최근 KF-X (Korean Fighter eXperimental)사업에서 AESA (Active electronically scanned array) 레이다, EO-IR (electro-optical and infrared) 및 IRST (infra-red search and track) 센서 등의 개발이 진행되고 있으며 현재 AESA 레이더는 비행 시험을 위한 사전 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 AESA 레이다 개발에 따른 선진국의 FTB(Flying Test Bed) 항공기 운영 사례를 중점 분석하고, 이 사례를 중심으로 국내 레이다 개발 시험을 위한 비행시험 항공기의 선정 시 요구사항과 고려사항을 검토하였다. 그에 따른 우리는 FTB 항공기가 국내 환경에서 운영하기 위한 감항 관련 국내 관련 법규를 검토하고 FTB 항공기의 운영하기 위한 방안을 살펴본다. 따라서 우리는 국내 환경에 적합한 FTB 항공기 선정, 감항 및 운영 방안을 제시하고 한다.

Recently avionics equipment and its integration are most important part for implementing high performance aircraft system. This trends are emphasized in the military or special purpose aircraft development program. Flight Test Bed Aircraft (hereafter FTB A/C) - by modified commercial aircraft - was key solution to verify function and performance of avionics system for complex aircraft development program for a while, but there are no experience to use it in domestic airspace of ROK. This paper would like to address what act and regulation is necessary to perform flight operation of FTB A/C with keeping a airworthiness and airspace control policy. and then willing to propose what do we do for improving aviation industry.

This paper describes a progressive test and evaluation strategy for verification of Korean Fighter eXperimental (KF-X) AESA(Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar development. Three progressive stages of development test and evaluation were officially performed from simulated test conditions to actual operating conditions according to standards: radar function/performance and avionics integration. KF-X AESA radar development is repeatedly verified by progressive stages consisting of five tests: Roof-lab ground test, System Integration Laboratory(SIL) ground test, Flying Test Bed(FTB) test, KF-X ground test, and KF-X flight test. As a result, the risk factor decreases as stages and tests progress. Therefore, development test and evaluation of KF-X AESA radar are successfully performed at low development risk.
