A modular platform development technique was proposed to minimize development cost and development period by utilizing the already developed unmanned Aerial target AVT, which has been operated and verified for many years. New Mission Profile was designed and structural analysis was performed through finite element analysis (FEA) by analyzing mission requirements for visual short-range, non-visible mid-range, and long-range targets. The targets are used for guided missile anti-aircraft training. In addition, avionics systems including flight control computers for autonomous flights were developed to verify their conformance by performing launcher take-off tests with rapid acceleration changes and autonomous flight tests at a maximum speed of 300km per hour.

Aircraft accidents are characterized by substantial and extensive damage: the destruction of hulls and the fatalities of passengers. Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMSs) are being developed as a technological approach to prevent the aircraft accident. In Korea, a project to develop HUMS for small airplane is being executed by funding of by Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. In this paper, global R&D trends of HUMS to prevent aircraft accident are described. An on-going Korean HUMS project is also explained, especially for system configuration, functionality and expected achievement.

A flare from an Air Force fighter was abnormally dispensed during the landing. To determine the cause of the abnormal dispensing, fracture analysis, signal analysis and reproduction experiments based on physics of failures were performed. The primary cause of the failure was analyzed to be due to an intermittent fault of an internal circuit card in the AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser by a broken lid of a capacitor, and the root cause which had derived the primary cause was considered to be an improper handling during the domestic maintenance which were changed from the overseas maintenance due to the DMSMS problem. Therefore, the overall process of the maintenance capability development system was reviewed and alternative ways that considers maintenance error decision aid(MEDA) for system improvement were suggested to prevent further failures.

In this paper, Propose to prevent compressor surge and improve the transient response of the fuel flow control system of turbojet engine. Turbojet engine controller is designed by applying Fuzzy-PID control algorithm. To prevent any surge or a flame out event during the engine acceleration or deceleration, the Fuzzy-PID controller effectively controls the fuel flow input of the control system. Fuzzy-PID results are used as the fuel flow control inputs to prevent compressor surge and flame-out for turbo-jet engine and the controller is designed to converge to the desired speed quickly and safely. Using LabVIEW to perform computer simulations verified the performance of the proposed controller. Response characteristics pursuant to the gain were analyzed by simulation.

In this paper the detection time of the distress signal for the satellite-based search and rescue (SAR) system is evaluated. Present LEOSAR system in operation employs a few Low-altitude Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and hence provides poor and local coverage availability. This results in a considerably long waiting time for a distress beacon to be detected by a rescue mission control center. One can expect that the detection time of the distress signal will be significantly reduced if the proposed MEOSAR system, which is based on the Medium-altitude Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, is implemented. Taking into account the influence of the obstacles on the beacon signal, simulations are carried out to evaluate the detection time of distress signals for the LEOSAR and MEOSAR systems and the corresponding results are analyzed.

Mission Equipment Package(MEP) system is a collection of avionic components that are integrated to perform the mission of the Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH). Built In Test(BIT) reduces the need for skilled personnel and special test equipment, and reduces maintenance down-time of system. The increasing complexity of avionics equipments has resulted in an increased need to provide BIT functions. This paper describe the development and verification for the KUH MEP system BIT.

In this paper, the performances of various channel estimation schemes for DVB-H system are investigated. The linear interpolation, the second order interpolation, the cubic spline interpolation, and the time-domain interpolation, which are used in frequency domain, are chosen as the channel estimation schemes. We derived the performances of Mean Square Error (MSE), Bit Error Rate (BER), and the complexity of calculation in Rayleigh and Rician fading channel through computer simulations. From the simulation results, the cubic spline interpolation shows the best performance under high $E_b/N_0$ environments.

As a cornerstone of the next generation air traffic management (ATM), automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) system can provide continual broadcast of aircraft position, identity, velocity and other messages over unencrypted data links to generate a common situational awareness picture for ATM. However, since ADS-B messages are unauthenticated, it is easy to insert fake aircrafts into the system via spoofing or insertion of false messages. Unfortunately, the authentication for ADS-B messages has not yet been well studied. In this paper, we propose an efficient broadcast authentication scheme with batch verification for ADS-B messages which employs an identity-based signature (IBS). Security analysis indicates that our scheme can achieve integrity and authenticity of ADS-B messages, batch verification, and resilience to key leakage. Performance evaluation demonstrates that our scheme is computationally efficient for the typical avionics devices with limited resources, and it has low communication overhead well suitable for low-bandwidth ADS-B data link.

Surveillance is an enabler of safety with respect to aircraft separation and as a consequence capacity and efficiency with respect to aircraft operations. The new emerging technology among modern civil aviation surveillance is Multilateration (MLAT) which would affect on the surveillance capacity with both side of surveillance signal and operational properties. Multilateration system is needed to receive the signal which must reach at least 3 ground receivers simultaneously and has the effect that will have on with the ultimate accuracy. In this paper, the principle and the system configuration are reviewed. And its benefit of development is considered with use in situations where it is difficult to locate tranditional radar. This MLAT requires no additional avionics equipment to supply service with more accurate and less expensive. And it is able to enhance performance that meets international standards and extend the investment of air navigation service providers with reducing environmental impact by utilizing a small footprint on existing structures. Finally, it can be added to meet a wide range of coverage requirements and future surveillance needs.

Though the functions and operational procedures of current ACAS-II are upgraded several times owing to technical advancement, so far the mid-air collision accidents never come to an end. Recently to solve the major issues of ACAS-II, ICAO began to develop a future ACAS (Airborne Collision Avoidance System) by the year 2015. Accordingly in order to prepare for international standardization of the future ACAS, in this paper a policy is proposed for domestic implementation of the future ACAS based on the results from studying the technical standards and future development trends of ACAS.
