Over the past several decades, embedded system and flight control computer technologies have been evolved to meet the diverse needs of the mobile device market. Current embedded systems are at the heart of technologies that can take advantage of small-sized specialized hardware while still providing high-efficiency performance at low cost. One of these key technologies is multiple memory banks. For example, a dual memory bank can provide two times more memory bandwidth in the same memory space. This benefit take lower cost to provide the same bandwidth. However, there is still few software technologies to support the efficient use of multiple memory banks. In this study, we present a technique to efficiently exploit multiple memory banks by software support. Specifically, our technique use an interference graph to optimally allocate data to different memory banks by an optimizing compiler. As a result, the execution time can be improved upto 7% with the proposed technique.

This paper describes signal attenuation characteristics as splicing the output on LVDT for stability and reliability of switching mechanism, which is developed to use common signal between FLCC and EDFLCC, on T-50 aircraft. The method of test is classified a Pspice simulation and an actual hardware evaluation. The difference of error margin for two methods is 10times, the latter higher. The result in this experiment shows that the signal attenuation as splicing the output on LVDT doesn't affect and the static error margin is 53% for develope the EDFLCC.

In this paper, a HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop-Simulation) System designed for an unmanned airship, which is under development by KARI, is introduced. A HILS system is essential to validate flight control systems on the ground. The HILS system consists of several systems: a virtual ADT(airborne data terminal) system, a virtual payload system, a virtual airship system, and a status display system. Also, a 3-axis motion table and an inertial navigation sensor are included. The reliability of the flight control computer has been validated by HILS tests.

When new inertial navigation systems for an unmanned aerial vehicles are being developed and tested, construction of a fault-tolerant system is required because of various types of hazards caused by S/W and H/W faults. In this paper, a new fault-tolerant flight system that can be deployed into one or more FCCs (Flight Control Computers) is introduced, based on a partition scheme wherein each OFP (Operational Flight Program) partition uses an independent CPU and memory slot. The new fault-tolerant navigation system utilizes one or two FCCs, and executes a primary navigation OFP under development and a stable shadow OFP partition on each node. The fault-tolerant navigation system based on a single FCC can be used for UAVs with small payloads. For larger UAVs, an additional FCC with two OFP partitions can be used to provide both H/W and S/W fault-tolerance. The developed fault-tolerant navigation system significantly removes various hazards in testing new navigation S/Ws for UAVs.

The main purpose of the current research is to developments a real-time Hardware In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation testbed for the satellite formation flying navigation and orbit control. The HIL simulation testbed is integrated for demonstrations and evaluations of navigation and orbit control algorithms. The HIL simulation testbed is composed of Environment computer, GPS simulator, Flight computer and Visualization computer system. GPS measurements are generated by a SPIRENT GSS6560 multi-channel RF simulator to produce pseudorange, carrier phase measurements. The measurement date are transferred to Satrec Intiative space borne GPS receiver and exchanged by the flight computer system and subsequently processed in a navigation filter to generate relative or absolute state estimates. These results are fed into control algorithm to generate orbit controls required to maintain the formation. These maneuvers are informed to environment computer system to build a close simulation loop. In this paper, the overall design of the HIL simulation testbed for the satellite formation flying navigation and control is presented. Each component of the testbed is then described. Finally, a LEO formation navigation and control simulation is demonstrated by using virtual scenario.

최근 무인항공기 (Unmanned Aerial Vehicel, UAV)는 장점인 빠른 이동속도와 장착된 카메라를 이용하여 넓은 지역을 감시하기 위해서 활용되고 있다. 하지만, 조종사가 UAV를 직접 조종하여 넓은 지역을 비행하기에는 많은 비용이 발생한다. UAV가 자율적으로 넓은 지역을 비행하는 방법이 요구된다. 이 논문은 웨이포인트를 기반으로 UAV를 비행시키기 위한 Ground Control Station (GCS)의 구조를 제안한다. 비행할 웨이포인트는 위성항법시스템(Global Positioning System, GPS) 기반으로 설정하고 제안한 구조를 기반으로 다양한 임무 수행을 위해 다수의 비행 알고리즘을 정의하여 UAV를 비행시킨다. 부가적으로, 웨이포인트 기반으로 UAV를 비행시키기 위한 사용자 인터페이스도 소개한다.

Most conventional processors execute program instructions in a sequential manner. On the other hand, VLIW processor can execute multiple instructions at the same time. It exploits instruction level parallelism to improve system performance. To that end, program code should be rearranged to VLIW instruction format by a compiler. The compiler determine an optimal execution order of instructions of a program code. This instruction ordering is also called instruction scheduling. The scheduling is an algorithm that decides the execution order for instruction codes in loop parts of a program so that the instruction level parallelism can be maximized. In this research, we apply an existing scheduling algorithm to a VLIW FCC and describe analysis results to further improve its performance. And, we present a solution to solve some limitation of the existing scheduling technique. By using our solution, FCC's performance can be improved upto 32% compared to the existing scheduling only setting.

An analytical framework for fuzzy modeling and control of nonlinear systems using a set of linear models is presented. Fuzzy clustering is applied on the aerodynamic coefficients of a missile to obtain an optimal number of rules in a Tagaki-Sugeno fuzzy rule-set. Next, the obtained membership functions and rule-sets are applied to a set of linear optimal controllers towards extraction of a global controller. Reported simulations demonstrate the performance, stability, and robustness of the controller.

The Smart UAV must have the control characteristics of propulsion system necessary for both rotary aircraft and fixed wing aircraft though it equips turbo-shaft engine. To develop an electronic engine controller in the future, it is necessary to accumulate the experience of engine operation and data of tilt rotor aircraft. For this purpose, the computer programs which predict engine performance in the steady state and transient state can be utilized for the supplementation of flight test data. In this work, we developed a dynamic analysis program using engine performance data gathered during the flight tests. In addition the accuracy of the program was verified through comparison with flight test data and the results of steady-state performance analysis program.
