  • 급격히 증가하는 자동차 수, 발전량 증가 등으로 인하여 미세먼지로 인한 환경오염이 심각한 사회문제로 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 50개가 넘는 국가들이 권고치 이상의 미세먼지로 인해 피해를 받고 있으며 각 피해국들은 미세먼지 저감 대책 및 발생을 최소화하기 위한 방안을 연구하고 있다. 하지만 현재 고정형 미세먼지 취득 드론으로는 다양한 포인트의 미세먼지 데이터를 수집하기 힘든 상황이며, 기존 드론을 활용한 방법에서 도 회전 날개의 영향으로 인해 정확한 데이터를 수집하기 힘든 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 드론과 특정 구조물을 활용한 미세먼지 수집 방법을 제안하고 이의 효율성을 보여주고자 한다.

  • Researchers recognized air pollution changes causing diseases and difficulties in living due to environmental pollution following various human activities, and have studied how to avoid fine dust harmful to the human respiratory system to be healthy. To this end, Arduino is used to equip fine dust level sensors in drones to measure the fine dust levels, visualize the measurements with LED indicator colors depending on the measurements to inform users of the danger of fine dust, and use the benefits of drones to specify dangerous fine dust zones and measure the fine dust levels. Users can see the changes depending on the fine dust levels in real time with the LED indicators. This will contributes to measuring fine dust levels easily in dangerous areas. Mission Planner (ArduPilot) is used to set up the GPS of drone, and store the data from the dust sensor as contents. This study aims to establish a method for improving the environment to measure fine dust levels with drones with LED indicators for fine dust, and reduce fine dust.

  • Since the UAS(Unmanned Aircraft System) or Drone is expected to grow rapidly with the advent of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution era, the EU, China, and Japan as well as United States have deveoped a national roadmap and actively fostered UAS related industries. Also, in Korea, the frequencies of 2,670 MHz bandwidth has been also supplied newly or additionaly in 2016 for Drones in order to activate promising a new UAS industry based on wireless communication, which has great potential for future industrial growth. Therefore, in this paper, some solutions to promote UAS industry has been proposed by analyzing the domestic trends, the major technologies, the frequency issues, and the law framework for UAS.

  • With the growing importance of the fishery industry and the rapid growth of the aquaculture industry, research on smart farms through ICT convergence in the aquaculture field is in progress. To enable monitoring of the growing environment at the farm site, an underwater drone drive unit, an image collection device, an integrated controller for posture stabilization, and a remote control device capable of controlling and controlling drones through real-time underwater images were proposed, and design, development, and tests were conducted. By utilizing underwater drones, it is possible to replace the supply and demand of manpower and high-cost work in the aquaculture industry, and to manage fish farms in a stable manner by reducing the probability of farming deaths.

  • Recently, drones are being used in various fields, and drone technology is also developing. The risks of drones are increasing, then technology to detect drones is important. However, it is extremely difficult to detect and recognize drones due to the low level radar cross section of the commercial drones. In this paper, a signal processor structure that was mounted the miniaturized and light-weighted was designed. in order to process large amounts of data in real time, parallel processing was performed for each channel and an algorithm was applied to shorten the operation time in each step. As a test of verifing the detection performance through test, it was confirmed that the structure design works in real time.

  • The drone's battery system uses lithium-ion or lithium-polymer batteries, and it is known that the cause of fire during the disposal process after using the drone is combustible gas from the battery being discarded. Most of the batteries in the disposal process generated oxygen, but a small amount of flammable gas was also generated, and a large amount of chlorine ions and sulfates were also detected in the equipment used for treatment. If a system that detects this early is configured, it will be possible to reduce the risk of accidents caused by discarded batteries.

  • In this paper, we proposes the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques to enable quadcopter drones to effectively follow paths and maintain flight safety even under dynamic external environments and disturbances. Through simulations conducted in MATLAB/Simulink, the performance of two controllers, PID and MPC, is compared in flight scenarios with disturbances. The proposed design method shows that the MPC controller, when compared to the PID controller, exhibits a difference in the Mean Squared Error between the intended flight path and the actual path of the quadcopter drone. This difference is 0.2 in performance under no disturbance, and it increases to 0.8 under disturbance, demonstrating the improved path following accuracy of the MPC controller.

  • In order to meet performance requirements specified by the ICAO in drone operation, a system that provides augmentation information such as SBAS is needed. However, the operating range of the drone is limited in situation where the drone can not received the SBAS message continuously. In this paper, we propose a system to transmit SBAS augmentation message using a separate communication channel assuming the SBAS satellite signal to the drone has been shielded. We implemented the proposed system and verified its performance in the static environment. The DGPS positioning results showed that the accuracy difference is about 10cm, which means the accuracy performance was very similar. In addition, the protection level calculated by the system also shows the difference within 2m from the value calculated by the airborne receiver.

  • In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic slot re-assignment scheme for swarming drone networks in which networks members merged and split frequently. The leader drone of each network recognizes the slot allocation information of neighbor networks by periodic information exchange among between the drones. Using the information, the leader drone makes a decision how to reallocate the slots between members in case of network merge. The non-competitive method in the proposed scheme can re-assign the slots without any slot collision and shows always superior performance than competitive scheme. The competitive method in the proposed scheme reduces the number of slots that should be re-assigned in case of network merge. The experimental performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme performs better or at least equal to the performance of the competitive scheme in a swarming drone network.

  • The cadastre in Korea was established with the outdated technology of the Japanese colonial period, and thus currently 15% of the Korea domestic land does not match the cadastral map. Accordingly, the government has been establishing the Korean cadastre under the name of 'Cadastral Re-investigation Project' and is changing the origin of the survey to the world geodetic system. Assuming that the project is completed, we propose a drone boundary survey method that can be used to easily survey using the exact digital cadastral information. The developed mobile GCS application can control the drone and acquire the boundary point coordinates recorded in the cadastre, and the drone automatically flies to mark the boundary points. The developed prototype of drone made a tour along the 6 boundary points in 2 minutes.
