An actuator should be added to a existing control linkage to make manned aircraft to unmanned. But it is quiet difficult to synchronize actuator with control surface because non-linear error necessarily occurs when four-bar linkage acts in three dimensional motion. In addition, in point of controller design view, while a real-time model needs the control surface deflection as its input, controller needs the actuator command as its output. Hence, the relation between both should be investigated. In this paper, the mathematical relation between actuator and control surface deflection investigated by kinematic analysis of a plant aircraft. The performance margin of the selected actuator also was verified.

It is very difficult to acquire high-fidelity flight test data for small airplanes such as typical unmanned aerial vehicles because MEMS-type small sensors used in the tests do not present reliable data in general. Besides, it is not practical to conduct expensive flight tests for low-cost small airplanes in order to simulate their flight characteristics. A practical approach to obtain acceptable flight data, including stability and control derivatives and data of weight and balance, is proposed in this study. Aircraft design software such as Darcorp's AAA is used to generate aerodynamic data for small airplanes, and moments of inertia are calculated using CATIA, structural design software. These flight data from simulation software are evaluated subjectively and tailored using simulation flight by experienced pilots, based on the certified procedures in FAA AC 120-45A and 40B, which are used for manned airplane simulators.

The true north-finding equipment utilizing gyro sensor is used for INS(Inertial Navigation System) and has an increasing preference for gyro compass system due to compact size, lightening, low power and price. The purpose of this experiment is to research gyro compass system providing high performance in the field of manned or unmanned gyro compass system which proposes the accuracy of 1% utilizing experimented equipment at true north of the earth. Unlike the conventional system, the proposed gyro sensor system indicates to be applied in the various and specific equipment using multiple technique and method.

UAVs(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have many applications in military and commercial areas. The flight control system of UAVs is more important than manned aircraft's because the mission of UAVs must be operated without a human pilot. But very heavy and expensive navigation system makes it difficult to develop UAV flight control system. In this research, GPS/IMU integrated navigation filter was developed for light weight/low cost flight control system of small UAVs. With this navigation filter, full flight control system which has real time operating capability has been developed. The performance of the flight control system is basically checked by HILSIM (Hardware In the Loop SIMulation). Finally, the flight control system is verified by showing performance test result under real flight environment.

An application of adaptive flight controller is required for the non-linear and high uncertain system that configuration of tiltrotor aircraft is dramatically changed from rotary wing mode to fixed wing mode. In this paper, the applicable adaptive controller for the tiltrotor aircraft was designed using Neural Networks and DMI (Dynamic Model Inversion). The performance of the SCAS (Stability and Control Augmentation System) was simulated against manned military specification, using the fullscale model of 'Smart UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)' developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. And Neural Networks based adaptive controller was verified through its whole operating envelope using the established HQ (Handling Quality) criteria.

Major global powers are investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and hyper-connected networks, demonstrating their crucial role in future warfare. To advance and utilize AI in national defense, it is essential to have policy support at the governmental or national level. This includes establishing a research and development infrastructure, creating a common development environment, and fostering AI expertise through education and training programs. To achieve advancements in hyper-connected networks, it is essential to establish a foundation for a robust and resilient infrastructure by comprehensively building integrated satellite, aerial, and ground networks, along with developing 5G & edge computing and low-orbit satellite communication technologies. This multi-faceted approach will ensure the successful integration of AI and hyper-connected networks, strengthening national defense and positioning nations at the forefront of technological advancements in warfare.

Herein, an innovative transmission technique that utilizes the satellite aerial terrestrial integrated network (SATIN) architecture in combination with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communications is proposed. This approach is designed to significantly enhance communication rates, which is critical for modern and future combat capabilities. The effectiveness of the proposed transmission system is validated by conducting a comparative analysis of the sum-throughput results, considering various numbers of transmission nodes within the SATIN structure. The results and analyses reveal that the proposed method outperforms traditional methods such as spatial division multiple access (SDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA), especially in terms of reducing data loss. This superior performance is primarily due to the advanced capability of NOMA in minimizing interference between signals, resulting in improved sum-throughput outcomes. The implementation of this method is expected to significantly enhance command communications in manned-unmanned combat systems, thereby bolstering overall combat effectiveness through improved transmission rates.

Although there are differences in the classification of category adopted by each country, small UAS is usually classified as the one less than 25 kg. UAS has been mainly used for military and public purposes, but in recent years, it has spread to the private sector for hobby, media, and so on. Especially, considering the nature of the operating region and applications, it is necessary to improve operating time, noise and vibration in small UAS to ensure the same level of safety with a manned aircraft. This is because the drone can pose health and safety hazard through collision with manned aircraft or crashing into the ground. In this paper, we investigated operational regulations in the United States and European countries. Based on the investigation, a domestic system development plan for small UAS operation is under development.

Since the concept of Manned-UnManned Teaming(MUM-T) and Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS) can efficiently respond to rapidly changing battle space, many studies are being conducted as key components of the mosaic warfare environment. In this paper, we propose a rule-based AI engagement model based on Basic Fighter Maneuver(BFM) capable of Within-Visual-Range(WVR) air-to-air combat and a simulation environment in which human pilots can participate. In order to develop a rule-based AI engagement model that can pilot a fighter with a 6-DOF dynamics model, tactical manuals and human pilot experience were configured as knowledge specifications and modeled as a behavior tree structure. Based on this, we improved the shortcomings of existing air combat models. The proposed model not only showed a 100 % winning rate in engagement with human pilots, but also visualized decision-making processes such as tactical situations and maneuvering behaviors in real time. We expect that the results of this research will serve as a basis for development of various AI-based engagement models and simulators for human pilot training and embedded software test platform for fighter.
