  • In this paper, we suggest an advance method for maintaining a perceived behavior as triangle formation and preventing collision between each other in case of a flying drone. In the existing studies, the collision of the drone is only controlled by using light entered in the camera or the image processing. However, when there is no light, it is difficult to confirm the position of each other and they can collide because this system can not confirm the each other's position. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the system to solve the problems by using the distance and the relative coordinates of the three drones that were determined using the ALPS(Ad hoc network Localized Positioning System) algorithm. This system can be a new algorithm that will prevent collisions between each other during flying the drone object. The proposed algorithm is that we make drones maintaining a determined constant value of the distance between coordinates of each drone and the measured center of the drone of triangle formation. Therefore, if the form of fixed formation is disturbed, they reset the position of the drone so as to keep the distance between each drone and the center coordinates constant. As a result of the simulation, if we use the system where the supposed algorithm is applied, we can expect that it is possible to prevent malfunction or an accident due to collisions by preventing collisions of drones in advanced behavior system.

  • Recently, the drone industry is rapidly expanding as it is suggested that it will be used in various fields. As the size of the drone market grows, interest in drone-related certificates is also increasing. However, the current drone-related qualification system and education system are insufficient. Thus this study, analyzed the necessity of drone training, the features of functional games, and the effectiveness of educational training using AR through related technical studies to solve the practical difficulties of drone educational training. Later, drone educational training game contents using AR were divided into practice mode and test mode based on the drone national qualification course practical test, and the result screen was displayed at the end of the curriculum so that players could learn by level and evaluate the results on their own. In addition, constructed a hybrid processing system and network and AR operation system for response rate and response speed, implemented drone training game contents utilizing AR based on the design contents. It is expected that the use of game content using AR presented in this paper for drone training will further alleviate environmental difficulties and improve the sense of immersion in play, which will lead to a more effective drone educational training experience.

  • As individual and group users actively use drones, the risks (Intrusion, Information leakage, and Sircraft crashes and so on) in no-fly zones are also increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to build a system that can detect drones intruding into the no-fly zone. General acoustic drone detection researches do not derive location-independent performance by directly learning drone sound including environmental noise in a deep learning model to overcome environmental noise. In this paper, we propose a drone detection system that collects sounds including environmental noise, and detects drones by removing noise from target sound. After removing environmental noise from the collected sound, the proposed system predicts the drone sound using Mel spectrogram and CNN deep learning. As a result, It is confirmed that the drone detection performance, which was weak due to unstudied environmental noises, can be improved by more than 7%.

  • Drone remote identification (ID) capability is essential to ensure public safety, help law enforcement, and secure the safety and efficiency of the national airspace. Remote ID technology can be used to differentiate compliant drones from illegal drones that pose a potential security risk by providing airspace awareness to the civil aviation agency and law enforcement entities. In addition, the increased safety and efficiency obtained by mandating remote ID will make it possible to operate drones over populated areas and beyond visual lines of sight. In addition, remote ID will allow drones to be safely integrated into unmanned traffic management systems and the national airspace. Remote ID devices can be categorized by type, i.e., broadcast remote ID or network remote ID. The broadcast remote ID, which has high technical maturity and will be applied in the near future, is primarily considered to ensure the security of drones. The network remote ID, which is being developed and tested and will be applied in the distant future, can be used additionally to ensure the safety and the efficiency of the national airspace. In this paper, we analyze the trends on regulation and standardization activities for drone remote ID primarily in the United State and Europe.

  • In order to operate multi drone efficiently, existing control methods must be improved, and drones must be able to construct communication networks autonomously. FANET(Flying Ad-Hoc Network), which is being considered as an alternative to solving these problems, is based on ad hoc network technology and can be exposed to a variety of security vulnerabilities. However, due to the limited computational power and memory of FANET nodes, and rapid and frequent changes in network topology, it is not easy to apply the existing security measures to FANET without modification. Thus, this paper proposes lightweight security measures applicable to FANET, which have distinct characteristics from existing ad hoc networks by utilizing PUF technology. The proposed security measures utilize unique values generated by non-replicable PUFs to increase the safety of AODV, FANET's reactive routing protocol, and are resistant to various attacks.

  • In this paper, it is necessary to study the bandwidth and network system for efficient image transmission in the current era of drone imaging, and to design routing protocols to round out and cluster two or more multi-drones. First, we want to construct an ad hoc network to control the multidrone. Several studies are underway for the clustering of drones. The aircraft ad hoc network (FANET) is an important foundation for this research. A number of routing protocols have been proposed to design a FANET, and these routing protocols show different performances in various situations and environments. The routing protocol used to design the FANET is tested using the routing protocol used in the existing mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Therefore, we will use MANET to simulate the routing protocol to be used in the FANET, helping to select the optimal routing protocol for future FANET design. Finally, this paper describes the routing protocols that are mainly used in MANET and suitable for FANET, and the performance comparison of routing protocols, which are mainly used in FANET design.

  • In this paper, we present the design and implementation results of a system that classifies drones from other objects using an FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) radar sensor. The proposed system detects various objects through a four-stage signal processing procedure, consisting of FFT, CFAR, clustering, and tracking, using signals received from the radar sensor. Subsequently, a deep learning process is conducted to classify the detected objects as either drones or other objects. To mitigate the high computational demands and extensive memory requirements of deep learning, a BNN (binary neural network) structure was applied, binarizing the CNN (convolutional neural network) operations. The performance evaluation and verification results demonstrated a drone classification accuracy of 89.33%, with a total execution time of 4 ms, confirming the feasibility of real-time operation.

  • In this paper, we propose a real-time drone-based violent protest detection system. Our proposed system uses drones to detect scenes of violent protest in real-time. The important problem is that the victims and violent actions have to be manually searched in videos when the evidence has been collected. Firstly, we focused to solve the limitations of existing collecting evidence devices by using drone to collect evidence live and upload in AWS(Amazon Web Service)[1]. Secondly, we built a Deep Learning based violence detection model from the videos using Yolov3 Feature Pyramid Network for human activity recognition, in order to detect three types of violent action. The built model classifies people with possession of gun, swinging pipe, and violent activity with the accuracy of 92, 91 and 80.5% respectively. This system is expected to significantly save time and human resource of the existing collecting evidence.

  • Recent developments in the use of drones on battlefields, extending beyond reconnaissance to firepower support, have greatly increased the importance of technologies for early automatic drone identification. In this study, to identify an effective image classification model that can distinguish drones from other aerial targets of similar size and appearance, such as birds and balloons, we utilized a dataset of 3,600 images collected from the internet. We adopted a transfer learning approach that combines the feature extraction capabilities of three pre-trained convolutional neural network models (VGG16, ResNet50, InceptionV3) with an additional classifier. Specifically, we conducted a comparative analysis of the performance of these three pre-trained models to determine the most effective one. The results showed that the InceptionV3 model achieved the highest accuracy at 99.66%. This research represents a new endeavor in utilizing existing convolutional neural network models and transfer learning for drone identification, which is expected to make a significant contribution to the advancement of drone identification technologies.

  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can capture high-resolution imagery from a variety of viewing angles and altitudes; they are generally limited to collecting images of small scenes from larger regions. To improve the utility of UAV-appropriated datasetsfor use with deep learning applications, multiple datasets created from variousregions under different conditions are needed. To demonstrate a powerful new method for integrating heterogeneous UAV datasets, this paper applies a combined segmentation network (CSN) to share UAVid and semantic drone dataset encoding blocks to learn their general features, whereas its decoding blocks are trained separately on each dataset. Experimental results show that our CSN improves the accuracy of specific classes (e.g., cars), which currently comprise a low ratio in both datasets. From this result, it is expected that the range of UAV dataset utilization will increase.
