In this paper, the performances of Cram$\acute{e}$r-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) with Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) measurements for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tracking are investigated. We focus on two cases: the influence on CRLB with FDOA measurements collected by time, and random distribution of Ground Stations (GSs). We derived the performance by gauging the size of CRLB through Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF). From the simulation results, broader distribution of GSs and FDOA measurements by longer time bring about better performance.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have mostly been used for military purposes but with the progress in ICT and reduced manufacturing costs, they are increasingly used for various private services. UAVs are expected to carry out autonomous flying in the future. In order to carry out complex tasks, swarm flights are essential. Although the swarm flights has been researched a lot due to its different network and infrastructure from the existing UAV system, There are still not enough study on security threats and requirements for the secure swarm flights. In this paper, to solve these problems, UAV autonomous flight technology is defined based on US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and swarm flights and security threat about it are classified. And then we defined and compared security requirements according to security threats of each swarm flights so as to contribute to the development of secure UAC swarm flights in the future.

Recently, demands on civilian UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has been increasing and appropriate communication system is required for the UAV. In this paper, the performance of the UAV communication system using commercial wireless mobile network is discussed. The main service area of the wireless mobile network is ground level however the flying range of the UAV is normally in high altitude. Because of this mismatch of service area the performance of the UAV communication system is degraded in high altitude. To compensate performance degradation of the UAV communications system in high altitude, adaptive array antenna is introduced which is able to overcome altitude limitation of the UAV communication system.

본 논문에서는 UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)을 이용하여 목표물을 찾고 목표물의 위치가 멀거나 목표물이 이동 시에도 기지국까지 지속적인 통신 연결을 제공하기 위해 UAV 집단을 제어하는 방안을 제안한다. 기존의 통신 시설을 이용할 수 없으며, UAV들 간에만 무선 랜 통신이 가능한 전시상황이나 특수 재난 상황에서 사용되는 것을 가정하였다. 제안 방안은 UAV들이 탐색지역 내에 목표물을 찾은 후에 목표물에 대한 정보를 기지국까지 전달하기 위하여 UAV들을 이동시킨다. 목표물이 먼 곳에 위치할 시에는 UAV들이 기지국까지의 통신 연결을 주기적이라도 유지하기 위해 UAV가 다른 UAV의 통신 범위까지 이동하여 정보를 전달하고 원래 위치로 복귀하는 방안과, 목표물이 이동할 때 목표물을 추적하며 기지국과의 연결성을 유지하는 방안을 제안한다. 이와 같은 과정들은 NS-2를 사용한 모의실험을 통하여 제안되는 기법을 검증하고 성능을 평가한다.

As the use of unmanned aerial vehicles increases, in order to expand the operability of the unmanned aerial vehicle, it is essential to develop an unmanned aerial vehicle traffic management system, and to establish the system, it is necessary to analyze the integrated navigation performance of the unmanned aerial vehicle to be operated. Integrated navigation performance is affected by various factors such as the type of unmanned aerial vehicle, flight environment, and guidance law algorithm. In addition, since a large amount of flight data is required to obtain high-reliability analysis results, efficient and consistent flight scenarios are required. In this paper, a flight scenario that satisfies the requirements for integrated navigation performance analysis of rotary and fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles was designed and verified through flight experiments.

For the development of an all composite unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), manufacturing consideration in design phase, works for composite parts fabrication, subassembly and final assembly are summarized. In design phase, to maximize the advantage of composite material, manufacturing processes such as cocuring, cobonding and secondary bonding are introduced. For the curing of designed parts, composite tools are designed and manufactured. Assembly jigs are designed to satisfy dimensional tolerance of the structure. Inspection criteria are established and applied to the manufacturing. Technical data about inspection items and methods are summarized as manufacturing specifications for the mass production of the UAV structure.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), acting as mobile base stations (BSs), can be deployed in the typical fifth-generation mobile communications (5G) scenarios for the purpose of substantially enhancing the radio coverage. Meanwhile, UAV aided underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication mode can be activated for further improving the capacity of the 5G networks. However, this UAV aided D2D communication system is more vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks, resulting in security risks. In this paper, the D2D receivers work in full-duplex (FD) mode, which improves the security of the network by enabling these legitimate users to receive their useful information and transmit jamming signal to the eavesdropper simultaneously (with the same frequency band). The security communication under the UAV coverage is evaluated, showing that the system's (security) capacity can be substantially improved by taking advantage of the flexible radio coverage of UAVs. Furthermore, the closed-form expressions for the coverage probabilities are derived, showing that the cellular users (CUs)' secure coverage probability in downlink transmission is mainly impacted by the following three factors: its communication area, the relative position with UAV, and its eavesdroppers. In addition, it is observed that the D2D users or DUs' secure coverage probability is relevant to state of the UAV. The system's secure capacity can be substantially improved by adaptively changing the UAV's position as well as coverage.

In this paper, we propose an anomaly detection system (ADS) to detect anomalies of the in-vehicle network for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed ADS detects the anomalies by measuring the similarity of status messages sequences periodically sent by the UAV to the ground control system. We defined three types of malicious message injection attacks that can be performed on the in-vehicle network of UAV and simulated those attack techniques in the Pixhawk4 quadcopter. The proposed ADS can detect abnormal sequences with accuracy of higher than 96%.
