Medication safety and medicine delivery challenge the well-being of the elderly and the management of the elderly center. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the elderly in the care center were challenged by the inconvenience of the medication restocking. The purpose of this paper accentuates the importance of the design and development of an UAV-based Smart Medicine Case (UAV-SMC) to improve the performance of medication management and medicine delivery in the elderly center. The researchers came up with the design of UAV-SMC in the light of the UAV and IoT technology to improve the performance of both Medication Practice Management (MPM) and Low Inventory Detection and Delivery (LIDD). Based on the result, with UAV-SMC, the performance of both MPM and LIDD was significantly improved. The UAV-SMC improves the efficacy of medication management in the elderly center by 26.97 to 149.83 seconds for each medication practice and 9.03 mins for each time of medicine delivery in Subang Jaya Malaysia. This paper only investigates the adoption of UAV-SMC in the content of elderly center rather than other industries. The authors consider integrating the UAV-SMC with the e-pharmacy system in the future. In conclusion, the UAV-SMC has significantly improved the medication management and guard the safety of elderly and caretaker in the elderly in the post-pandemic times.

The video streaming technologies are used in diverse areas including aerospace. UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is still being developed so that we are able to use the UAV not only in military areas but also in civil areas. Remotely monitoring and observing a certain area is possible via using video streaming service based on the UAV nowadays. However, UAV is vulnerable to weather conditions, plane's weight, battery capacity and so on, which makes many restrictions of flight time and video streaming services. In order to prolong the video streaming services, we can use a number of UAVs, fly them one by one, and switch video streaming channels. In the paper, we propose the methods how to interchange UAVs' missions and their video streaming channels to provide seamless video stream services.

The Smart UAV Program was motivated by a huge potential market, a various application and future core technologies. The Smart UAV system is defined as the advanced air vehicle with the smart technology such as collision awareness and avoidance, healthy monitering and self-recovering, intelligent active control. Due to the broad interest by government, industry and academia, Smart UAV development center and government steering committee were established. The organization of Smart UAV program consists of domestic/international companies and academia. in this paper, the process and application of system engineering was introduced for Smart UAV development program.

A UAV is defined as a powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, and can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely. UAV operations have increased dramatically during the past several years in both the public and private sectors. The utilization of UAV and the activities of diverse widening, now the challenge was how to operate and integrate UAV safely in the NAS. The purpose of this study is to look around the trend for operability of Smart UAV in the NAS and to provide its implications and the future direction of integrated operating airspace focusing on U.S. where R&D and demand of UAV are the most in the world.

군사적인 목적으로 사용하던 무인항공기(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV)는 저가로 생산이 가능하지면서 UAV를 감시 및 레저 등 다양하게 상업적으로 활용하고 있다. 소형 UAV에 장착 가능한 카메라의 성능이 개선됨에 따라 감시 및 정찰 임무 등의 활용도가 높아졌다. 소형 UAV를 자율적으로 비행시키며 주어진 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 비행경로 정의가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 조종사가 비행한 기록을 기반으로 비행경로를 자동으로 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 UAV가 감시 및 정찰을 수행하기 위한 비행경로 생성방법을 검증한다.

In the vision-based recovery phase, a terminal guidance for the blended-wing UAV requires visual information of high accuracy. This paper presents the light source target design and detection algorithm for vision-based UAV recovery. We propose a recovery target design with red and green LEDs. This frame provides the relative position between the target and the UAV. The target detection algorithm includes HSV-based segmentation, morphology, and blob processing. These techniques are employed to give efficient detection results in day and night net recovery operations. The performance of the proposed target design and detection algorithm are evaluated through ground-based experiments.

최근에 무인항공기(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV)를 재난 발생 지역과 같은 넓은 지역을 촬영하기 위해서 사용되고 있다. 촬영 비용을 낮추면서 넓은 지역을 촬영하기 위해서 자율 비행 방법이 필요하다. 예를 들어, 모터프리미티브를 기반으로 제어 신호를 UAV로 전송하여 자율 비행하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 지상관제소(Ground Control Station, GCS)에서 UAV로 제어 신호를 전송하는 과정에서 제어 신호의 손실이 발생하면 예상한 모터프리미티브를 수행하지 못한다. 이 논문에서는 GCS에서 UAV로 송신된 제어 신호가 실행되고 있는지 검사하는 방법을 제안한다. UAV로 송신된 제어 신호의 실행 여부를 확인함으로써 예상한 모터프리미티브를 제어 신호 손실 없이 수행가능하다.

The UAV industry grows rapidly and the civil UAV market which preparing the commercial services is expected to accelerate the growth. The new opportunities from the technological progress and deregulation show two kinds of organizational structure in the UAV industry. The companies from the traditional aircraft industry and the other sectors like IT industry have different organizational structures of the value chains, supply chains and the regulatory policies which related with them. And from the isomorphism theory it is predicted that those structures will change and converge to certain similar homogeneous features as the UAV industry matures. The matured form will be resulted by the new regulatory policies about the airspace, certifications and the operation rules about the UAV and the future market size and growth speed are also affected by them.

최근 기후변화에 의한 이상기후에 따라 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 집중호우로 인해 내수, 외수 침수 등 수재해 발생 빈도 및 피해 규모가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 홍수범람 상황 및 피해양상을 효과적으로 모니터링하고 분석하는 기술은 부족하다. 현재 여러 분야에서 UAV를 활용한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러므로 홍수 모니터링에 UAV를 활용함으로써 홍수 모니터링의 적시성 및 정확성의 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 최근까지도 홍수로 인한 침수에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 홍수로 인한 배수에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 UAV 촬영을 통해 취득한 포인트 클라우드 자료를 기반으로 한 경사도 기법을 활용하여 DSM을 하천 측량에 활용 가능한 DEM으로 변환하여 지형자료를 구축하였다. 2차원 수치모형인 FLUMEN을 사용하여 홍수로 인한 침수와 배수를 고려한 모의를 수행 중이며 모의 결과를 UAV 홍수 모니터링 영상과 비교, 검증할 것이다. 또한, 침수와 배수의 소요시간 등을 분석하고 검토할 것이다.
