High-speed flight vehicles (HSFVs) such as space launch vehicles and missiles undergo severe dynamic loads which are generated during the launch and in in-flight environments. A typical vehicle is composed of thin plate skin structures with high-performance electronic units sensitive to such vibratory loads. Such lightweight structures are then exposed to external dynamic loads which consist of random vibration, shock, and acoustic loads created under the operating environment. Three types of dynamic loads (acoustic loads, rocket motor self-induced excitation loads and aerodynamic fluctuating pressure loads) are considered as major components in this study. The estimation results are compared to the design specification (MIL-STD-810) to check the appropriateness. The objective of this paper is to study an estimation methodology which helps to establish design specification for the dynamic loads acting on both vehicle and electronic units at arbitrary locations inside the vehicle.

This study designed a model-based Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) software for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles have transitioned from conventional powertrains (e.g., engines and transmissions) to electric powertrains. The primary role of the VCU is to determine the optimal torque for driving control. This decision is based on the driver's power request and current road conditions. The determined torque is then transmitted to the electric drive system, which includes motors and controllers. The VCU employs an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and calibrated reference torque to enhance the electric vehicle's performance. The designed VCU software further refines the final reference torque by comparing the control logic with the torque calculation functions and ANN-generated reference torque. Vehicle tests confirmed the effective optimization of vehicle performance using the model-based VCU software, which includes an ANN.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 발사체의 형상에 대하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 적용하여 분리 유격 분석을 수행하였다. 단 분리는 매우 짧은 시간동안 이루어지며, 매우 많은 운동 변수가 관계되고 충돌 발생시 발사 실패가 나타나는 매우 중요한 비행 이벤트이다. 다양한 오차요인이 무작위(random)로 발생하는 경우에도 설정된 유격조건 내에서 분리가 됨을 확인하기 위해 일반적인 발사체 형상에 대한 단 분리 분석을 수행하였다. 몬테카를로 분석 기법을 발사체 단 분리 분석에 적용함으로서 단 분리 운동시 확률적인 결과들을 제시하였다.

Recently many kinds of electric vehicles have been developed as many governments demand the environmental friendly vehicles. In this paper, study of load optimization for the electric vehicle which has multiple axle power system was conducted. For the analysis of the vehicle which has three or four driving axles, a method based on the geometry and assumptions that considering axles as a spring model and normal forces of the axles are proportional to the displacement of the axles was applied with basic vehicle dynamics. With the developed vehicle analysis technique, algorithm to find the optimal motor operating points was developed. Using this algorithm, it was possible to find the optimization of vehicle load distribution for multiple axles according to the driving cycles. Also, control logic for the vehicle can be developed based on the optimization simulation results.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which were used for military purposes, are gradually expanding their application fields under the influence of electrification and digitalization. Starting from the field of aerial imaging and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission, nowadays the possibility of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), which transports passengers and cargo with drones, is widely under discussion. In order to occupy the rapidly growing global unmanned aerial vehicle market in advance, it is necessary to secure core technologies and develop key UAVs components based on the new technologies. In the navigation field, it is necessary to secure a precise position with guaranteed reliability and continuity, unrelated to the operating environments. The reliability and continuity should be secured in the algorithm level and in the H/W component levels also. In order to achieve this technical goal, the Ministry of Science and ICT has launched the 'Unmanned Vehicle Core Technology Research and Development Program' in 2019 to support the R&D on the unmanned vehicle technologies. In this paper, authors introduce the unmanned vehicle core technology research and development program to the related researchers. The authors summarize the backgrounds of the program and show the technological tasks and objectives on the sub-programs in the unmanned vehicle navigation program. We present the program schedules especially focused on the test and evaluation of the developed technologies and components.

최근 우주 기술이 발달함에 따라 전 세계적으로 위성 시장, 특히 소형 위성 시장이 크게 성장하고 있다. 이러한 위성 시장의 성장세 속에서 발사체 시장 역시 성장세를 보이고 있으며 이에 따라 저비용 발사에 대한 수요가 점점 증가하고 있다. 저비용 발사를 위한 방안에는 저비용 추진제를 사용하는 엔진 개발, 제품 생산 및 운송비용 절감 등 다양한 방법이 존재하지만, 발사 비용을 가장 크게 줄이는 방법은 바로 사용한 발사체를 다시 사용하는 것이다. 재사용 발사체의 시작은 유인 우주선으로 유명한 미국의 Space Shuttle이라 할 수 있다. 하지만 Space Shuttle의 경우 재사용이라고 불리기는 하지만 재사용 할 수 있는 부분이 한정되어 있고, 발사 효율이 떨어져 재사용 발사체 임에도 불구하고 상당히 고비용이었다. 최근에는 미국의 SpaceX와 Blue Origin을 중심으로 상업적 목적의 재사용 발사체가 개발 되고 있고 재착륙 시험에 성공하였다. 뿐만 아니라, SpaceX의 경우 이전 재착륙을 성공한 1단 발사체를 정비하여 다시 발사하는데 까지 성공하기도 하였다. 이러한 추세에 따라 유럽, 인도와 같은 국가에서도 현재 재사용 발사체 연구에 심혈을 기울이고 있다. 그리고 Blue Origin을 포함한 미국의 Virgin Galactic, XCOR 등은 민간 유인 우주여행과 같은 재사용 기술을 이용한 상품화도 시도하고 있다. 재사용 기술이 확립되면 세계 발사체 시장의 판도가 바뀔 수 있기에 재사용 기술 동향의 정기적인 확인은 필수적이라 할 수 있다.

20kg 미만의 중소형 멀티콥터의 초기 사이징 과정에서 적용 가능한 기체 구조 중량 예측에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 임무장비를 제외하고 멀티콥터는 기체 구조, 모터, 프로펠러, 배터리 등으로 구성되는데, 모터, 프로펠러, 배터리 등의 중량은 설계변수에 따른 추세선을 통해 추정이 가능하다. 하지만 기체 구조 중량은 멀티콥터의 형상과 설계 개념이 다양하고, 대부분의 상용 제품들이 기체 구조 중량 데이터를 제공하지 않기 때문에 추세선을 통해 예측할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 기본적인 멀티콥터 형상을 정의하고 멀티콥터 사이징 초기 단계에서 결정되는 프로펠러 개수와 직경을 통해 멀티콥터 기체 구조 중량을 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 구조 중량이 제시된 멀티콥터 제품들을 통해 검증하여 그 유용성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the development status of a subscale precooled turbojet engine "S-engine" for the hypersonic cruiser and space place. S-engine employs the precooled-cycle using liquid hydrogen as fuel and coolant. It has $23cm{\times}23cm$ of rectangular cross section, 2.6 m of the overall length and about 100 kg of the target weight employing composite materials for a variable-geometry rectangular air-intake and nozzle. The design thrust and specific impulse at sea-level-static(SLS) are 1.2 kN and 2,000 sec respectively. After the system design and component tests, a prototype engine made of metal was manufactured and provided for the system firing test using gaseous hydrogen in March 2007. The core engine performance could be verified in this test. The second firing test using liquid hydrogen was conducted in October 2007. The engine, fuel supplying system and control system for the next flight test were used in this test. We verified the engine start-up sequence, compressor-turbine matching and performance of system and components. A flight test of S-engine is to be conducted by the Balloon-based Operation Vehicle(BOV) at Taiki town in Hokkaido in October 2008. The vehicle is about 5 m in length, 0.55 m in diameter and 500 kg in weight. The vehicle is dropped from an altitude of 40 km by a high-altitude observation balloon. After 40 second free-fall, the vehicle pulls up and S-engine operates for 60 seconds up to Mach 2. High altitude tests of the engine components corresponding to the BOV flight condition are also conducted.
