As the organizational size of a military service or business increases and its management becomes complex, the success in its management depends less on static type of management but more on careful, dynamic type of management. In this thesis, an operations research technique is applied to the problems of determining optimal air traffic control rule and of optimal capacity of air base for a military air base. An airport runway is regarded as the service facility in a queueing mechanism, used by landing, low approach, and departing aircraft. The usual order of service gives priority different classes of aircraft such as landings, departures, and low approaches; here service disciplines are considered assigning priorities to different classes of aricraft grouped according to required runway time. Several such priority rules are compared by means of a steady-state queueing model with non-preemptive priorities. From the survey conducted for the thesis development, it was found that the flight pattern such as departure, law approach, and landing within a control zone, follows a Poisson distribution and the service time follows an Erlang distribution. In the problem of choosing the optimal air traffic control rule, the control rule of giving service priority to the aircraft with a minimum average waiting cost, regardless of flight patterns, was found to be the optimal one. Through a simulation with data collected at K-O O Air Base, the optimal take-off interval and the optimal capacity of aircraft to be employed were determined.

Automatic Rudder Trim System(ARTS) is a device to reduce the pilot's work load for rudder trimming greatly required in varying abruptly aircraft's engine power. This paper represents a technical analysis and a design of control law of the ARTS. The control law of the ARTS is designed based on the analysis of aircraft's characteristics, system's requirements, and limitations. The control law is comprised of open loop control using the rudder trim map for a specific aircraft and closed loop control to compensate the error of the open loop control system. flight test results show that the ARTS can reduce pilot's work load for rudder trimming dramatically and can compensate the aircraft's transient yaw motion.

Our nation have several procedures and law for national airspace management, however those procedures and law not enough to manage airspace. Therefore, I have studied this paper for improving flight safety and for providing economics flight of civcil aircraft and military aircraft, also, for increasing efficiency of airspace through systematic airspace management, additionally, for improving nation defense ability and for preventation our nation damage when occuring airspace problem. Nowaday. in using airspace. two theory which freely use theory and use theory under jurisdiction is opposed by every nation in worldwide. Consequently. we can realize every nation endeavour to increase their jurisdiction airspace. However. our nation is not still prepared to cope with other nation when occuring airspace trouble. because airspace definition is not prescribed on our aviation law. Therefore. several problems which are improved in our airspace management are presented on this paper. The presented matters are as follows. First, The airspace definition is not prescribed on aviation law and responsibility limit of airspace management is ambugious. Second. problem on structure of approach control area and special airspace, Third. problem on airway system. Fourth. civil agency and military agency apply respectively different regulation in establishment of aircraft flight route, To grasp these problems, considered the airspace conception, airspace classfication. legal character of airspace. our nation airspace state and management together with other nation airspace state and management. also compared our nation airspace management with other nation airspace management. And. improvement methods to solve problems which was appeared by comparing and analysis are presented on this paper.

An advanced method of Relaxed Static Stability (RSS) is utilized for improving the aerodynamic performance of modern version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. The flight control system utilize RSS criteria in both longitudinal and lateral-directional axes to achieve performance enhancements and improve stability. The T-50 advanced trainer employs the RSS concept in order to improve the aerodynamic performance and the flight control law in order to guarantee aircraft stability. The longitudinal two modes are the short period with high frequency and the phugoid mode with low frequency. The design goals of longitudinal control laws is concerned with the short period damping and frequency optimization using lower order equivalent system and utilizing the requirement of MIL-F-8785C. Analysis of short period mode has been and continues to be performed This paper addresses the analysis of aircraft phugoid node characteristics such as damping, natural frequency, and analysis of aircraft pitch motion that impacted by angle of attack limiter and auto pitch attitude control law.

an approach to air-vehicle design, an application of the radio-controlled model flight test techniques has been presented. The approach presented in this study is to validate the air-vehicle design configuration by analyzing the flight test results of scale model with dynamic similarities, and then to apply the analyzed results to the aerodynamic design process in early stage of the air-vehicle development. To develop practically applicable similarity laws for the subscale flying model design, the air-vehicle motions are decoupled into rotational motions for stability & control similarities and translational motions for flight performance similarities. Also, detail techniques for radio-controlled model flight test have been developed. Based on the results obtained from the radio-controlled flight test, the present approach for air-vehicle design has shown to be useful to validate the air-vehicle design configuration.

In this paper, a guidance law for vision-based automatic landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is proposed. Automatic landing is a challenging but crucial capability for UAVs to achieve a fully autonomous flight. In an autonomous landing maneuver of UAVs, the decision of where to landing and the generation of guidance command to achieve a successful landing are very significant problem. This paper is focused on the design of guidance law applicable to automatic landing problem of fixed-wing UAV and rotary-wing UAV, simultaneously. The proposed guidance law generates acceleration command as a control input which derived from a specified time-to-go ($t_go$) polynomial function. The coefficient of $t_go$-polynomial function are determined to satisfy some terminal constraints. Nonlinear simulation results using a fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAV models are presented.

The PPT being currently developed for the flight model represents a significant leap in techniques and technology compared to the previous flight ones. The electrical energy to be charged in the pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) is a very important aspect to provide an uniform impulse bit ,, and a specific impulse ,, for satellite attitude control. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear control technique and a stability analysis based on the Lyapunov function for the pulsed plasma thruster. Specifically, the proposed control law guarantees to charge and discharge the electrical energy generated from the power processing unit (PPU) within the specified time.

This paper presents a vision-based guidance method that allows a fixed-wing aircraft to orbit around a target at a given radius. The guidance method uses a simple formula that regulates a relative side-bearing angle estimated by a vision system. The global asymptotic stability of the associated guidance law is demonstrated, and a linear analysis is performed to facilitate the proper selection of the relevant control parameters. A flight experiment is presented to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed guidance method.

In this paper, the stable region for missile guidance loop employing an integrated proportional navigation guidance law is derived. The missile guidance loop is formulated as a closed-loop control system consisting of a linear time-invariant feed-forward block and a time-varying feedback gain. By applying the circle criterion to the system, a bound for the time of flight up to which stability can be assured is established as functions of flight time. Less conservative results, as compared to the result by Popov criterion, are obtained.

Computational study has been undertaken to investigate the aerodynamic influence of side jet on a supersonic missile and to find a similarity condition between the flight condition and the wind tunnel testing. Tasks were performed to validate the existing Raytheon test body with side jet, to simulate the flow inside the supersonic wind tunnel, and to compare the flow fields between the missile in free flight and that in the wind tunnel. Then sub-scale model of body-tail configuration was analyzed to estimate the influence of the side jet on the missile components. It Is found that the influence of side Jet is not as significant on the tail region as on the body surface and a simple algebraic formula for aerodynamic coefficients accounting for the side jet as a point force may be cautiously utilized in setting up control logic.
