This study covers exploration of seabed around Heuksando Island using hover drones. To do so, we inspected the terrain of the island and set autonomous flight waypoints on each area of the island's shores. Next, we designated seabed scan radius for drones. Then the drones fitted with laser sensor hover autonomously on their assigned area and acquire seabed data. Finally, we match the seabed data on all areas according to GPS. Our final goal is to make immersive VR maritime cultural map based on 『Jasan Urbo』.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve the accuracy for multiple low-cost drones in indoor environment. When the drones are flying, we employ sensors for checking their position in real-time. If the drones move out of their correct positions, the corresponding instructions are sent immediately. In another thread, we calibrate direction of the drones by checking yaw value. The adjustment is repeated until the drones locate at right position and direction.

The drone has the restrictions on the controls, the battery and the surrounding environment in performing missions such as fire extinguishing. This restriction can improve the limitations that leave the leader can be monitored. The existing method of constructing the leader based on the GPS is highly dependent on the signal and is vulnerable to hardware defects. In this paper, we solve these problems with dynamic leaders decision. Drones can use their leader drones rather than remote controls. Information about the drones changes depending on the surrounding environment by replacing the leader with a dead battery or electing leader by the drones themselves without human intervention. This suggests that the leader monitors the community through a framework for continuing the drones collaboration and that the community can collaborate to overcome the limitations and continue the mission. The analysis of the proposed system through simulation experiments confirm that it has a better task performance. By using this system, it is possible to continue the mission and solve problems that are vulnerable to hardware defects.

최근 드론에 대한 관심이 많아지고 드론의 이용이 급증하면서 드론을 배우려는 사람들이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 드론은 조작이 어려우며 재대로 배우지 않는다면 사고가 발생하기 쉽고 드론이 파손되는 경우도 빈번하게 일어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 드론을 안전바에 결속하여 안전사고와 드론의 파손을 방지하고 블록을 통해 센서 및 제어기기를 확장할 수 있는 다목적 드론을 구현하였다.

As sensors such as Inertial Measurement Unit, cameras, and Light Detection and Rangings have become cheaper and smaller, research has been actively conducted to implement functions automating micro aerial vehicles such as multirotor type drones. This would fully enable the autonomous flight of drones in the real world without human intervention. In this article, we present a survey of state-of-the-art development on autonomous drones. To build an autonomous drone, the essential components can be classified into pose estimation, environmental perception, and obstacle-free trajectory generation. To describe the trend, we selected three leading research groups-University of Pennsylvania, ETH Zurich, and Carnegie Mellon University-which have demonstrated impressive experiment results on automating drones using their estimation, perception, and trajectory generation techniques. For each group, we summarize the core of their algorithm and describe how they implemented those in such small-sized drones. Finally, we present our up to date research status on developing an autonomous drone.

Drones, which were early operated by remote control, have evolved to enable autonomous flight by combining various sensors and software tools. In particular, autonomous flight of drones was possible since the application of GNSS-RTK (global navigation satellite system with real-time kinematic positioning), a precision satellite navigation technology. For instance, unmanned drone delivery based on GNSS-RTK data was demonstrated for pizza delivery in Korea for the first time in 2021. However, the vulnerabilities of GNSS-RTK should be overcome for delivery drones to be commercialized. In particular, jamming in the navigation system and low positioning accuracy in urban areas should be addressed. Solving these two problems can lead to stable flight, takeoff, and landing of drones in urban areas, and the corresponding solutions are expected to establish a hybrid positioning technology. We discuss current trends in hybrid positioning technology that can either replace or complement GNSS-RTK for stable drone autonomous flight.

The purpose of this study is to verify the stable flight conditions of drones within a limited urban area by using the ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) reich model which is using to evaluate civil aircraft stability. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, in order for the drones flying stably, the horizontal safety separation distance between a drone and another should be at least 1,852M. Second, assuming that no obstacles within 1,852M of horizontal space, two drones can be fly into upper and lower spaces. However there are obstacles such as buildings, it is impossible to secure a 1,852M distance between drones. Third, sensitivity analysis point out that the separation interval($s_x$) of drone aviation has the greatest influence on the TLS(Target Level of Safety). If future research is conducted to lower the numerical values, the safety distance between a drone and another drone will be drastically reduced, allowing more detailed urban space division, and will be presented as a scientific numerical value for establishing a dedicated path for the drones.

The importance of each warfighting function for Army TIGER unit attack drones is measured using the AHP technique. As a result, the importance of attack drones is high in the order of maneuver, firepower, intelligence, command/control, protection, and operation sustainment, but the importance of maneuver, firepower, and intelligence are almost similar. In addition, it is analyzed that attack drones capable of carrying out day and night missions by being equipped with an EO/IR sensor and being commanded/controlled in conjunction with the C4I system to eliminate threats with small bombs or aircraft collisions is needed. Finally, based on the results of this study, a virtual battle scenario for attack drones is proposed.

정부는 드론을 미래 핵심 성장 동력으로 보고 국가 주도 드론 산업 육성 방안을 마련하고 물품 수송, 산림 보호 및 감시, 시설물 안전 진단 등 다양한 분야에서 시범사업을 하고 드론활용에 적극적이다. 특히, 경찰에서는 실종자 수색을 위해 드론 활용을 시도하고 있으나 기존드론은 배터리 시간의 제약으로 운용시간이 짧고 야산이나 수풀이 우거진 현장에서는 산위에서 항공촬영으로 수색할 수밖에 없어서 효과성이 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 실종자 수색의 한계점을 극복할 수 있는 드론으로서 가상현실을 활용한 FPV(First Person View)드론을 제안하다.

최근 드론은 세계의 주요 전쟁에서 주요한 수단 즉 공격드론으로 활용되고 있으며 향후 게임 체인저로 진화할 개연성이 충분해 보인다. 한편 북한이 근래에 들어 무인기를 활용한 도발이 점증하고 있는 현상을 연관 지어 볼 때 한반도에서 공격드론의 등장도 머지 않은 것으로 보인다. 21세기의 주요 전쟁에서 공격드론은 정밀화력유도 또는 자폭공격, 인지전 등의 목적으로 지상 및 공중은 물론 해상 및 수중으로 그 영역이 확장되고 있다. 이러한 공격드론은 다영역작전을 수행할 것이며 이를 위해 자율화 수준을 향상하고 High-Low Mix 개념에 기반한 확장성을 강화하는 등의 발전을 이어나갈 것이다. 북한 또한 오래전부터 공격드론을 운용하기 위해 상당한 노력을 기울여 왔는데 제3국 급조 자폭드론, 인공지능 기반 군집형 자폭드론, 자폭형 스텔스 무인 반잠수정 등의 활동이 예상된다. 이러한 북한의 도발 및 공격 양상과 더불어 우리 군의 대응방안과 활용방안에 대한 활발한 후속연구가 이루어지길 바란다.
