  • In this paper, a precision landing approach is implemented based on real-time image processing. A full-scale landmark for automatic landing is used. canny edge detection method is applied to identify the outside quadrilateral while circular hough transform is used for the recognition of inside circle. Position information on the ground landmark is uplinked to the unmanned helicopter via ground control computer in real time so that the unmanned helicopter control the air vehicle for accurate landing approach. Ground test and a couple of flight tests for autonomous landing approach show that the image processing and automatic landing operation system have good performance for the landing approach phase at the altitude of $20m{\sim}1m$ above ground level.

  • The previous limited authority system capable of implementing attitude command response type and translational command response type by operating SAS actuator has the problem of early saturation of SAS actuator since SAS actuator should compensate the mechanical linkage displacement caused by control sick movement. In this paper, a limited authority system where flight control computer receives the command from the control stick which is not connected to the mechanical linkage is described. In this system the compensation by the SAS actuator is not necessary and SAS actuator saturate later. SAS actuator saturation problem can be further relaxed by using the trim actuator. This new limited authority system is applied to BO-105 model, simulation is performed for the doublet input and pirouette maneuver is also simulated and analyzed.

  • The Korea market for LUAV (Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) weighing less than 150 kg is growing rapidly. As a result, the market for manufacturing and operating LUAV is expanding, and domestic development of parts and finished products is actively taking place. However, the flight control system and onboard software, which are key components of domestic LUAV, are largely dependent on overseas products due to the excessive cost and period required for development. This paper presented a domestic software development and certification procedure using DO-178C, a guideline for aircraft software development, and the Model-based Development method, and conducted a survey of those involved in the development, manufacturing, and certification of LUAV and analyzed the results. In addition, a case study was conducted to apply the software development plan to the helicopter FCC (Flight Control Computer).

  • Effective-pivot effects on the thrust vector control performance of the flexible seal nozzle to be used to control the flight direction of missile were investigated by computer simulation. $2^3$-Design of experiment technique was applied and ADMAS was used for the surrogate technique. As a result, radial pivot position had more influence upon the nozzle actuating performance than axial pivot position. Connecting method of actuator was also important factor in determining effective-pivot effects on the thrust vector control performance of the flexible seal nozzle.

  • Drone is demanding more than detaile hardware and software systems because Drone have characteristic flying. If Drone is a plane crash. they have risk of personal injury and property damage. now Drone control core system is preventing a plane crash and flight unsafe flying. The key is to help flying to convert for various external environment. This research prevent a plane crash that system planning to treat six-senser-figure doubly is IMU trouble or a trouble caused by a passing parameters and IMU install to help stability in flying.

  • In order to verify normal operation of satellite OBC(On Board Computer), it is essential that processor monitoring and debugging. So we are using the GRMON of Aeroflex Gaisler. It provides a lot of features for debugging of LEON processor but we can't use that features on the NGSCB(Next Generation Spacecraft Computer Board) except a few things. So the cost-effectiveness is very low. And for hardware fault injection, we are using a method of modify satellite flight software, because we can't modify GRMON. This method can not guarantee normal operation of the satellite flight software. So in this paper we were developed the processor monitoring and fault injection tool for NGSCB.

  • An altitude control using a fuzzy controller was performed for a series of research for autonomous flight control of industrial unmanned helicopters. The 3m class gasoline engined unmanned helicopter was designed, and using the designed specifications, Takagi-Sugeno-Kang type fuzzy controller was designed. The input membership functions were generated using target altitude, altitude error and velocity of unmanned helicopter. With these membership functions, the control inputs for altitude control were calculated. These control input signal can control the main rotor's pitch and determine the velocity and altitude of the unmanned helicopter. Also, the altitude control performance of the designed fuzzy controller was evaluated by computer simulations

  • 본 논문에서는 나로호(KSLV-I) 비행상태의 실시간 감시를 목적으로 국내에서는 처음 개발된 우주센터 원격수신자료전시시스템(EDS)의 구축과 운용을 소개한다. EDS는 우주센터 발사통제시스템의 주요 시스템 중 하나이고 그 역할은 위성발사체의 비행에 중대한 영향을 주는 주요정보(QLM)와 궤적정보(TSPI)를 수신하여 실시간으로 처리함으로써 탑재 서브시스템별 전문가들이 위성발사체의 비행 상태를 감시할 수 있도록 지원하는 것이다. EDS는 3회에 걸친 나로호 비행시험에서 그 역할에 따라 매회 8대가 운영되었으며 임무를 성공적으로 수행하였다. 본 시스템을 기반으로 추후 발전된 형태의 한국형발사체(KSLV-II) 비행상태의 실시간 감시시스템의 구축이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

  • Ultrasonic sensors are widely used in mobile robot applications to recognize external environments, because they are cheap, easy to use, and robust under varying lighting conditions. In most cases, a single ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the distance to an object based on time-of-flight (TOF) information, whereas multiple sensors are used to recognize the shape of an object, such as a corner, plane, or edge. However, the conventional sequential driving technique involves a long measurement time. This problem can be resolved by pulse coding ultrasonic signals, which allows multi-sensors to be fired simultaneously and adjacent objects to be distinguished. Accordingly, the current presents a new simultaneous coded driving system for an ultrasonic sensor array for object recognition in autonomous mobile robots. The proposed system is designed and implemented using a DSP and FPGA. A micro-controller board is made using a DSP, Polaroid 6500 ranging modules are modified for firing the coded signals, and a 5-channel coded signal generating board is made using a FPGA. To verify the proposed method, experiments were conducted in an environment with overlapping signals, and the flight distances for each sensor were obtained from the received overlapping signals using correlations and conversion to a bipolar PCM-NRZ signal.

  • In AAGFCS the effective range is regarded as a range for the bullet's speed exceeding the speed of sound to damage the stationary target. Hence the real engagement range might be extended over the effective range for the approaching target since bullet's relative speed to the target increases depending on the approaching speed. However previous TOF equations have good computation accuracy within the effective range only, and they can not be used above that range due to their bad accuracy. We propose an accurate TOF computation method which can be used both within and above the effective range in real time. Some simulation results are shown to demonstrate usefulness of our algorithm for the 30mm projectile.
