With the various usage of civil drones, such as hobby, filmmaking and surveillance, the need for technology that safely reconstructs software for target application domains has been increasingly rising. In order to support a reliable software integration of avionic systems, the ARINC 653 standard has been proposed and adapted mainly on manned aircrafts. Therefore, applying ARINC 653 on civil drones could be desirable. Though, various researches on implementing ARINC 653 has been conducted, there are still additional requirements to apply ARINC 653 to civil drones that use various platforms and have a wide range of use. In this paper, taking account of these requirements, we implement a portable and extensible ARINC 653 and analyze its performance. We offer the portability with the OS abstraction layer that reduces dependency on a specific operating system, and provide the design that can extend internal functions, such as partition scheduler and process scheduler.

This paper presents a technique for real time multiprocessor parallel processing to develop an avionic system computer(ASC) which integrates the avionics control, navigation and fire control, cursive and raster graphic symbol generation into one line replaceable unit. The proposed method has optimal performance by adopting a logically asymmetric structure between four 32bit RISC processors based on the master-slave multiprocessing, a tightly coupled interaction level with the time shared common bus and global memory, and an efficient bus arbitration algorithm. The ASC has been verified through a series of flight tests. The relevant tests also have been rigorously conducted on the prototype ASC such as electrical test, environmental test, and electromagnetic interference test.

We propose an application of the Object-Oriented design methodology to develop operational flight program(OFP) for stores management computer(SMC) which manages and controls stores inventory, stores activation, launch for missiles, and release of the conventional weapons. For the development of SMC, a military version of PowerPC 603e is used as a central processing unit board and VxWorks real-time operating system is used. The Tornado software development environment(SDE) and the programming language Ada95 are used for OFP development. We design three layerd in the OFP for the independency of the software modules. An avionics system computer(ASC) simulator and a test bench are developed for the SMC integration test and verification test. And the tests are rigorously and successfully conducted.

As avionics and mechanical devices have been developed, the size of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is getting smaller. However, the complicated and accurate missions are provided to the UAV. Among various types of UAVs, quadrotors are widely used for their availability by virtue of simple structure and hovering function. However, the control of quadrotor is highly constrained, because the quadrotor is an under-actuated system which has only 4 actuator inputs. To deal with this under-actuated problem, a new quadrotor model with two more actuators in addition to the 4 propeller inputs is provided to make the system fully-actuated. For the proposed model, a controller is designed using feedback linearization methods. To validate the model and to verify the performance of the proposed controller, numerical simulation is performed.

This paper dealt with the fabrication and performance evaluation of the electronics housing made of lightweight composite materials, aiming at the enhancement of satellite mass savings by replacing conventional aluminum alloy widely used for satellite avionics with lightweight composite material. For this purpose, a fabrication process was designed to overcome low machinability of CFRP and to minimize the post-treatment. The composite housing with grid-stiffened and monolithic frame was made using co-curing method. Its performance was also evaluated regarding endurance, stiffness, thermal conductivity, electrical grounding, EMI protection and radiation shielding. The composite housing can provide the considerable mass savings over the aluminum housing with same dimension.

MC(Mission Computer) performs important function in avionics system which tactic data processing, image processing and managing navigation system etc. In general, the fault of SPOF(Single Point Of Failure) in unity system can lead to failure of whole system. It can cause a failure of a mission and also can threaten to the life of the pilot. So, in this paper, we design the HA(Hight-availability) system so that dealing with the failure. And we use HA software like Heartbeat, Fake, DRBD and Bonding to manage HA system. Also we analyze the performance of HA system using the FDT(Fault Detection Time) for fast fault detection and MTTR(Mean Time To Repair) for mission continuity.

In this paper, proposes a health status monitoring system for socially marginalized elderly households living alone. This system is implemented by collecting various PHR biometric signals and residential environment information through IoT devices. In addition, the company aims to establish a basic infrastructure that can understand the situation of lonely deaths and implement prevention programs by strengthening the predictive ability through data analysis of the DB server based on PHR and information collected from IoT sensors. The sensor consists of an environmental information collection sensor and a noncontact and wearable sensor for biometric signal collection. A gateway is required to transmit the collected data to the server, and the prototype is presented in this paper. The paper has a discussion purpose of policy task for expanding medical welfare service. The results of this study are believed to help expand services to the socially marginalized and improve the medical environment of the people.

This paper presents the technique to develop an operational flight program(OFP) of avionic system computer(ASC) which integrates the avionics control, navigation and fire control and provides informations for flight, navigation and weapon aiming missions. For the development of the OFP of ASC, two i960KB chips are used as central processing units board and standard computer interface library(SCIL) which is built in house is used. The Irvine compiler corporation(ICC) integrated development environment(IDE) and the programming language Ada95 are used for the OFP development. We designed the OFP to a computer software configuration item(CSCI) which consists of to three parts for independency of software modules. The OFP has been verified through a series of flight tests. The relevant tests also have been rigorously conducted on the OFP such as software integrated test, and ground functional test.

In this paper, we propose a texture classification using wavelet-domain BDIP (block difference of inverse probabilities) and BVLC (block variance of local correlation coefficients) features with WPCA (whitened principal component analysis) classifier. In the proposed method, the wavelet transform is first applied to a query image. The BDIP and BVLC operators are next applied to the wavelet subbands. Global moments for each subband of BDIP and BVLC are then computed and fused into a feature vector. In classification, the WPCA classifier, which is usually adopted in the face identification, searches the training feature vector most similar to the query feature vector. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields excellent texture classification with low feature dimension for test texture image DBs.

Employing PTAS to building minimum spanning tree for a large number of equal distribution input terminal nodes can be a effective way in execution time. But applying PTAS to building minimum spanning tree for tremendous unequal distribution node may lead to performance degradation. In this paper, a partial PTAS reflecting the scheme into specific node dense area is presented. In the environment where 90% of 50,000 input terminal nodes stand close together in specific area, approximate minimum spanning tree by our proposed scheme can show about 88.49% execution time less and 0.86%tree length less than by existing PTAS, and about 87.57%execution time less and 1.18% tree length more than by Prim's naive scheme. Therefore our scheme can go well to many useful applications where a multitude of nodes gathered around specific area should be connected efficiently as soon as possible.
