  • This paper presents a path planning algorithm of the unmanned aerial vehicle for the neutralization of the enemy firepower. The long range firepower of the ememy is usually located at the rear side of the mountain which is difficult to bomb. The path planner not only consider the differential constraints of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) but also consider the final approaching angle constraint. This problem is easily solved by incorporating the analytical upper bounded continuous curvature path smoothing algorithm into the Rapidly Exploring Random Tree (RRT) planner. The proposed algorithm can build a feasible path satisfying the kinematic constraints of the UAV on the fly. In addition, the curvatures of the path are continuous over the whole path. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can generate a feasible path of the UAV for the bombing mission regardless of the posture of the tunnel.

  • In this paper, the effect of unsteady radiation on the horizontal fin of an external fuel tank by flame of a flying flare was analysed to see the temperature increase of the fin and the thermal impact on the fin. Radiation between two surfaces was calculated using the concept of radiation resistance of surface and space including radiation, irradiation and shape factor for two flying trajectories of a flare, maximum temperature of 2200 K, emissivity of 0.95, flying velocity of 30 m/s, and thermal surface area of $0.01m^2$. The result shows that the temperature increase of the fin is 0.236 K, and the thermal effect on the fin is ignorable. And it was found that temperature is increased a little because small amount of heat energy can be radiated due to the short exposure time to the heat source.

  • This study introduces the development and application of instructional materials for a micro-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) design and manufacturing program in university education for freshman/sophomore students. The ADDIE methodology was applied to the development of educational materials, which consist of 15 lessons including the aircraft design theory, 3D CAD modeling, 3D printing production, and UAV flight control. The validity of the program was evaluated with 8 expert panels. A total of 82 participants from engineering and social science grouped the 16 teams for the creative UAV wing design and cooperative interactions. The results of overall program satisfaction survey was measured highly as the average 4.54 (out of 5), so that the students were content with the professional engineering knowledge, 3D digital tools, and the opportunity to design and manufacture airplanes on their own. In conclusion, it can be confirmed that the developed program is effective for UAV education for junior level college student.

  • 자동종속 감시 시스템 (ADS-B; automatic dependent surveillance - broadcast) 시스템과 다변측정 항공감시 시스템(MLAT, multilateration) 시스템은 통신/항행/감시 및 교통관리 (CNS/ATM; communications, navigation, and surveillance/air traffic management)의 다양한 분야 중에서 감시분야에 속한다. ADS-B와 MLAT는 위성 및 디지털 통신 기술을 기반으로 구현되어 레이더 보다 성능이 뛰어나지만, 여전히 오차는 가지고 있다. 우는 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위해 reweighted convex combination method를 제안한다. Reweighted convex combination method는 기존의 convex combination method를 개선한 정보융합 기법으로 시스템에 주어지는 가중치를 재조정하여 항공기 추적 성능을 향상시킨다. reweighted convex combination method을 ADS-B와 MLAT에 적용 시켰을 때, 평균 51.51 %의 성능향상이 있었다.

  • Atmospheric corrosion severity associated with aircraft parking environment was studied using metallic specimens, and temperature and humidity sensors installed at each aircraft operating base. Data were analyzed after a year of exposure. Silver was used to measure chloride deposition by integrating X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiles. Carbon steel was utilized to determine the corrosion rate by measuring the weight loss. The time of wetness was determined using temperature and humidity sensor data. Analysis of variance followed by Tukey's "honestly significant difference" test indicated that atmospheric environment inside the shelter varied significantly from that of unsheltered parking environment. The corrosion rate of unsheltered area also varies with the roof. Hierarchical clustering analysis of the measured data was used to classify air bases into groups with similar atmospheric corrosion. Bases where aircraft park at a shelter can be grouped together regardless of geographical location. Unsheltered bases located inland can also be grouped together with sheltered bases as long as the aircraft are parked under the roof. Environmental severity index was estimated using collected data and validated using the measured corrosion rate.

  • Modeling and Simulation(M&S) has widely been used in various areas such as industry, academy and military. Especially, military have used the technology for acquisition, training, and combat assessment. In this paper, we introduce our experience using M&S technique to analyze the network traffic amount and packet delay time between two military bases. For this, we modeled the current network configuration of the military bases and simulated the model with NS-3 tool. The result provided us for an insight regarding the required network performance between two bases.
