This study proposes a methodology for mission/path planning of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using an artificial potential field with the Markov Decision Process (MDP). The planning problem is formulated as an MDP. A low-resolution solution of the MDP is obtained and used to define an artificial potential field, which provides a continuous UAV mission plan. A numerical case study is conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique.

고도화되는 전장 환경에서 적진의 정보는 군사 작전을 수행하는 데 있어 중요한 요소이다. 적진의 정보를 획득하기 위한 감시정찰을 목적으로 아군의 인력 손실이 없고 저 비용으로 임무에 투입이 가능한 무인항공기(UAV; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, 이하 무인기) 운용이 늘어나고 있다. 무인기 임무 수행 환경은 대공위협이 존재하므로 무인기가 격추되지 않고 생존성을 보장할 수 있는 임무공간이 필요하다. 임무공간을 정의하기 위해서는 형상공간(Configuration Space) 개념을 활용하며, 적진의 대공방호영역 및 무인기가 탐지할 수 있는 범위를 고려한다. 무인기는 적진의 정보를 획득하기 위해 임무에 주어진 모든 영역을 방문해야 하며, 이를 위해 커버리지 경로 계획(Coverage Path Planning)을 수행한다. 무인기에 대한 위협 및 획득할 정보의 중요도를 바탕으로 무인기가 우선적으로 방문해야 할 영역을 정의하며, 격자지도를 생성하고 각 격자에 위협 정보를 매핑하여 경로 계획에 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 격자지도에 표시된 위협정보를 바탕으로 커버리지 조건 및 경로 계획 절차를 제시하며, 탐지 효율 향상을 위해 임무공간을 확장한다. 끝으로 본 연구에서 제시한 무인기 경로계획 방법에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 관련된 결과를 제시한다.

This study contains the process of developing a Mission Planning System (MPS) of an USV that can be applied in real situations and verifying them through HILS. In this study, we set the scenario of a single USV with limited operating time. Since the USV may not perform some missions due to the limited operating time, an objective function was defined to maximize the Mission Achievement Rate (MAR). We used a genetic algorithm to solve the problem model, and proposed a method using a 3-D population. The simulation showed that the probability of deriving the global optimal solution of the mission planning algorithm was 96.6% and the computation time was 1.6 s. Furthermore, USV showed it performs the mission according to the results of the MPS. We expect that the MPS developed in this study can be applied to the real environment where USV performs missions with limited time conditions.

다목적 실용위성 1호의 초기운영과 정상임무운영을 위한 임무 및 명령계획 작업은 MAPS(Mission Analysis & Planning Subsystem)의 임무 및 명령계획 S/W를 이용하였다. 시간이 지날수록 요구되는 임무양이 증가하면서 수동작업이 많아 요구되는 기존 S/W를 이용하여 임무운영을 수행할 경우 안정성이 크게 저하되었으며, 자동 처리과정이 부족하여 결과검증에 소모되는 시간도 증가하였다. 다목적 실용위성 관제국은 이를 개선하고자 보다 신속하고 안전하게 임무 및 명령계획 작업을 수행할 수 있으며, 중요 과정들을 자동화하여 임무운영의 안정성을 높일 수 있는 새로운 임무 및 명령계획 S/W를 개발하였다. 본 논문은 다목적 실용위성 1호의 임무계획 및 자동 명령계획표 생성기(KSCG, KOMPSAT-1 Scheduling & Automatic Command Plan Generator)의 개발내용과 실제 운영결과를 기술하였다. KSCG를 사용한 결과, 작업능률 향상과 임무운영 안정성을 획기적으로 높였다.

In defense domain, mission level and engagement level simulation tools exist. In order to experiment a simulation scenario for obtaining results of both mission level and engagement level simulations, we should write a same simulation scenario in a mission level simulation tool as well as an engagement level simulation tool, and we have to operate these tools for analysis of each purpose. Moreover, we could not guarantee that these scenarios are completely same since each scenario is composed of different fidelities of simulation models, although the scenarios are written by a same experimenter and with same simulation purpose. To deal with the difficulties, I propose an approach to analysis of both mission level and engagement level simulations from one simulation result. For this, I have built Composite Combat Mission Planning Simulation Environment (CCMPSE). In this paper, the HLA/RTI based simulation composition technology and my experiences for the designed Composite Combat Mission Planning Simulation Control System (CCMPSCS) are explained. Moreover, This paper also conducts a case study with EADSIM, SADM, and the CCMPSCS. Finally, this paper provides lesson learned from the case study.

발사체의 발사 시험과 운용에 있어, 예기치 못한 로켓의 오작동으로 인한 인명과 재산의 피해를 예방 또는 최소화하기 위하여 비행안전 시스템은 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. KSR-Ⅲ 발사시 처음으로 운용될 비행안전 시스템은 비행안전 디스플레이 시스템과 비행종단 시스템으로 나뉘어진다. 발사 후 비행중인 로켓의 여러 비행상태와 예상낙하점등은 실시간으로 디스플레이 시스템을 통하여 관찰되며, 로켓이 안전영역을 벗어나거나 로켓의 추적이 불가능하게 될 경우 비행종단시스템은 로켓의 비행을 즉시 중단시키는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 비행안전 시스템 구현에 관하여 수행된 실시간 비행안전 디스플레이 시스템과 비행종단시스템의 개발에 관하여 기술하고 있다.

The strategic UAV for theater level ISR(Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) mission typically has numerous ground targets over area of responsibility(AOR) or area of operation(AO). It is necessary to automatically incorporate these multitude of ground targets into mission planning process in order to collect ISR images before actual flight mission. In addition, weather information such as wind direction and/or velocity may have significant impacts on the qualities of collected sensor images, especially in SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) images. Thus weather factors in the operation altitude should also be considered in the mission planning stage. In this study, we propose a novel mission planning scheme based on target scheduling and deviation correction method incorporating weather factors.

Since its launching on 21 December 1999, the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-Ⅰ (KOMPSAT-Ⅰ) has been successfully operated by the Mission Control Element (MCE), which was developed by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). Most of the major functions of the MCE have been successfully demonstrated and verified during the three years of the mission life of the satellite. The Mission Analysis and Planning Subsystem (MAPS), which is one of the four subsystems in the MCE, played a key role in the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) operations as well as the on-orbit mission operations. This paper presents the operational performances of the various functions in MAPS. We show the performance and analysis of orbit determinations using ground-based tracking data and GPS navigation solutions. We present four instances of the orbit maneuvers that guided the spacecraft from injection orbit into the nominal on-orbit. We include the ground-based attitude determination using telemetry data and the attitude maneuvers for imaging mission. The event prediction, mission scheduling, and command planning functions in MAPS subsequently generate the spacecraft mission operations and command plan. The fuel accounting and the realtime ground track display also support the spacecraft mission operations. We also present the orbital evolutions during the three years of the mission life of the KOMPSAT-Ⅰ.

The KOMPSAT-1(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-1) is the first multi-purpose satellite funded by Korean government for the purpose of remote sensing and scientific data gathering in KOREA. It has successfully achieved its own mission since Dec. 21, 1999. This paper provides an overview of the KOMPSAT-1 missions and addresses the nominal mission planning and operation flow. This paper also describes the routine operational orbit determination and orbit prediction process using GPS navigation solution data. Meanwhile, some problems due to inexperience of the multiple mission operations during LEOP(Launch & Early Orbit Phase) and early normal mission were investigated. Then, resolutions that include the development of new mission planning tool are addressed. The KOMPSAT-1´s missions become more complicated rather than its Initially designed ones. In order to accomplish ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Mission Planning System(MPS) for multiple ballistic missiles. MPSs are also a kind of M&S systems in defense domain, and these provide important computations on the ground before flights of flying objects. The proposed MPS in this paper has a new concept which is far from generating a set of waypoints of a flying object and proving the set. In this paper, we firstly discuss the research motivation of our own MPS; then, we introduce the design of our MPS and its functionalities. In order to prove the practicality of our MPS, we have conducted a case study.
