This paper presents an algorithm for planning waypoints for the operation of a surveillance mission using cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a given map. This algorithm is rather simple and intuitive; therefore, this algorithm is easily applied to actual scenarios as well as easily handled by operators. It is assumed that UAVs do not possess complete information about targets; therefore, kinematics, intelligence, and so forth of the targets are not considered when the algorithm is in operation. This assumption is reasonable since the algorithm is solely focused on a surveillance mission. Various parameters are introduced to make the algorithm flexible and adjustable. They are related to various cost functions, which is the main idea of this algorithm. These cost functions consist of certainty of map, waypoints of co-worker UAVs, their own current positions, and a level of interest. Each cost function is formed by simple and intuitive equations, and features are handled using the aforementioned parameters.

Current low-altitude radar system often fails to detect small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) because of their small radar cross section (RCS) compared with larger targets. As a potential alternative, a passive bistatic radar system has been considered. We study an optimal deployment problem for the passive bistatic radar system. We model this problem as a covering problem, and develop an integer programming model. The objective of the model is to maximize coverage of a passive bistatic radar system. Our model takes into account factors specific to a bistatic radar system, including bistatic RCS and transmitter-receiver pair coverage. Considering bistatic RCS instead of constant RCS is important because the slight difference of RCS value for small UAVs could significantly influence the detection probability. The paired radar coverage is defined by using the concept of gradual coverage and cooperative coverage to represent a realistic environment.

The high-altitude and mobility characteristics of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have made them a key element of new radio systems, particularly because they can exceed the limits of terrestrial networks. However, at high altitudes, UAVs can be significantly affected by intercell interference at a high line-of-sight probability. To mitigate this drawback, we propose an algorithm that selects the optimal beam to reduce interference and maximize transmission efficiency. The proposed algorithm comprises two steps: constructing a user-location-based fingerprint database according to the user types presented herein and cooperative beam selection. Simulations were conducted using cellular cooperative downlink systems for analyzing the performance of the proposed method, and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise cumulative distribution function and spectral efficiency cumulative distribution function were used as performance analysis indicators. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm could reduce the effect of interference and increase the performance of the desired signal. Moreover, the algorithm could efficiently reduce overheads and system cost by reducing the amount of resources required for information exchange.

전장에서의 무인기 활용이 시작된 이후 무인기는 기만, 정찰, 공격 등 다양한 임무에 투입되어 인간을 대신하여 성공적인 임무를 수행하여 왔다. 과거, 기술의 제한으로 자율적 임무수행이나 유인기와의 협업을 통한 임무는 불가하였으나 데이터 통신, 인공지능 등의 기술 발전으로 인하여 자율임무 수행은 물론 유무인 협업을 통한 시너지 효과를 창출하는 수준까지 발전하였다. 본 연구에서는 공군의 항공우주작전 중 공대공 임무를 중심으로 유무인 협업이 가능한 임무를 식별하였으며, 많은 공대공 임무 중 가장 핵심이면서 기본 작전으로 판단된 전투기소탕에 관한 유무인 협업 전술 개발을 연구하였다. 전투기소탕 작전 중에서도 유무인 협업을 통한 비스텔스기 대응과 스텔스기 대응 전술로 구분하여 연구를 진행하였으며, 이후 간단한 공학시뮬레이션을 통하여 제시한 전술의 실효성(임무 성공과 유무인기 생존 가능성)을 증명하였다.

As an essential part of the urban transportation system, precise perception of the traffic flow parameters at the traffic signal intersection ensures traffic safety and fully improves the intersection's capacity. Traditional detection methods of road traffic flow parameter can be divided into the micro and the macro. The microscopic detection methods include geomagnetic induction coil technology, aerial detection technology based on the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and camera video detection technology based on the fixed scene. The macroscopic detection methods include floating car data analysis technology. All the above methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Recently, indoor location methods based on wireless signals have attracted wide attention due to their applicability and low cost. This paper extends the wireless signal indoor location method to the outdoor intersection scene for traffic flow parameter estimation. In this paper, the detection scene is constructed at the intersection based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging technology extracted from the wireless signal. We extracted the RSSI data from the wireless signals sent to the road side unit (RSU) by the vehicle nodes, calibrated the RSSI ranging model, and finally obtained the traffic flow parameters of the intersection entrance road. We measured the average speed of traffic flow through multiple simulation experiments, the trajectory of traffic flow, and the spatiotemporal map at a single intersection inlet. Finally, we obtained the queue length of the inlet lane at the intersection. The simulation results of the experiment show that the RSSI ranging positioning method based on wireless signals can accurately estimate the traffic flow parameters at the intersection, which also provides a foundation for accurately estimating the traffic flow state in the future era of the Internet of Vehicles.

This paper proposes a linear distributed target tracking filter for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) sharing their passive sensor measurements through communication channels. Different from the conventional nonlinear filtering schemes, the distributed passive target tracking problem is newly formulated within the framework of a linear robust state estimation theory incorporated with a linear uncertain measurement equation including the coordinate transform uncertainty. To effectively cope with the performance degradation due to the coordinate transform uncertainty, a linear consistent robust Kalman filter(CRKF) theory is devised and applied for designing a distributed passive target tracking filter. Through the simulations for typical UAV surveillance mission, the superior performance of the proposed method over the existing schemes of distributed passive target tracking are demonstrated.

본 연구는 폐석적치장 하부 경사지에서 발생하고 있는 지반변위를 조사하고 산사태에 의한 재해 가능성에 대해 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 무인 항공기 사진측량을 실시하여 지반변위의 크기와 범위를 조사하였다. 2019년 4월부터 2020년 7월까지 5회의 무인 항공기 측량의 평균 오차율은 0.011 - 0.034 m이었으며, 토층의 이동으로 2.97 m의 표고 변화가 발생하였다. 급경사지 중 일부 구역만 표고 변화를 보이며 이것은 상부의 폐석 하중의 영향보다는 강우 시 발생한 지하수에 의한 땅밀림에 의한 것으로 판단된다. LS-RAPID 시뮬레이션을 위한 민감도 분석을 실시하였으며, 지형자료로서 DEM과 DSM을 각각 10 m, 5 m, 4 m 격자로 적용하여 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 공간 해상도가 높은 자료를 이용하면 DEM에서는 산사태 물질의 퇴적 범위가 지나치게 확대되는 경향을 보인 반면, 지형을 세밀하게 반영한 DSM을 적용한 결과에서는 공간 해상도 변하여도 확산범위는 크게 영향을 받지 않으며 하천형상에 따른 퇴적 거동을 정밀하게 표현할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 DEM보다 DSM을 적용하는 것이 퇴적범위가 크게 확대되지 않으며, 현장상황을 잘 반영한 결과가 얻어지는 것으로 평가되었다.
