Survivability of an aircraft has been greatly threatened by the development of a weapon system using infrared. Therefore, the infrared stealth technology is a very important technique to improve the survivability of an aircraft. In this study, the infrared signal of an aircraft was analyzed which corresponding to the aircraft surface temperature and environmental conditions with various surface conditions(especially emissivity changed). Based on the analyzed infrared signal, the optimized surface emissivity was suggested to reduce the average contrast radiance and contrast radiant intensity(CRI). In addition, we confirmed that the infrared contrast radiant intensity between the aircraft and the background can be minimized through an appropriately controlled surface emissivity of the aircraft at specific background.

In recent years, as the commercialization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been actively promoted, much attention has been focused on developing a technology to ensure the safety of UAVs. In general, the UAV has the potential to enter an uncontrollable state caused by sudden maneuvers, disturbances, and pilot error. To prevent entering an uncontrolled situation, it is essential to predict the flight state of the UAV. In this paper, we propose a flight state prediction technique based on an improved CNN-LSTM hybrid mode to enhance the flight state prediction performance. Simulation results show that the proposed prediction technique offers better state prediction performance than the existing prediction technique, and can be operated in real-time in an on-board environment.

최근 무인기와 초소형비행체를 위한 프로펠러 연구수요가 증가하고 있다. 일반적인 프로펠러와 다른 점은 저 레이놀즈수 유동조건에서 구동된다는 점이다. 본 연구는 저 레이놀즈수 유동조건에서 비행하는 인간 동력 항공기를 위한 프로펠러 공력설계 및 성능해석에 관한 연구다. 저 레이놀즈수 유동조건에서 발생하는 공력천이현상을 고려한 3차원 공력특성 변화를 정확히 반영하지 못하는 상용 프로그램의 단점을 보완하여 프로펠러 공력설계 및 성능해석이 가능한 프로그램을 개발했다. 개발된 프로그램으로 인간 동력 항공기 설계요구조건에 충족하는 프로펠러 공력설계 및 성능해석을 수행하였다. 또한 프로펠러 회전수와 장착각도 변화에 따른 성능변화를 예측하여 비행당시 상황에 따라 비행 가능한 성능출력이 가능하도록 하였다.

In this paper, we study the technique to improve the performance of the aerial images taken by UAV using daubechies stationary wavelet transform. When aerial images taken by UAV were damaged by gaussian noise very commonly applied, the experiment for image performance improvement was performed. It was known that stationary wavelet transform is the transferring solution to the problem occurred by down sampling from DWT also more efficient to remove noise than DWT. Also haar wavelet is discontinuous function so not efficient for smooth signal and image processing. Therefore, this study is confirmed that the noise can be removed by daubechies stationary wavelet and the performance is improved by haar stationary wavelet.

Performance characteristics of propulsion systems applied to UAVs that under development or completed in foreign countries were analyzed. In this study, aircraft mission and performance characteristics of ten UAVs were reviewed and compared with current available civil and military aircraft. Also performance characteristics of UAVs propulsion systems were summarized and engine design parameters were analyzed. Thrust, SFC and design parameters such as pressure ratio and bypass ratio of UAV propulsion system were compared with the current existing civil and military aircraft engines. From this study, the design parameters of the propulsion system applied to the UAV were well understood.

The outside environment is very severe while aircraft is cruising. Especially small particle of icing in cold air condition can have negative influence on aircraft performance. If ice particle is attached to leading edge of wing, it can change wing configuration and decrease flight quality. If icing particle is attached to inlet of engine, it can damage compressor blade and have negative influence to aircraft safety. We make icing simulation device with liquid air system for analyzing about variation of engine performance due to incoming of icing to engine.

본 논문에서는 공항 지상 감시 장비(ASDE: Airport Surface Detection Equipment) 데이터를 이용하여 항공기의 지상이동 운항모드를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 항공기의 운항모드와 그에 따라 관측되는 속도 및 가속도를 확률 변수로 정의함으로써, 확률적 추정방법을 통해 운항모드를 추정하였다. 운항모드를 추정하기 위한 모형으로서는 은닉 마르코프 모형(HMM: Hidden Markov Model)을 사용하였으며 실제 ASDE 데이터를 통해 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증해 보았다.

항공기 내에서 단일코어 기반의 임무컴퓨터를 포함하는 연합형 항공전자 모델은 항공기의 임무 요구도 증대와 전장 환경의 변화에 따라 기내 데이터 양이 급격히 증가하여 비행 운용 프로그램(OFP)의 실시간성 및 처리성능에 한계를 보인다. 또한 분산된 임무컴퓨터의 공간점유와 무게 및 높은 전력소비가 발생하므로, 본 연구에서는 실시간 운영체제 모듈을 적용한 멀티코어 기반의 통합 모듈형 시스템(IMA) 플랫폼을 제시하여 비용과 체적을 감소시킨 개발 환경을 제공한다.

A small UAVs(Unmaned Aerial Vehicles) have limited by the payload capacity which requires miniaturization of a navigation system. In this paper, the performance of the lightweight and small sized AHRS(Attitude Heading Reference System), which is self-developed, is evaluated at low acceleration environment. The designed AHRS adopts the commercial low-cost MEMS sensors. A quaternion-based attitude calculation method, which eliminates singularity with relatively simple algebra, is used. In an attitude correction algorithm, the Kalman filter is used with accelerometers and magnetometers combined. The fabricated AHRS is also evaluated with reference to a COTS(Commercial Off-The-Shelf) AHRS which reports a number of successful applications to a small UAVs. The test results show that the measurements from the fabricated AHRS provide proper attitude output data with acceptable amount of differences(horizontal axis 0.5$^{\circ}$, vertical axis 1.5$^{\circ}$) in test environment.
