Foreign object debris (FOD) is a generic term for various metals and non-metal foreign object and materials with potential hazards to aircraft operations. Since the method of manual FOD detection and collection in the aircraft moving area is very low in efficiency and economic efficiency, it is essential to develop to FOD automatic detection system suitable for domestic environment. This paper is the result of the performance comparison test results of the two systems for the combined operation of each optimal detection time and 95% accuracy above 100 m for complex operation using the fixed FOD automatic detection system and the mobile FOD system using EO/IR camera and radar at Taean Airfield Hanseo University. It is expected that FOD can be performed unattended through continuous R & D.

Artificial intelligence is driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution and is in the spotlight as a general-purpose technology. As the data collection from the battlefield increases rapidly, the need to us artificial intelligence is increasing in the military, but it is still in its early stages. In order to identify maritime targets, Republic of Korea navy acquires images by ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) of maritime patrol aircraft, and humans make out them. The radar image is displayed by synthesizing signals reflected from the target after radiating radar waves. In addition, day/night and all-weather observations are possible. In this study, an artificial intelligence is used to identify maritime targets based on radar images. Data of radar images of 24 maritime targets in Republic of Korea and North Korea acquired by ISAR were pre-processed, and an artificial intelligence algorithm(ResNet-50) was applied. The accuracy of maritime targets identification showed about 99%. Out of the 81 warship types, 75 types took less than 5 seconds, and 6 types took 15 to 163 seconds.

The range profile is easily obtainable and promising feature vector in the aspect of real-time radar target recognition system. However, the range profile is highly dependent on a aspect angle of a target and this dependence make it difficult the recognition over wide-angular region. In this paper, we propose the classifier with subclass concept in order to solve this dependence problem. Recognition results using six aircraft models measured at compact range facility are presented to show the effectiveness of this proposed classifier over wide-angular region.

An airborne radar is an essential aviation electronic system of the aircraft to perform various missions in all weather environments. This paper presents the design, development, and test results of the multi-mode pulsed Doppler radar system test model for helicopter-borne flight test. This radar system consists of 4 LRU units, which include ANTU(Antenna Unit), TRU(Tx Rx Unit), RSDU(Radar Signal & Data Processing Unit) and DISU(Display Unit). The developed technologies include the TACCAR processor, planar array antenna, TWTA transmitter, coherent I/Q detector, digital pulse compression, DSP based Doppler FFT filtering, adaptive CFAR, IMU, and tracking capability. The design performance of the developed radar system is verified through various helicopter-borne field tests including MTD (Moving Target Detector) capability for the Doppler compensation due to the moving platform motion.

The system performance of naval multi function radar is affected by radar beam operation. Multi f function radar has to operate complicated beam better than search radar and tracking radar which have single operation. This paper describes fabricating analysis tool for the verification method for system performance of naval multi function radar. We composed the model that naval ship with MFR and radar which are detecting targets to verification the system performance. The targets are composed anti-aircraft and anti-ship. We integrate each model and make naval MFR simulator that applied resource management of track beam and search beam. We verify analysis tool by simulation in operating scenario after adjusting system parameter to analysis tool.

This paper presents a simulator developed for effective use of chaff which is widely employing for aircraft protection. We calculate the scattered electric field based on the aircraft and the chaff RCS. Input parameters calculated using Matlab are forwarded to the input module of the presented simulator which provides a three dimensional display fur the three different scenarios.

Multilateration(MLAT) may complement secondary surveillance radar and also act as a real-time backup for the ADS-B system. This System is using time difference of arrival (TDOA) and based on triangulation principle. Each TDOA measurement defines a hyperbola describing possible aircraft locations. The accuracy in MLAT system depends on the positional relationship of the receiver and aircraft. There are various algorithms to localize aircraft based on TOA estimation. In this paper, we use least square method and extended Kalman filter and compare their results. Study results show that the extend Kalman filter provides a better performance than the least square method.

In this paper, the computation of electromagnetic wave scattering is presented for chaff clouds which is widely used to protect an aircraft. The RCS depends on the wind, the aircraft velocity, and the atmospheric diffusion. It is assumed that the RF chaff is a thin dipole antenna and the RCS is calculated based on the scattering wave theory. The theoretical estimation and the simulation results are compared and shown a good agreement.

Due to the influence of Han-la Mountain which is located at the center of Jeju Island, a radar blind sector has been appearing in the south-east, low-altitude area of Jeju Island. Thus, the region is perilous for aircraft using surveillance in this area with the existing radar equipment that is currently available. In addition, as the popularity for domestic leisure aviation is on the rise, the safety in low-altitude area should be guaranteed. Where not only IFR flights but also VFR flights are mainly used. Therefore, immediate measures to the present state of radar blind sector in Jeju Island should be taken into serious account. Regarding the circumstances, this study's purpose is to help secure the aviation safety in Jeju region by analyzing the current air traffic surveillance system in Jeju Island and comprehending its vulnerable factors. Moreover, this study compares secondary radar surveillance system, ADS-B and MLAT(Multilateration) system with factors based on the guidance materials from ICAO Asia and Pacific region office to suggests an adequate surveillance technology considering the regional characteristics of Jeju.

As global warming becoming an environmentally serious issue, more attention is drawn to fuel consumption which is the direct source of green house gas emission. The fuel consumption by aircraft operation is not an exception. Motivated by the societal and environmental context, this paper explains a method for estimation of aircraft fuel consumed during their flights as well as the computational process using real flight track data. Applying so-called 'Total Energy Model' along with aircraft specific parameters provided in EUROCONTROL's Base of Aircraft Data (BADA) to aircraft radar track data, we estimate fuel consumption of individual aircraft flown between Gimpo and Jeju airports. We then assess the estimation accuracy by comparing the estimated fuel consumption with the actual one collected from an airline. The computational results are quite encouraging in that the method is able to estimate the actual fuel consumption within ${\pm}6{\sim}11%$ of error margin. The limitations and possible enhancements of the method are also discussed.
