 구축함으로 개발하고 있는 DD2l함을 근거로 해서 전투효율과 경제성에 기초를 둔, 차세대 함정이 갖추어야 할 필요 충분 조건이 무엇인가를 고찰하기로 하였다. 하나의 임무를 갖춘 함정의 여러 척수와 다종 임무를 갖춘 한 척의 함정간의 전투 효율과 경제성에 대한 비교로 부터, 다종 임무를 갖춘 한 척이 양측면에서 우수하다는 사실이 전술과 전략 측면에 관한 각종 연구를 통해 평가되고 있다.

A low earth orbit satellite with a fixed solar array always has a sun-pointing attitude during daylight, and changes into a nadir-pointing attitude for a imaging mission. Since external heating sources to the satellite panels are Earth　irradiation and Albedo during most of daylight in a sun-pointing attitude, the thermal environment condition is relatively stable. However, direct sunlight which is the greatest environmental heating has an affect on the satellite panels during a mission period (10% of one orbit) in a nadir-pointing attitude. In satellite thermal design, thermal effects of a nadir-pointing mission attitude due to this thermal environment change need to be evaluated although the duration of a nadir-pointing attitude is short. Therefore, a nadir-pointing attitude during a mission is incorporated into thermal model and by the thermal analysis result, thermal effects on the satellite are investigated.

We presents a design of 3U cubesat MIMAN (Monochrome imaging for monitoring aerosol by nano-satellite) for aerosol monitoring mission with high spatial resolution. The main objective of MIMAN mission is to take images of aerosols around Korea and to provide auxiliary data for GK 2B cloud masking. For this mission, we derived mission requirements and constraints for the MIMAN mission. We designed the mission architecture and concept of operations. To reduce risk factors in space operation, we considered the safety of the communication. In every operation modes, UHF communication is available so that the cubesat can operate based on the ground commands. So, we can handle every problem at the ground station during mission operations. Based on the mission and concept of operations, we confirmed that the system design satisfied the system requirements. We designed the system interface considering data flow of each hardware, and evaluated the safety of the system with system budget analysis.

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.

다목적실용위성 3호의 태양전지판은 위성의 -Z축 방향에 고정되어 있는 방식으로 사용되고 있다. 이로 인해 위성이 임무수행을 위한 자세기동을 하게 되면 태양전지판의 태양입사각 변화에 따라 전력생산량이 변하게 되고 이를 예측하여 최대 방전률(DOD : Depth of Discharge)을 넘지 않는 제한조건 내에서 임무 계획을 수행해야 한다. 전력생산량 및 전력소비량을 예측하기 위해서는 전력 모의실험을 수행해야 하며 이를 위해 위성의 자세 및 위치정보, 임무를 고려한 Mission Profile, 태양입사각, 초기 방전률 값을 생성해야 한다. 본 논문은 태양입사각 계산을 위해 위성의 임무(영상 촬영, 지상국 교신)를 반영한 자세 및 위치 정보를 생성하고, 이 결과를 태양입사각 계산 로직에 적용하여 태양입사각을 생성한 결과를 정리하였다. 생성된 결과의 타당성을 검토하기 위해 상용 툴인 STK를 이용하여 비교를 수행하였다. 또한, 전력 모의실험에 사용된 Mission Profile은 위성 운용에 안정성을 높이며 복잡한 임무 시나리오에 적용이 용이하도록 운용 Margin을 고려하여 생성하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방안을 실제 수행된 임무 시나리오에 적용하여 전력 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 임무 수행 후 획득된 위성 Telemetry를 이용한 실측값과 비교하여 전력 모의 실험 결과에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다. 실제 초기 운영결과 제한된 전력 허용 범위 내에서 적용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A mission scheduling optimization algorithm according to the purpose of satellite operations is developed using genetic algorithm. Satellite mission scheduling is making a timetable of missions which are slated to be performed. It is essential to make an optimized timetable considering related conditions and parameters for effective mission performance. Thus, as important criterions and parameters related to scheduling vary with the purpose of satellite operation, those factors should be fully considered and reflected when the satellite mission scheduling algorithm is developed. The developed algorithm in this study is implemented and verified through a comprehensive simulation study. As a result, it is shown that the algorithm can be applied into various type of the satellite mission operations.

In this study, thermal model for backplane of GPS antenna in Low Earth Orbit Satellite is updated and orbit thermal analysis is performed. The analysis is focused on the safehold mode of satellite. During the safehold mode, the solar panel is constantly looking to the Sun, and there is not a mission maneuvering. Therefore, antenna backplane receives the maximum heat influx considering the End-Of-Life condition. To maintain the temperature of antenna within allowable limits, radiating tape is applied and its area is determined. Besides, to verify the lowest temperature of the antenna, cold case with Begin-Of-Life analysis is also performed.

Autonomous system for UAVs has a capability to decide an appropriate current action to achieve the goal based on the ultimate mission goal, context of mission, and the current state of the UAV. We propose a decision-making system that has an ability to operate ISR mission autonomously under the realistic limitation such as low altitude operation with high risk of terrain collision, a set of way points without change of visit sequence not allowed, and position uncertainties of the objects for the mission. The proposed decision-making system is loaded to a Hardware-In-the-loop Simulation environment, then tested and verified using three representative scenarios with a realistic mission environment. The flight trajectories of the UAV and selected actions via the proposed decision-making system are presented as the simulation results with discussion.
