A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.

기상청, 국토교통부 및 국방부는 각 기관의 특성에 맞게 기상, 수문 및 항공 관측용 레이더를 운영하고 있다. 2015년까지 국내에는 총 8대의 이중편파레이더(백령도, 용인테스트베드, 진도, 면봉산, 비슬산, 소백산, 모후산, 서대산 레이더)가 도입되어 운영되고 있다. 레이더를 운영 중인 세개 부처는 관측목적이 달라 레이더에 대한 운영방식, 자료 처리 방식 및 활용 방안 등에서 서로 많은 차이를 보여 왔으며 이러한 차이는 각 부처에서 운영하는 레이더 자료의 정확도가 달라지게 하는 원인이 되고 있다. 이에, 세 부처는 2010년 "기상-강우 레이더 자료 공동 활용에 관한 합의서"를 체결하고, 서로 다른 부처에서 생산된 모든 레이더 자료를 공동 활용하는 체계를 마련하였다. 범부처 이중편파레이더 자료의 합성을 위해서는 부처별 레이더 간의 정확도가 서로 유사해야한다. 서로간의 정확도가 다른 상태에서 레이더 강우 자료를 합성하게 된다면 공간적으로 품질이 다른 합성 강우장이 생산될 수밖에 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 범부처 이중편파레이더 강우량의 정확도 향상과 통합을 위해 2015년도에 용인테스트베드 레이더에서 시행되었던 경험적 방법을 이용하였다. 그 결과 2015년 5월부터 10월까지의 백령도, 비슬산 및 소백산 레이더 자료에 대한 강우량 정확도(1-NE)가 70% 수준으로 향상되었다. 또한 레이더 편파변수 조절 전에는 정확도가 30~60%까지 넓은 범위를 보이고 있으나 조절 후 65~70%로 그 범위가 줄어들었다.
