An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a powered pilotless aircraft, which is controlled remotely or autonomously. UAVs are an attractive alternative for many scientific and military organizations. UAVs can perform operations that are considered to be risky or uninhabitable for human. UA V s are currently employed in many military missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, enemy radar jamming, decoying, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), fixed and moving target attack, and air-to-air combat. UAVs also are employed in a number of civilian applications such as monitoring ozone depletion, inclement weather, traffic congestion, and taking images of dangerous territory. For accomplishing the UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is to suggest a mathematical programming model and a $A^*PS$-PGA (A-star with Post Smoothing-Parallel Genetic Algorithm) for an UAV's path planning to maximize survivability. A mathematical programming model is composed by using MRPP (Most Reliable Path Problem) and TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem). A path planning algorithm for UAV is applied by transforming MRPP into SPP (Shortest Path Problem).

A plan for the development of reliability-based ROK amphibious assault vehicles is proposed. By analyzing the development case of the U.S. EFV, considerations for the successful development of the next-generation Korea Forces amphibious assault vehicle are presented. If the vehicle reliability can be improved to the level of the fourth highest priority electric unit for power units, suspensions, decelerators, and body groups, which have the highest priority among fault frequency items, a system level MTBF of 36.4%↑ can be achieved, and the operational availability can be increased by 3.5%↑. The next-generation amphibious assault vehicles must fulfill certain operating and performance requirements, the underlying systems must be built, and sequencing of the hybrid engine and the modular concept should be considered. Along with big-data- and machine-learning-based failure prediction, machine maintenance based on augmented reality/virtual reality and remote maintenance should be used to improve the ability to maintain combat readiness and reduce lifecycle costs.

무기체계 획득 프로그램에서 개념설계는 개발대상체계의 군사적 활용목적을 구체화하고, 이를 구현하기 위한 요구사항 수립 및 향후 개발방향을 결정하는 가장 중요한 단계이다. 하지만 미래 지상전투차량 또는 로봇의 개념설계 시 개발 경험 또는 문헌사례 부족, 등을 이유로 초기단계에서 요구사항과 개발방향을 잘못 수립할 경우 이는 향후단계에서 설계오류로 작용될 수 있다. 이는 획득 프로그램에서 위험으로 작용될 수 있으며, 이를 바로잡기 위해서는 비용, 노력, 기간이 요구된다. 미래지상전투차량을 효과적으로 획득하기 위해서는 초기 개발단계에서부터 발생하는 오류를 줄일 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문은 이 오류를 줄이기 위해서 개념설계과정에서 수립된 요구사항과 설계방향의 물리적 실현 가능성을 체계 수준의 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하고, 이 시뮬레이션 결과를 활용해 가상의 체계성능을 도출하는 방안에 대해 기술한다. 체계 수준의 모델링 및 시뮬레이션은 최신 설계 기법인 모델기반설계와 형상기반설계 도구를 활용하며, 체계성능은 체계 수준 물리적 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 결과와 기존의 체계 성능분석 전문소프트웨어 연계를 통해 도출된다.

미래형 전투체계를 구현하기 위해 전력화가 진행중인 육군 Army TIGER체계는 기동화, 네트워크화, 지능화 등 육군의 전투방식과 전투수행능력에 혁신적인 변화가 예상된다. 이를 위해 육군은 드론, 로봇, 무인차량, 인공지능 등이 적용된 다양한 무기체계를 도입하여 전투에 활용할 것이며, 다양한 무인체와 인공지능의 활용은 신기술이 적용된 장비의 육군 내 도입과 다양한 종류의 전송정보, 즉 데이터 증가가 예상된다. 하지만 현재 육군에서는 기능별 Army TIGER 전력화체계를 활용한 전투수행방안 중심의 연구 및 전투실험에 집중하고 있는 반면, Army TIGER 부대별로 증가되는 무인체와 무인체에서 생산, 전송되는 데이터에 따른 사이버위협 및 신규체계 전력화에 따라 구축되는 클라우드 센터, AI지휘통제실 등에 대한 정보체계를 대상으로한 사이버보안 대응방안 연구는 추진하지 못하는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 육군 Army TIGER 전력화체계의 구조 및 특성을 분석하여 장차 사이버위협에 대응 가능한 『Army TIGER 사이버 방호체계』구축 필요성 및 적용 가능한 사이버보안 기술에 대한 제언을 하고자 한다.

For the autonomous navigation of an unmanned ground vehicle in the rough terrain and combat, the dust environment should necessarily be overcome. Therefore, we propose a robust obstacle detection methodology using laser range sensor and radar. Laser range sensor has a good angle and distance accuracy, however, it has a weakness in the dust environment. On the other hand, radar has not better the angle and distance accuracy than laser range sensor, it has a robustness in the dust environment. Using these characteristics of laser range sensor and radar, we use laser range sensor as a main sensor for normal times and radar as a assist sensor for the dust environment. For fusion of laser range sensor and radar information, the angle and distance data of the laser range sensor and radar are separately transformed to the angle and distance data of virtual range sensor which is located in the center of the vehicle. Through distance comparison of laser range sensor and radar in the same angle, the distance data of a fused virtual range sensor are changed to the distance data of the laser range sensor, if the distance of laser range sensor and radar are similar. In the other case, the distance data of the fused virtual range sensor are changed to the distance data of the radar. The suggested methodology is verified by real experiment.

This paper describes the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) process of a tailless unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) using global variable fidelity aerodynamic analysis. The developed tailless UAV design framework combines multiple disciplines that are based on low-fidelity and empirical analysis methods. An automated high-fidelity aerodynamic analysis is efficiently integrated into the MDO framework. Global variable fidelity modeling algorithm manages the use of the high-fidelity analysis to enhance the overall accuracy of the MDO by providing the initial sampling of the design space with iterative refinement of the approximation model in the neighborhood of the optimum solution. A design formulation was established considering a specific aerodynamic, stability and control design features of a tailless aircraft configuration with a UCAV specific mission profile. Design optimization problems with low-fidelity and variable fidelity analyses were successfully solved. The objective function improvement is 14.5% and 15.9% with low and variable fidelity optimization respectively. Results also indicate that low-fidelity analysis overestimates the value of lift-to-drag ratio by 3-5%, while the variable fidelity results are equal to the high-fidelity analysis results by algorithm definition.

This paper deals with experimental investigation of active flow control via synthetic jets using an unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) planform. Fourteen arrays of synthetic jets, mounted along both leading edges, were fully or partially activated to increase aerodynamic efficiency and reduce pitch-up moment. The measurements were carried out using a six-component external balance, a pressure scanner, and tuft flow visualization. It was observed that aerodynamic efficiency (L/D) and pitching moment were clearly affected by the location of jets. In particular, inboard and outboard actuation could effectively increase L/D. Moreover, inboard actuation showed a reduction in the pitch-up, even more than that generated by the full actuation. These results suggest that inboard actuation not only effectively increases L/D but also reduces the pitch-up using only a few actuators.

Nowadays, Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle(UCAV) has become an important aircraft system for the national defense. For its efficiency and survivability, shape optimization of UCAV is an essential part of its design process. In this paper, shape optimization of UCAV was processed for aerodynamic performance improvement and Radar Cross Section(RCS) reduction using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm(MOGA). Lift and induced drag, friction drag, RCS were calculated using panel method, boundary layer theory, Physical Optics(PO) approximation respectively. In particular, calculation applied Radar Absorbing Material(RAM) was performed for the additional RCS reduction. Results are indicated that shape optimization is performed well for improving aerodynamic performance, reducing RCS. Further study will be performed with higher fidelity tools and consider other design segments including structure.

To get the robust and reliable input command, we designed shaping function for target tracking system with commander's handle. Input signals of the commander's handle are generated by human operator. It is response of the human to reduce the error between target and gun. But, tracking error while operator aim a moving target manually gives poor system performance. Input noise, particularly, affects hit accuracy as the system performance. We proposed the design method of input command shaping to reduce the Input noise and to improve the operation ability and convenience. We performed the experiments with combat vehicle, example of Target Tracking System, to show the proposed method is efficient and practical.
