다양한 목적으로 군에서 운용되고 있는 무인항공기는 목적에 따라 수집된 정보를 무선통신을 이용하여 지상의 통제장비로 전송하고 비행체의 운용제어 및 상태정보를 송수신 할 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 현재 국내에서 운용 중인 군용 무인항공기 체계는 각 체계별 고유 통신방식과 프로토콜, 메시지 구조 등을 이용하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현재 체계개발 중에 있는 두 기종의 군용 무인항공기 체계의 TM/TC 데이터 프로토콜을 분석하고 무선 통신환경에서 더 효율적인 TM/TC 메시지 설계방안에 대해 제시한다. 또한 향후 다수의 무인기 간 또는 새로 도입되는 무인기 체계와의 상호운용성 보장을 위한 기술 표준화를 위해 고려해야할 사항 등에 대해 논하고자 한다.

Researches on air-ground robot cooperating system has been made recently. The cooperation among homogeneous robots focused on the architecture of the system, quality and influence of the communication. In contrast, the cooperation among heterogeneous robots such as aerial vehicle and ground vehicle robots has not been much handled. There are a couple of main points for those air-ground cooperating robots. One is using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) as an extra sensor of UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle). This kind of application is usually used in situations such as guiding UGV to an appropriate path which could be better determined from the eye in the sky as UAV. The other main application of air-ground cooperating robot system is the localization. By combining sensor information from both UAV and UGV, the robot system as a whole can localize a target object or find features in the environment with better performance than UGV or UAV alone. Although these applications are recently studied in many different ways and devices, there are still a lot of possibilities in the field of air-ground cooperating robot systems. We introduce those research fields in this paper.

This paper introduces an experimental device which can measure accurate aerodynamic forces without support interference in wide experimental region for wind tunnel test of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). A stereo pattern recognition (SPR) method was introduced to a magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS), which can eliminate support interference by levitating the experimental model, to establish wider experimental region; thereby MSBS-SPR integrated system was developed. The SPR method is non-contact, highly accurate three-dimensional position measurement method providing wide measurement range. To evaluate the system performance, a series of performance evaluations including SPR system measurement accuracy and 6 degrees of freedom (DOFs) position/attitude control of the MAV model were conducted. This newly developed system could control the MAV model rapidly and accurately within almost 60mm for translational DOFs and 40deg for rotational DOFs inside of $300{\times}300mm$ test section. In addition, a static wind tunnel test was conducted to verify the aerodynamic force measurement capability. It turned out that this system could accurately measure the aerodynamic forces in low Reynolds number, even for the weak forces which were hard to measure using typical balance system, without making any mechanical contact with the MAV model.

Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) refer to the aircraft which carries no human pilot and is operated under remote control or in autonomous operational mode. As the UAVs can perform the dull, dangerous and difficult missions, various kinds of UAVs with different sizes and weights have been developed and operated for both civil and military application. As the avionics and communication technology related to the UAVs are matured, the demand for the UAVs is dramatically increased. Therefore, It is important to develope airworthiness process and regulations of the UAVs to minimize related risk to the man and environment. This paper describes related regulations and classification of the small UAVs for different international airworthiness authorities. The analysis of the CS-LURS verses Stanag 4702 and Stanag 4703 can provide guidelines for the generation of the airworthiness certification criteria for the small UAVs in civil sector. This paper conducted kinetic impact energy analysis of the loss of the small UAVs control scenarios and of the very small UAVs under 66 joules. Based on the analysis, the energy impact analysis can be considered before the design certification approval for the small UAVs.

In recent times, Natural User Interface/Natural User Experience (NUI/NUX) technology has found widespread application across a diverse range of fields and is also utilized for controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Even if the user controls the UAV by utilizing the NUI/NUX technology, it is difficult for the user to easily control the UAV. The user needs an autopilot to easily control the UAV. The user needs a flight path to use the autopilot. The user sets the flight path based on the waypoints. UAVs normally fly straight from one waypoint to another. However, if flight between two waypoints is in a straight line, UAVs may collide with obstacles. In order to solve collision problems, flight records can be utilized to adjust the generated path taking the locations of the obstacles into consideration. This paper proposes a natural path generation method between waypoints based on flight records collected through UAVs flown by users. Bayesian probability is utilized to select paths most similar to the flight records to connect two waypoints. These paths are generated by selection of the center path corresponding to the highest Bayesian probability. While the K-means algorithm-based straight-line method generated paths that led to UAV collisions, the proposed method generates paths that allow UAVs to avoid obstacles.

Acquiring precise coordinates of ground targets can be regarded as the key mission of the tactical-level military UAS(Unmanned Aerial System) operations. The coordinates deviations for the ground targets estimated from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) images may depend on the sensor specifications and slant ranges between UAV and ground targets. It has an order of several tens to hundreds of meters for typical tactical UAV mission scenarios. In this paper, we propose a scheme that precisely acquires target coordinates from UAS by mapping image pixels to geographical coordinates based on GCP(Ground Control Points). This scheme was implemented and tested from ground control station for UAS. We took images of targets of which exact location is known and acquired the target coordinates using our proposed scheme. The experimental results showed that errors of the acquired coordinates remained within an order of several meters and the coordinates accuracy was significantly improved.

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 대한 활용영역은 시간이 갈수록 꾸준히 확대되고 있다. 특히 네 개 이상의 수평적인 프로펠러로 구성된 VTOL(Vertical Take-Off and Landing) 기능이 가능한 UAV는 시스템 안정성 및 비교적 단순한 항공역학적 설계 및 구조에 따라 다양한 플랫폼이 등장하고 있으며 비교적 저렴한 가격으로 응용제품들이 시중에 유통이 되고 있다. 대부분의 UAV는 GCS(Ground Control System, 지상시스템)를 통해 임무가 수행된다. 지상시스템은 주로 인터넷에 연결되어있기 때문에, 전자 지도 및 기타 최적의 비행조건(온도, 습도, 풍향 등)을 위한 환경정보를 또한 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문은 AIS(Auto Identification System)를 통해 얻은 정보를 기반으로 식별된 선박으로의 접근 및 감시(monitoring)하기 위한 UAV의 운영기법을 설계한다.

CFD simulation for one of tilt-rotor UAV configurations, TR-E2S1, was performed to investigate its aerodynamic characteristics. Control surfaces such as elevator and rudder were deflected and wing incidence angle was changed. Also aerodynamic stabilities were analyzed with the variation of pitch and yaw angles. The comparison of CFD with wind tunnel test results reveals the same trends in the aerodynamic characteristics and stabilities. However 12% scale wind tunnel test model is too small for accurate data collection and should build a high fidelity model for quantitative data comparison.

DTN(Disruption/Delay Tolerant Network)은 네트워크의 단절성(partitioning)이 높은 환경에서 단절된 지역 네트워크를 연동하기 위한 네트워크 구조이다. 현재 DTN과 관련하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으며 특히 라우팅 기법에 대한 연구는 가장 많은 관심을 받는 분야 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 단절된 애드혹(Ad-hoc) 네트워크에서 사용자간의 연결성을 제공하기 위하여 무인항공기(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: UAV)를 이용한 DTN의 구성 시 사용가능한 DTN 라우팅 기법을 살펴보고 UAV의 이동 경로 제어 기법을 제안한다. 또한 다양한 시나리오에서의 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가한다.
